[Wii] Console works until disc is put in

I recently acquired a Wii used and I've been having issues with getting it to work properly. It will boot to the home screen with no issues, but when a disc is inserted the console, itself stops working. It won't read the disc and if I'm in the disc channel or the home menu it says "An Error Has Occurred" after around 10 seconds. I assume this is a disc drive issue but wanted to know if there is a way around it.
