A quick search revealed the answer being the cd spindle had dropped and just needed prying up.
Got that sorted. Also replaced the tray eject belt which was missing.

Apparently there's a battery inside this chip which is completely drained.
I've seen various methods for this mod, some of them a little too aggressive for my liking.
I can snip this off and solder to those easily
And looking at this closer you can see there's a second battery hiding in here. I'm not sure if these would ever leak, but I feel better knowing I've removed that doubt
