So I got bored and decided to play Melee, I inserted the disc and guess what: Wii:''Insert disc". I pressed the eject button and the disc doesn't come out...
So is there a way to get it back out?
EDIT: How can I open my Wii to remove it manually, what size of screwdriver do I need?

BTW: I'm aware that this thread isn't directly related to Brawl-Hacking but it's stopping me from doing so (or playing Wii-Games AT ALL).

EDIT BUMP

There's a thread on smashboards that says "How to take apart your Wii". I'd give you the link, but I'm on my Wii. :/

Hmm, when you are on your PC/ Mac again, can you send me the link?


I've taken apart a wii to fix it...
but forcefully... so it's not the best method...
all I cared about was getting it open... (there was no warrenty on it)

you need a screwdriver for a 3 slotted screw
(the right pair of scissors and a good amount of strength works)
as well as a jewelers screwdriver (phillips)

the link would prbly be better though...

you have been through a lot of hassle. I've watched every topic you posted on this, and most of them seemed to disintegrate gradually.
But the coolest part was that you didn't stop working on it despite that.

you're doing more with your life right now than probably most other people around you. You're a valuable asset to the Smash community. So yeah, you should be proud.

That with the gravity. That would be awesome!

This is probably tried already (a few times), but could it work the same way with that Spear Pillar?

>_> <_< That would be Christmas.... but let me get the link by writing it on a piece of paper, right now.

This may not be the smartest idea but try using tweezers to get out the disk instead of opening your wii. Thats what I do when my SD gets stuck
