uhh... the smart thing to do is to unplug it from the outlet. and maybe tats ur solution right there. if it doesnt work, reformat ur wii, or if that doesnt work dont use the wii for like a week and let it rest, it might be over heated.

I doubt it will, and changing your rumble settings wouldn't do too much either.
It's probably the DVD reader in the Wii, so maybe if you put soft foam or a cushion or something underneath it and see if that helps

Id send it back for a replacement.. They are not meant to do that in any way. Reformating has nothing to do with what the hardware is doing, and Overheating doesnt cause that problem either.
My Theory: Something could be stuck in your fan or your fan is damaged, Similar to what a computer sounds/acts like when fan problems occur?

The Wii can't play DVD's...yet. As for the vibration, it's a common problem. Your probably playing it too much causing it to overheat, when it overheats the exaust fan works overtime trying to keep the system cool. Make sure nothing is close against the Wii's backside as well, the exaust fan needs a place to blow freely.
If your still having problems it's another problem. Someone could have dropped your Wii on the ground and something could have came loose.
