A Wii Game Is Stuck in the Wii Player

The Nintendo Wii does not use a traditional disk tray as other video game consoles such as the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 do. Instead, the Wii draws the game into its internal disk drive. On rare occasions, the game may become lodged in the disk drive. This may be an easy fix that can be remedied in a few simple steps, but if not you may need to send your console for professional repair.

Instructions

- 1
  Power off the Wii and let it sit for about 30 seconds. Turn the Wii back on and try pressing the "Eject" button again. If this doesn't work, move on to Step 2.
- 2
  Power off the Wii and unplug its power cord, then let it sit for about five minutes so the system resets. Plug the Wii back in, power it on and try pressing the "Eject" button again. If this still doesn't work, move on to Step 3.
- 3
  Hold down the "Eject" button for several seconds at a time. Or try repeatedly pressing it until the game pops out. This will ensure that the button/ejection mechanism is really broken. If the game still doesn't pop out, move on to Step 4.
- 4
  Press the "Reset" button on the Wii console then press the "Eject" button. If this does not work, then move on to Step 5.
- 5
  Hold the Wii down at an angle and press the "Eject" button again in the hopes that gravity will help eject the disc. Hold out your free hand to catch the disc if it happens to pop out. If this does not work, move on to Step 6.

  Call Nintendo and request a repair order (see Resources). You may be able to send your Nintendo Wii to the company, and it will be professionally serviced for a fee.
