GameCube disk not spinning /sticky “open” button

The consoles “turns on” and I checked that at the store, from my knowledge the disk “doesn’t spin” the tray and lens was very dirty. I am going to be purchasing the cord and controllers to test. (Since I haven’t owned one before) but my main issue here is that the “open” button gets stuck and I have to pry it out with fingernail to close it. Any sort of easy repair?

No "easy" way. It really needs to be opened and the button mechanism removed and cleaned. It's not terribly difficult either though. However you will need a special screw driver. Most people call them "Game Bit" drivers. It is needed to open the console. Once open you just need a regular philips for the button mechanism. There's probably youtube videos showing the process.
