If it is still under warranty use the link provided

Nintendo Support

Fill out their form and be very descriptive when asked and they will repair it.

Alternatively you may choose to open the case and examine the damage - This is unadvisable as you warranty will be void and you could further damage the console

    Ok there are several things I want you to try:

    Put the Wii on standby - That is it has power but is not on and hit eject

    Unplug the Wii at the wall wait 10 or so seconds plug it back in and hit eject while in standby

    The last option involves some pulling apart but you warranty is void so if you are relatively confident this should be no issue.

    Unscrew the front panel of the case

    There should be a small hole near the drive in which your disk is stuck

    Get a paper clip and straighten it out and push this firmly into the hole

    Your disk should pop out.


    Now turn the Wii on insert the disk and test if it can be ejected normally

    Hope this helped

I have a brand new game stuck in my wii console how do i get it out

1.Make sure the WII is stood up properly.
2.Then switch on the WII
3.Now look near the eject button...

- Look at the right top bendy bit of the eject button put your nail through it and press it down it should eject.

- If still not ejected after several seconds holding, disconnect all the cable's in the WII leave it for a while (approx 5 Min) and plug it back in, switch on the WII, then press eject.

- If it does not come out look inside the drive and see if the disk can be physically pulled out now.

My Wii Console just started making a noise when it is trying to read the disk. You can hear it spinning up very loud. I then tried to eject the disk and it made a very loud noise and wouldn't eject the...

Maybe the disc reader in the Wii is having problems, this could be natural for the Wii, but if it isn't reading the disc, then try talking to the nintendo company and ask them that there is a loud noise in the Wii when its reading discs, they should know what to do. My Wii does that sometimes, especially Super Smash Brothers Brawl, but it still works though. hope that helps.

Stuck game wont eject

Try tilting the wii at several angles. The disc may come out. If not try hitting the eject button at several angles.
If all the above fails, this(although risky) may work.
1. find another disk.
2. slide into slot, just enough to get under the cd(NOT ALL THE WAY IN)
3. lift or puch down on the disk depending on the side the new disk is on
4. hit eject while lifting or puching.
5. If this does not work the system may need to be sent out

Wii wont take disc in

The drive sensor or the motor for pulling in the disk isn't working. Also, make sure there isn't a disk already in the wii by hitting the eject button. You'll need to send it in for repair if there is no game in it.

Noisy wii console

Hi Sky606, have you tried cleaning the game disk? Have you tried using other game disks in the wii to make sure it's not just one disk that is causing the problem. Do you have a Nintendo Wii CD / DVD Discs and Lens Auto Cleaning System ? If you don't you might want to purchase one and see if that helps, because your wii lens might need cleaning ! If all of that fails,your wii may need repairs, the lens that reads the CD/DVD could need adjustment or replacement ! One other small note,I always have a small external fan blowing on my wii when in use so that the wii wont over heat. Heat kills electronics ! I Hope this advice helps.

Wii help!

we got it to work eventually by using a pin (ie a dressmakers pin). We realised the eject button wasn't clicking when pushed down, so was physically stuck, so used pin to pop the left hand side of the eject button out/up. Works a treat now.
