DVD will not eject-a grinding noise is heard

CD players have plastic gears. The gears can be stripped if someone has pushed the tray instead of using the open/close button. If you hear grinding noises, more than likely the player is shot. Sometimes pushing eject and tapping on the tray at the same time may pop it out. I don’t think a reset will work in your case but it’s worth a try.

press and hold the eject button. if it doesn't come out you have to take it apart.

On every CD/DVD/BluRay player there should be a VERY small pin-hole on the front of the actual tray(you may have to wipe any dust off the front in order to see the hole). If you stick a saftey pin in there you will release the lock on the tray and it will pop open. Now if the CD is really really jammed and the pinhole trick doesn't work you will have to take the drive apart to get the CD out.

I hope this helps! If not, please comment back and let us know!

Do you mean the CD tray won't stay closed? If so check the simple things first. The button that you push to open and close the tray is actually a lever that pushes a much smaller button below it. Make sure that your eject button is not stuck down for some reason. Check your cd tray and the bay to make sure nothing got inside that is preventing the cd tray from closing all the way. I believe if something gets in the way the tray will automatically re-open. You can also take some compressed air and blow out the cd tray to remove any debris that may be blocking the tray from closing.
If none of the above simple steps work I believe it boils down to 2 things. 1. An object inside the case or tray that is preventing it from closing all the way or... 2. The eject button is stuck down.
If your comfortable with it you can take apart your xbox case and remove your CD/DVD player and ensure the button works properly. You can do a search on this site or youtube for instructions on how to take the case apart if needed. Once the case is apart the CD/DVD player is easily removed. You will then notice that the switch you press on the outside of the Xbox to open and close the CD/DVD tray is actually a lever that presses a much smaller switch directly on the front of the CD/DVD unit. You can then test your eject switch directly by pressing the button directly with a ball point pen or a pin. If the bay does not open and close properly at this point it may be necessary to replace the CD/DVD player and I do not know if it can be replaced or not. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the world of gm delco radios. I am a used car dealer in Canada and I deal mostly in trucks and suv's. Honestly I'd say 75% of the radios in Gm's don't work properly, the loading mechanism gets jammed when you try to eject and "check CD" appears. Unfortunately it's not the CD, and to save yourself any further heartbreak, rip the player out and get yourself a good quality Kenwood or the likes.

Remove casing,thats the only way.

The player thiinks the CD is still in the player. you have a shorted or open sensor. Usually thee players have 3 phto sensors to tell the controller that a Disc is inserted , or ejected or present. Sometimes a wire or piece of lint covers a sensor and makes the controller think the CD is still there. Get you a can of Air from Radio Shack and blow out the DVD drive You might get lucky and this do the job.

If you are technically inclined you can take apart the entire unit and remove the cd player portion. Once you remove the drive itself you need can carefully take it apart and remove the sticker. But keep in mind you'll void the entire warranty if you do this and you'll pretty much be flying solo because there isn't a lot of documentation on the internet yet about working on the WII. My recommendation would be to take the system into hollywood video and demand to speak with a manager, explain to them the issue and if they don't assist you call their corporate office. The damage is their fault, they need to take care of it.
