well mine was still under warranty so no, but it took about 3 weeks all together to get it back
but i would leave my wii on overnight with a game running which is why my laser stopped working
no worries man we have practice every wednesday and friday 5pm easterntime
also give me ur ally code so every1 can add you
and good luck with your wii, mine did that once stopped reading disks
i had to send mine in for repairs
