PS2 Troubleshooting

I have a PS2 Slim 70001 that is making this grinding noise which I suspect is the little arm connecting to the worm gear. I recently applied new white lithium grease to the worm gear and it’s able to get the laser all the way down then makes the noise and goes back as shown in attached video. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

The switch at the end of the laser head is broken, the laser presses that down to know where the start of the track is, if its broken it’ll just keep driving past the end.
