Basically, I came home the other day to find what looked like a single disk stuck in the wii. My 2 year old evidently forced a couple of games into it. I ended up using some pliers to pull the first disk out only to find 2 more disks jammed into it. I pulled all 3 out and the main menu still loads just can't load a game into now. It would appear the loading mechanism is broken now. Anyone have any experience trying to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Call nintendo.
If you try and fix it yourself, you're liable to brick it.

Sorry I don't know how. I wish I could help you, and you should call Nintendo about the problem.

If its under warranty then call Nintendo to get them to fix it. Don't mention anything about the little 'un putting in3 disks, just say that it stopped loading games and you have no idea why

find out if nintendo covers it, and if they do (which they probably will), then send it back and have it fixed. and next time, keep your console a bit more elevated, ok?

I don't think they'd mind him telling them that. I figure as long as it's under warranty they'll fix and understand what happened.

When I had my Xbox, about three weeks after Xbox Live came out, my dog got hold of my Mic and shred it to pieces. Well, at that time, there was no stand-alone mic to buy. You could only get it from the starter kit. I called of MS support and told them about what had happened and see if there was a way I could purchase a mic from them. They gave it to me for free.

I've also had them fix my Xbox after it was out of warranty for free... Go figure.

I assume Ninty's support would be about the same.

Thanks guys. It should be under warranty still. I bought it last November. I'll give them a call.
