Had the Nintendo wii problem about the disk being stuck in the
console. Rang nintendo service line for help, they were very helpful
and would have had to send back to them. Read about disk being put
into the DVD player, went to check the player and wouldn't you know it
there it was! Spent over three hours trying to solve this problem, oh
well but what a laugh. My daughter is now very careful about putting the disk into the wii.

I managed to eject a WII disc out manually very easily:
- Disconnect the drive
- You see the white plastic mechanism on your right side and the wheel connected to the motor
- turn the wheel towards the back side of the drive while pushing the half inch square plastic piece towards the left.
You will see the disc coming out while you are turning the wheel.

In a week, 2 wii games got stuck but manage to get them out.......
my solution.....1. eject button press as many time as you want quickly as possible....if nothing happens.....2. turn off the wii console unplug it and wait for an hour or so...3.then turn it back on and again to step 1 and pray it the disk comes out....
personal note: i think this problem is connected to modded wii console....so every time i want to play a game i usually put an original disk first....play it for a few minutes then change to play a backup disk....no more disk jamming in the wii....for now.....
cheer........

My Wii fell and it still worked, but couldn't read the disk inside, and we couldn't get it out either, no sound at all from the cd mechanism. The store will exchange it for a new one, but I wanted my game back, as they are not really cheap. What I did to get the CD out: I opened the slot a little to be able to see the CD inside, then, on the side of the console buttons, I inserted a flat butter knife between in the underside of the CD just enough to lift it a little, then I slipped another CD (a blank CD will do just fine) in place of knife, and pushed it in almost all the way in, this seems to have released the game CD, and then I pulled the second CD out, and it dragged the game out. I guess that using tweezers would have worked as well to pull the CD out.
Hope this helps someone.

The device that grabs the game is broken. I am sure there is a way to fix this but right now I am not sure, but this happened to me and my Wii and all I did was tip the Wii face down so that the opening was downward and I hit eject. When you want to load another game you are going to have to push the game in with another disk.

My console is having the same problem. I solved it but hitting the eject button. And while the console is making that buzz sound like it's trying to eject the game disc, I gentle insert another game disc as if I'm trying to load it. Some how the edge of the game disc gave the other disc inside a little nudge and the console was able to eject the game disc.
The is not a perfect solution because I no have trouble loading a game disc. Sometime the console would grab the game disc but only pull it in halfway. I have to give it a gentle nudge at just the right time to have the console accept the game disc. I think it's time for me to call Nintendo customer service.

I have the same problem with my new Wii, loaded the sports CD and play's fine and when i went to load another game. no response from the eject button. so stuck with wii sport i thought until a replacement is in stock....
BUT... frustration wins the day.
i hit the eject button fast " and i mean fast for about 50 times " and hey presto the CD ejected!!!!
it seems that the command for eject is not getting to the system and by doing this it manages to see the command at some stage.
Wii still going back for a replacment but at least i can load other games.
hope this helps

Hi all,
I had the same problem. And sometimes I continue to have that. (Meanwhile I have a d2c chip inside.)
In my case solution was to unplug machine before I go to sleep, and in the morning keep console horizontally (so that I use gravity in order to pull cd) and click on eject. I turn on machine with clicking on eject. If it fails, just unplug and plug again and re-try. I hope it works for you as well..

My niece called me to help her with the Wii, the CD was stuck in the drive and would not eject. She called me a while later to tell me the problem is solved. She had put the CD in her DVD player not the Wii. ROFL ... had to share! MAKE SURE YOU HAVEN'T PLACED THE CD IN YOUR DVD PLAYER.

The actual eject button on the Wii is floating over the micro switch. Push the button down hard and hold it down for about 1 or 2 seconds.
If you don't feel it "CLICK" it's not pushing the switch behind it.
Also, trying to eject it with the power connected but the console in 'off' mode seems to help sometimes too.

