This was an EXCELLENT video. You move quickly, you speak quickly, and you think quickly, and you omitted the gratuitous background music. This is a model for how a how-to video should be made. Thanks very much for this.

Three yrs later and your video is still helping folks. First gen Wii's have gotten pretty pricey stateside with the slow death of many of these GameCubes. Picked one up for $30 that wouldn't eject. Was hoping for a game in there but it turned out to be a lens cleaner disc. Underneath that a kiddo had shoved in a receipt and it had completely wrapped itself around the laser. Got that out and it works like magic! Thank you my friend for making my kids very happy and for making me a hero-dad once again. 💪🤓🙌

Just what I needed. Two years after we stopped using the Wii, we can play again. Three discs were jammed in it, including one PS2... Go figure. Thank you so much.

6:28 someone who was thinking "I could just deposit money into the wii disk hole for wii points"

Thank you! I successfully removed a jammed disc thanks to your help. Nothing else was in the disc drive an old, worn-out machine which had already been replaced, so it was fun taking this one apart without having to worry about damaging it. Haha

I leave your vid up in my tabs, and I load my pages every so often, so that beginning cracks me up a few times a week. Good stuff haha

Love the Hanna Montana drip on the Wii!

Hi - thanks very much for the video. My 2 year old put an extra 2 (!) DVD’s in the wii and 3 just didn’t seem to work. So, followed your instructions up to getting the front case off, then simply used tweezers to pull the 2 extra dvds out. And the wii is back working now. Really appreciated and don’t have to buy another wii now! Thanks.

Super helpful - our Wii lives again! Thank you!

Thank you! My husband and I used this video to take apart our new used wii last night and found a dora the explorer DS game 🙄 This fixed it!

This helped me out so much. My 5 year old stuck a playing card in my 17 year olds wii that she's had forever and a day and was still in great condition. Now though I ended up with one screw left over while putting it back together lol. But I plugged it up and it works great again! Thank you so much for this video!!

These little systems are real troopers.

Thanks for the info! My Wii won’t take a disc. It takes it it for a second gives a rattle then spits it out. Any advice on where to start

Didnt need the help but now I know how to fix a jammed disc

[TrainsFun]

Finally got the right tools to open up our wii. Found 2 copies of beauty and the beast dvd, 1 wiggles dvd and wii arcade zones. Kids will shove whatever they can fit.

Thanks for the video. Found a Wii at a yard sale for $5 and it had 7 poker chips shoved in it, and was able to get it fully working a again

[nursecourtney]

Followed your advice and 20 minutes later I have successfully dislodged 4 games and my wii still works!!!

[MrMaiio]

Thanks man! Great video. I wish all how-to's were like this

"This will be my fourth wee."

Yes, I am the same, don't worry, it's an age thing.

I did everything in the video, the wii is ejecting again. But once I put a disk in, I can hear it trying to spin but it won’t. why?
