I've had SMG in for the last week, and last night I hit eject, and my wii made this horrid grinding noise and the disc barely came out. When I went to put in another disc, there was the same grinding noise, but it wouldn't grab the disc to pull it in. Any ideas? I suspect I melted something since I left my wii on 24/7 for the last week.

Sounds to me like a gear in the door mechanism lost a tooth or two. You would have to have Nintendo fix it.

If you're lucky it might not be a broken tooth.

This happened to my wii after my son tried to put two discs into the Wii.

Once I got it apart and took the top metal cover off the drive there's a long roller across the front of the drive that had come out of it's seating - I just needed to give it a push down and it clicked back into place - everythings been fine since.

Sounds like what happened. I took the top off at lunch and none of the gears seem to be messed up. I see a piece of metal along the front that comes down to hold the disc is place, but I don't really see anything that looks like it cam off the track. Can you give me a little more of a description on what it looks like?

Oops,
Looks like one of the gears had a tooth that was bent. Got it working with my ugly, manual load mod, but then I somehow fried the on switch while turning it on with a metal screw driver. Anyone know a good that will fix noob f'ups? Wither that or a place that sells premodded wiis?

    guys, this sounds unhinged, but someone (i forgot who) saying they'd want to make their left 4 dead team wario, samus, captain falcon and nester gave me the idea for a quick round of fuck marry kill/bed wed behead

    fuck marry kill:
    wario, samus, captain falcon
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    i gotta say fuck captain falcon, because he's hot (no homo), marry samus, because she seems like good wife (or as BigOnYa says, wifey) material, and kill wario, because he can't die, so killing him won't really kill him

    My state has put a heavy tax on vape juice, taxing any juice with nicotine by the weight/oz. So to get around the bs, my local vape store only sells 0 nicotine vape juices, then they also sell straight nicotine in tiny bottles, and you mix it yourself to your 0% juice, lol