You can add my family to the "Nintendo doesn't work" list. Console won't accept or reject CD's. Makes loud "nonstandard" noises when trying to accept the CD. CD only goes partially into the slot... sometimes. Have manually pushed the CD into the slot several times with no luck. Had to manually eject the CD after pushing the eject button by using"gravity" and some bumping with my hand. The rest of the console electronics seemed to be working fine. Seems Nintendo definitely has a quality control problem! Guess our Christmas memories of Nintendo will be somewhat different than planned! Very disappointed.

I have managed to fix an error similar to this, but it may not work for everyone. My 5 year old stick 2 gamecube discs into her old sister's Wii. Neither of them would eject.
I removed the 4 scrws that attach the from cover so that I could see into the drive ... (this may void your warranty) i could see and hear the drive trying to eject. I could also see the discs not seated correctly.
I took a DVD i didn't care about and used it ot stimulate the load and eject function while using a small screw driver to press the eject button. These actions combined with mving the whole machine to different orrientations to help the discs move inside the machine, eventually resulted in first 1 disc being ejected and then the second one a moment later.
I tested the machine with a good game and it operated fine.
Good luck ... hope this helps.

When you hear hoofbeats - think horses not zebras!
An eyeglass screw driver, when inserted into the Wii with a slight lift under the disk will free up the CD. My 2 year-old ensured that I master this method. On occassion a tweezers will help pull it forward until you can get your fingers on it. As long as you stay on the edge and lift lightly, the disk comes right out.
P.S. The Wii can fit 5 discs comfortably.

My darling daughters dropped our wii months ago. Something inside to do with the eject button must have gone astray. We couldn't get the current disk out (guitar hero) but could play that game, so for the last four months the only game we have been able to play is guitar hero. Being school holidays I was fed up with it not working so I have just spent the last hour determined to work out what the problem was.
The eject button wasn't working at all so after much picking and probing I was able to remove the eject button, then press a bobby pin inside the little hole where the eject button was and TADAAAAA the guitar hero disk ejected and we can now play other games!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHH so looking forward to playing them over the weekend.

Okay, I just finished resolving my disk not ejecting issue. It had nothing to do with pressing the reset or eject button repeatidly. The problem was the thin 4 wire disk sensor ribbon cable was not fully seated to the drive. After I connected it fully, both Wii and GameCube disks insert and eject with no problems. I would say, check all you connections before contacting Nintendo.

A good way to get it out, keep pushing the eject button for about 30 seconds. then put it down for about 5 or 10 minutes on its ront so gravity pulls it down a little. Then take it press eject and shake it up and down so it falls out. Hope this helps . : )

if you have a cd in the console then open op the console and open the cd tray and remove the cd and close the conesole up. send it for repair or w.e u want to do with it.
if you wanna try to fix it. and the tray wont open either 1 the tray is broken or a clog is broken or the tray is off track.
if the tray is off try then open it up and put it back on track, plug the power supply in and hit the power botton see if it opens then close it up if it does open and close.
worse comes to worse, go to google or ebay buy a new disc tray or dvd drive to the console and install it and it will correct the issue becuase it will be a all new drive. make sure you get the correct model drive/laser/tray. w.e u buy

I just had a similar problem, but less satisfaction in the end. I bought the Wii in October as an xmas gift for my kids, so only brought it out on the 25/12/07. The console was put in a glass cabinet next to the tv so that the kids dont touch it, they just had the controllers. After a few days the missus and I were having a turn, and all was well. I went to change disc's, the first ejected fine, second disc failed to read, and on inspection we could still see a bit of the disc sticking out. It autoejects and tries to reload but failed continually. We returned the console under warranty only to recieve the inebitable call from Nintendo saying that there has been a "Foreign object inserted" and thus we have to pay for repair.
I guess I have to get it fixed, but I will be demanding this "Foreign Object". At the moment, I feel I have been ripped. I'll try to put up a second post letting ya's know the outcome.

