How do you fix error message and noise?

I have taken this wii apart 3 times now and am still unable to troubleshoot this problem. The menu and stuff will work but when you put a disk in, it will start spinning, but when it tries to read it, it makes a noise that repeats. The best way I can explain the noise is "cli-chunk cli-chunk cli-chunk" (I have looked on YouTube but find only grinding noises from bent metal, I also tried cleaning the lens twice with no success and it was not dirty inside showing it wasn't used much before it broke). After about 20-25 repetitions of the cli-chunk sound it says "An error has occurred. Press the Eject Button and remove the disc, then turn the Wii console off and refer to the Wii Operations Manual for help troubleshooting" I am thinking it might be a motor for the disc drive lens based on the noise, but I don't know how to see what it is doing when it is running if i don't have a clear disc to put in.

Any further explanation for this fix would be appreciated! I have the same problem. Is the tech saying to open the optical drive?
