How to Get a Disk Stuck in a Wii Out

The Nintendo Wii video game console does not have a disc tray to insert games into. Instead, it requires you to insert the disc into a thin slot, which then automatically loads the disc. With devices with disc trays, there is typically a small button you can press with a paper clip to force the tray to open if a disc gets stuck, but getting a disc that is stuck inside the Nintendo Wii requires a bit more creativity.

Things You'll Need

Tweezers

Instructions

- 1
  Press and hold the eject button down for five seconds. Sometimes simply pressing it doesn't work.
- 2
  Turn the Wii upside down so the disc slot is facing the floor.
- 3
  Press down on the two small metal guards just inside the disc slot on the Wii. These are originally there to hold the disc in place, but need to be manually triggered.
- 4
  Use a third set of tweezers, preferably flat as opposed to sharp, to gently grab and pull the disc out. Be careful as you can risk scratching the disc using this step.