I recently got my wii modified and after i got it back i put in a original guitar hero 3 disk in, before i even got the chance to play, i got an error message and the disk won't read. I can't eject the disk. When i restart my wii and get back to the main menu it tells me to insert a disk when theres already one inside! I tried all the things listed here to get the disk out (other than take it apart) but it still doesn't work. I was wondering would part of the problem of it not ejecting be the fact that i got it modified?

well i waited an hour plugged the thing in, no dice in terms of getting the drive to eject. i pressed the button quick, i turned it on and off, right side up, upside down, laying flat... anyone having problems with this make sure you set the region right on the wasabi v3 by soldering 1 to 1 for usa. usa standard of power? looking at dumps of this damn thing has me thinking region is emulated. it refuses to accept new programming altogether and dumps info on host server, good thing i have my own. maybe the only way to get a wasabi v3 d2e to eject (done properly) is to solder the flash recovery point? i think fix is 2 things, having region set to usa and flash recovery point soldered, NOT a condensed loop of solder sophisticated boredom. i suspect the point to solder to, leading from the flash recovery point, is also on the wasabi v3 chip, the point above.(J to just of right and on top C, bottom point=wasabi light:green VS same point right of C just mentioned, bottom touched to same point right of C, top=wasabi light:yellow with 15 minute kill// i suspect that is fully operational once the yellow has been on at all, meaning you can completely unsolder the two points after yellow light is on and it will still have flash recovery VS fixed limit kill for having J to C lower point after yellow. yellow 15 min kill does nothing, J to C lower after yellow 1500 fixed hours, including some advanced resolutions for power, do carefully and thoroughly take off any solder to J point in any case, i think missing gold is ok)(usa setting is important because those are 1500 pretty solid hours vs *** power standard, i thought they hate the usa?) i will find the canadian dsuckers who are responsible for sabotaging the wasabi.net.cn website and kick them squaw in the nuts. new hosting with actual schematics including clock point and obvious location of flash recovery point and so on so forth, mention of the risks is suggested. canadians are also responsible for deleting the fkn layout for the pdf, which is the reason why the pdf hasn't been released. if the chinese involved in the contract with the website tied into the production of the chip hired the canadians, then the chinese buying wasabi is void? took me 2 fkn seconds. :)

wasabi v3 soldered on d2e 3.3U firmware, 2032 is out.
its not a blown fuse, do not recommend i bypass the fuse.
doesn't eject, dont know if it sucks, probably doesn't, but i'm thinking it plays, one fuse, one motor, and it plays? must not be a blown fuse.
initially the disc channel said smash with smash disc. gave me error plz eject and restart. now disc channel says no disc doesn't spin doesn't read, disc is in there, smash. had it on for about half an hour and hasn't turned off like it had when i had first turned it on after installing. details on that are, i think, wasabi defaulted to restart on error msg for no reason(the please eject the dvd and restart error). all i need to know is could i manually get the cd out without damaging the drive or the drives ability to **** the dvds back in. is connected to the internet, inet chan shows black and i haven't waited to find out what happens if you leave it. haven't tried to update the firmware and wont. all i need to do is get this damn 1.4 dvd in there and then i'm set. i am now planning to drive to coffee shop while ac adapter is connected to wii but not to wall to wait for an hour. im thinking it is rigged like a chinaman's fkn gold vault in that there are tricks from the ac adapter to the wii not from the wall that would the damn thing would wait an hour and set a random time under an hour to make the drive continue to be non-operational. all these ppl could really waste time and hurt themselves by fkn condensing solder into a pretty loop. rio wii owns all you flickering green bastards. any mofo has a mini mouse with a credit card holder on top or next to flickering green, it is what it is, a played out chiche skank punk ***** committing bank fraud.

We were so bummed that thought we were able to insert 2 discs and only one came out. We tried all the "tricks" posted here and to no avail. I laughed at the morons who mistakenly loaded a disc into their DVD player instead of the Wii...well, my husband is now the President of that club.

