    Ok, to start the story:
    I was playing Luigi's Mansion on my Wii.

    I wanted to play an other game. Turned off Wii, tried to eject the disc.

    Didn't work! My Wii was doing like it needed much power to eject the disc.

    After alot of resetting and waiting, I can see a little bit of the disc. Really a LITTLE bit.

    When resetting it also does like it inputs a disc, then tries to output it.

    Now, anyone knows how to solve this? I tried opening it but...I have no idea how.

    Once I got something stuck in the disk drive... Could that be the problem?

    ...I suspect the drive is stuffed from whatever you've been doing, and I do know you to have many problems with your gear.

    I did only insert discs lol, no paper and stuff.

    @hYpNoS: Can a disc drive be stuffed from discs? WTF

    They go out eventually. This may be what happened to your disc drive.

    ACE

    I'm happy to see you.

    Must I let someone replace my drive or must I get a new Wii (DON'T TELL ME THAT I NEED A NEW WII)

    You can get a new drive, but try to get an older one as the newer ones can't read DVD-Rs.

    My dad solved this by getting the disc out with a tool.

    Can this be locked please?

    I would still be on the look out for a replacement drive.

    If it continues to persist then that would be the only option unless you wanna drop $200 on a new Wii...

    define fix. I have it in mind that he extracted the disc with either tweezers or something similar?

    Maybe the disc was laying eggs in your Wii drive.

    Yeah I think.

    Every disc works fine now again (except my broken REAL Wii discs (all are broken, thank god I installed USB loaders before it happened)), even the Luigi's Mansion disc.

    Good!
    USB Loading is the greatest thing ever to be invented!

    Yeah :p

    Except my Wii is slow...IDK why.

    I guess because it had no power for about two days.

    I can't wait for GameCube USB loading!
    Though...

    There is already GC game loading. It's for the WODE, but it costs $100+.

    I know but I already have a modchip.........
    Plus I just got a new computer of €500,- and my dad isn't gonna pay €100 again.

    PLUS I don't have my Wii standing. Not enough room.
