Hello, I need some help on fixing my old ps2 30001 R ntsc model's disc drive so that it plays discs.

Problem 1: the small white ribbon cable near the power cable came off of the drive board and the spinner spins like eh, eh,eh I quit!

Problem 2: There's this small metal rod that was in the box it was stored piece meal in is that anything important?

Problem 3: The drive usually after my dad fixed it twice sucks the tray back in every 5 seconds now it refuses to open at all.

Help in resolving all of these issues would be very much welcomed.