I had 2 Gamecube disk struck in my WII. 1st disk was stuck, then I put in a 2nd [trying to get out the first] and both were stuck . . . tried everything, read e-mail's - nothing worked. Call Nintendo and was going to send back . . . after I printed labels, got box to send . . . I decided to try 1 more time . .. plugged in, turned it on, held it so the disk opening faced floor, pressed eject, shooked it a little, and viola . . . IT WORKED - the disk came out . . . so I don't have to send away to Nintendo on the first week of Summer . . . my son is very happy [as am I] YEAH!!

Our Wii started having trouble ejecting after one of our kids knocked it over. The games play fine, but it takes several tries to get the eject to work. I turn the power off and on sometimes. Both times it has finally come out when I am holding the console horizontally (but not everytime I do that).

Comment by mikeyjenny20, posted on Apr 30, 2008
Recently I have had the same problem with my son's Wii. All that he told me is that he tried to eject the disk that was already in there so that he could put in another. The Wii just made this horrible clicking sound. Thankfully for my kids and my wallet, I have an extensive background in electronics. Right after I pressed the eject button and it started clicking, I inserted 2 steak knifes in the disk slot, one on top and one on bottom. I created a set of tweezers if you wish and pinched the disk on the back. I was able to remove, not 1, but 2 disks. After that I laughed and tried to insert a disc. Still was doing the same thing but with a different tone. I did the same thing and removed 2 more disks. This worked for me and now, the Wii is up on a shelf so my 2 year old cannot get to it.

just bought a wii for my sons' birthday...same issue - didn't even load the first game -
spouse on the way back to the store - hoping they have one left.
I think it's ridiculous that the demand still so far outweighs the supply. First I had to act like a mad crazy consumer and meet the truck at the dock -
this after multiple phone calls to different stores.
then.. get the thing home and doesn't work -
poo.
if they don't have another left I suppose I'll do the 4 day turnaround for a remanufactured one - it's just such a bummer. My son was super disappointed. Anyhow, we'll just wait and see.

FOURTH Wii in a week disc error!!!!! Seems to be a BIG quality control issue. Bought my Wii 6 days ago and can't fault the customer service from the store - thankfully don't have to phone 1-800. First Wii wouldn't read half the discs. The store had actually brought two along and the second had similar problems. As the store was installing they took them both straight back and returned with a new one the next day (having checked it first in their shop). Third Wii worked fine for two days then wouldn't eject disc - then died totally blank screen. Fourth Wii lasted 2 hours disc read error and won't eject. Fifth Wii due to arrive Monday 7 days after we bought the first. Is this a Wiirld record?
First time I have seen this column, tried nearly all remedies offered but none have worked. I can sense a class action in the offing at this rate, though didn't buy mine in the US it is an Americas version.

yeah, i tried to eject my CD one day and it wouldn't come out. when i go to the disc channel, the wii can't read the disc. i called nintendo and they told me to give them my wii and they would give me a new one but i'm worried that they'll find my mod chip and take it out.

Just for the record... mine too. makes awful noise when trying to insert or eject. I initially wasn't sure if there might be a problem with the first disk so I tried another. Now second disk is stuck in the console. Would be nice if there was at least a manual way to remove the disk (short of jamming foreign objects in the slot). Seems like a pretty wide spread problem, judging by this board anyway. Very disappointing after the difficulty in acquiring the system, that it does not work. Should have bought a PS3...

