I just had a recent problem with my Wii and would like some help in fixing it. Now my Wii is a near launch Wii and I had no problems with it (except for the usual glitch) until recently. I was playing MG 2 when I get a message saying to eject the game, turn the power off, and consult the manual. This has happened several times when I was playing and it also happened when I tried MG and PunchOut. It also hasn't been cleaned since I had it and some help is much appreciated.

PS I haven't contacted Nintendo just yet and it happened before I updated to the new 4.3 and it still persists.

That is what I intend to do tomorrow and it seems to still work for the GC games, but I did play them long enough to test to see if it's not a disk drive problem.

my wii was doing this exact same thing. my drive was also noisy. It started slow and random and about a week and a half later it would no longer play anything. The drive was shot. WIth nintendo, in the US, it's $10 shipping + $75 to fix or repair your wii. you would then get a new one year warranty. I bought a replacement drive for $50 and put it in myself, but note that this also requires a special tri wing screwdriver and ideally some experience at building computers.

The only game that makes my drive extremely noisey is MySims, but I haven't played it in years. I'll try cleaning it first before I fill out the repair form. Question to those you are now reading this post: Do Nintendo send you something to send it in? I've read that they send you some sort of return address but the FAQ they have is still unclear to me.

mine started out only noisy once in a while, to noisy on the wii menu if a disk was in the drive, it was loud. it took about 8 months for the noise to get out of control. as for the label you can 1.) have them email it to you 2.) have them mail it to you 3.) have it shipped yourself, which then knocks $10 off of the fee. they pay return shipping, so the $10 you pay is for the shipping to them.

A similar thing happened to my friends Wii. He said it in a weird way though. He said; ''It crapped itself'' He was saying that there was a heap load of noise coming and It didn't read disks.
