    my nintendo wii started to be unable to read gmae discs. I was playing it one day and the next day I went to go play and the screen said that there was an error loading the disc. I tried all my game discs and none worked. Most of my games are brand new in perfect shape. If anyone can help, I would most appreciate it. Thanks

Here's a page on the official Nintendo site that might help.
----

"Unable to read the disc" / "Disc could not be read" If you are getting one of the above error messages:

  • Ensure that you are properly loading a Game Disc. my nintendo wii wont load discs?? - insertdisccorrect.gif
    • If your console is placed vertically, the disc label will face to the right.
    • If your console is placed horizontally, the disc label will face upwards


  • If you know you are inserting the Game Disc correctly, but are still have the same problem with only one game (or if you only have one game), try cleaning the Game Disc by following the disc cleaning procedures (click here).
  • If after reading the above information you are still unable to play a game disc, please call 1-800-255-3700 to discuss available options.

Is the game console in the horizontal position. If it is try putting it in the vertical position. My son's console stopped reading discs in the horizontal position, but plays them fine in the vertical. Go figure!

My discs wont load

You could find the manual on the internet by google. Im afraid that it's possible that it possibly broke the disc drive or the part of the drive that automatically loads and ejects the disc.

My son wii keeps ejecting the games every time he insert the game it spits it back out

Unfortunately this is a hardware problem, aka an issue with the Wii's inner components. In the disc loading tray there is a photo cell sensor that reads when a disc is present within the Wii. This sensor is most likely off center and giving false readings, therefore it is rejecting the discs you load into it. Another issue could be that the disc loader's ribbon cable is loose/not correctly attached to the rest of the Wii.

You will have to get the Wii fixed by Nintendo or you will need to buy a new Wii system. Hopefully you still have a Nintendo warranty for the system. Registering your Wii system on club.nintendo.com can add an additional 90 days to your Wii's warranty.