Same problem...brand new Wii in nice sealed box with no signs of any damage and disk won't insert - all 5 of the new disks purchased for Christmas for the kids - they have been good about it, but I am sure upset. Must be a whole batch of bad items. Pretty disappointing in that there is no easy way to get it fixed or get a replacement. Can't get through to support line obviously - they won't even put you on hold when you do get through. Nintendo has been a great quality product in our past experience, but not impressed right now!
Comment by MadmomCDN, posted on Dec 28, 2007
just wanted to update others on the remarkable experience I had with Nintendo customer service...started calling at 8am boxing day (as per the msg) on the 1-800 #...got msg telling me extremely busy to call back later...well after almost 48 hours of regularly calling and trying to get through - I finally got through, sat on hold for 20 minutes...a "real" "live" person answered and asked me if I could "hold", as she was placing me on hold again - i heard her say "what the HeLL?"...she came back online to tell me that everyone had left, there was no one there that could help me and to call back tomorrow....What wonderful customer service, there is absolutely nothing we can do to take back the sheer disappointment we (our children) (Can't tell them Santa will fix it...cause they think that wont be till next year HAHA) suffered Christmas Day...and I can't even get through to anyone to have the problem looked at - I tried some of the suggestions listed here...but none seemed to work, I hope some of you are having more success than we are and hope you all have a good New Year's - MAYBE we will get through to Nintendo reps before then...(and the New Year's Baby/Stork can drop by for Santa to fulfill the wishes of all our disappointed children) I think we should all band together and request not only a replacement system, shipped UPS or other courier service and FREE OF CHARGE, afterall, if any of you are like me, the systems you bought were not cheap!!! but also we should be requesting "complimentary software, or Nintendo coupons" to compensate us for our disappointing and irreplacable, irreverisble Christmas 2007 memories - What do you think?

The Wii took the disk but the game doesn't come up and the eject button will not eject the disk which is now stuck in the machine.
Comment by Guest, posted on Dec 26, 2007
I have spent the past 24 hours trying to troubleshoot this problem with zero success. The 800 number provided in the operators manual for support has been absolutely no help...an automated recording tells you that they are "busy" and you should call back later. Extremely disappointed in Nintendo's quality control and customer service...having spent top dollar on this item, I would expect a more responsive more support system. Compensation of some sort would be appropriate, although the damage done to my daughter's Christmas is irreversible...

Add my family to the list. Console won't accept the CDs and makes loud "nonstandard" noises when I attempt to insert a disk. Seems Nintendo definitely has a quality control problem. Our Christmas memories of Nintendo are not the happy ones we were anticipating!

I also bought a shiny white paper weight which is sitting next to our TV - loaded the disk, not read, could not eject - finally got it out with some tweezers - now two kids totally bummed out ( along with a couple of adults) I bought this over a month ago - I'm not happy at all.

Have the same problem as well. Have 2 very disappointed sons that Santa brought them a game that doesn't work. Have Madden '08 disc stuck in the Wii. Won't play and won't eject. Incredibly annoyed Dad has tried to get the disc to eject. Haven't tried some of the suggestions here yet, but worried about breaking it more and voiding warranty. Will be calling support tomorrow to see what they suggest.

I just got my wii out of the box and couldnt get the disk in without what would seem to be a little more than usual amount of push. however, whilst the motor would make trying to do stuff noises, the system wouldnt recognise that it had a disk and the disk would not eject.
Everything else seems to be working fine on my games system, I just can't actually play any games on it!!! My husband did get the disk out by pushing another disk part-way in above the games disk, forcing it down enough so that when he hit eject, the mechanism could spit the disk out but it still wont feed in properly and we aren't going to risk getting it stuck again.
grr - barhumbug :-( packing the little fella back away and looking for that pesky receipt! any other suggestions?

WII DISK WILL NOT GO IN
Comment by sahallie, posted on Dec 25, 2007
Merry Christmas!! Wii Fixed... Disk will not go all the way or come out. Made strange buzz/grinding sound. Kids crying...
Followed previous users advice. Forced disk all the way in (carefully) with a small screwdriver. Beat the disk out by rapping unit upside down to get the disk out. Removed power cord to force hard reboot. Put disk in backwards. It mysteriously started working. (would not read disk but this was an improvement). Put disk right side in and kids have not stopped playing. Only thing I can figure is that the mechanism was stuck?
For those in with the same problem, I feel your pain. I wish you the best.
