DVD is stuck in Drive; Best procedure to remove? Hey Everyone, Relatively new to the scene and have ran into a few issues. I would like to know if anyone here in the hardware department has ever had an issue where they were playing a video game and after a certain amount of time, or after a power down, you are no longer able to get the Wii Game out of the drive? I have tried the normal, pressing Eject multiple times, waiting a few seconds and holding it down, have tried powering the device down for 10-15 min and trying again, I even tried turning it facing down to see if it would slide down. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, so if necessary I will take apart the hardware to get the DVD out, however I would like to know the following: 1. Is there an easier way that I just have not tried yet? 2. If not, whats the proper procedure for manually accessing the drive to remove the DVD?

You are not alone :). Many people have the same problem. A good idea would be using eject dvd as chris pointed out. In case everything fails, check out this forum thread . It might help you.

This thread is almost two years old. Please don't bump old topics like this, thanks.]]> SifJar HardwareSat, 29 Dec 2012 13:46:21 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?7,64700,72179#msg-72179 Re: DVD is stuck in Drive; Best procedure to remove?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?7,64700,72179#msg-72179this forum thread .
