The Wii console is only compatible with Wii and GameCube discs. It
is not compatible with DVDs or discs made for other home consoles.
Verify that the disc you are inserting is compatible with the Wii
system.
An error message may display if the disc is ejected during play. Return to the HOME Menu before changing discs.
Verify that the console is placed correctly.
If the Wii console is lying flat, the game disc slot should be above all three buttons and the SD Card slot.
If the Wii console is standing vertically, the power button
should be on the top and the console should be in the stand. Note: Only
Wii consoles with model number RVL-001 are intended to be placed
vertically.
Verify that the disc is being inserted properly.
If the console is placed horizontally, the disc label will face upwards.
If the console is placed vertically, the disc label will face to the right.
Check the non-printed side of the game disc for dirt or severe damage (such as scratches or cracks).
If the disc is dirty, try cleaning the game disc.
To clean disc:
Dampen a clean, soft, cotton cloth with water.
Use straight strokes and wipe the disc (non-labeled side) from the inside rim to the outside rim.
Using a dry part of the cloth, repeat step 2 to dry the disc.
After all of the water is gone, let the disc sit for at least
two minutes to completely dry before inserting it into the Wii console.
If the disc is damaged or scratched, it will need to be replaced or you can possibly taken it to a game store or movie store to get it resurfaced (buffed)
You will need to open it and mess around with the disc drive. You can remove the wii shell and still play on it so I suggest you remove the shell then try inserting a disc and you will see exactly which parts are stopping you. I've got a feeling its the little white piece that goes ontop of a disc as its put in sometimes they will fall out of place simple fix.
If it's happening with multiple discs you can try to clean the laser with a disc cleaner, but if it keeps happening I would just get the system modded. You can load games straight from a hard drive. The best place to get your wii modded is www.wiihdmods.com
There's either something jammed inside of the Wii's DVD Drive, or a part on the inside of the DVD drive is broken. All drives have a sensor on the inside to let it know that a disc is fully loaded and seated. If the sensor isn't engaged within a few seconds, it will spit the disc back out.
You can find a new DVD drive at the following website:
I've found that this is usually caused by a problem with the small plastic gears that operate the loading mechanism. Sometimes they break, need to be realigned, or get stuck.
If one or more of them have a problem then the loading mechanism never allows the disc to drop onto the motor to spin. Then the Wii realizes that the disc did not load properly and kicks it back out.
But the only way to see is to take the Wii's cover off.
