OK, I have a cube, and have not had this problem. However, I have taken apart an CD-ROM drive before, make that a PS1, and so I have a pretty darn good idea what's gone wrong. Nothing's loose, but you still heard clicking and grinding noises, which is usually the sound of a stripped gear or something else seriously wrong with the gearing of moving parts. Might have been due to the quality of the manufactured part, or something along that line.
Considering how fast the motor has to switch directions in order to do what the GC does, this is not surprising. Not at all. I'm surprised it hasn't happened to mine yet considering how much I've played Metroid Prime.
