Sounds like the motor might be faulty, as to testing it, Id say take the lid off of it and stick a dvd/game in it. Listen and see if the motor hums or not. Could even try and pluck the dvd out and see. I'm pretty sure that you can not have a dvd in the drive and the laser will go back and forth to check for a disc.
Seeing as how you greased the rails I doubt its a lubrication problem. Probably a burnt motor. If it is let us know, and ill search for a replacement for you.

I'll look into it, if not you might have to get a new drive.
