Ok so I was walking over to put my sd card into my wii once again. I bent over and pushed it and and pushed the power button. At that point i realized it was in the optical drive and the drive sucked it in. Now i can't get it out! How would I go about rescuing my poor sd card from this peril?

 

yep also tried shaking it and seeing if i could catch something with a paper clip. Nothing What do I need to properly open up the wii and is it possible to open up the disc drive once I'm inside to get the card out?

 

that's just awesome!

anyway you can easily take the front plate off where the drive is than you should be able to reach in with a thin pare of tweezers and yank it out. you don't have to dismantle the whole wii.

 

I had the exact same thing. I was drunk and wanted to watch a movie, so I inserted my SD card in de disk slot by accident.
Anyway, I opened up my Wii, and I could peel it out. I noticed you can not get it out without disassembling the complete drive. But you can open up your Wii, and then manually 'slide' it out via the disk slot.
Good luck lol.

 

well I got it out. Me and my dad went and got a triwing screwdriver from a hardware store and opened up the wii. We had to take the metal plate off the drive to get to the sd card. Although, we've broken the drive in the process because it won't read discs anymore. Either something got fucked up from lifting up the metal plate on the drive or from us trying to fish it out with a paperclip the day before anywho looks like i'm going to stick to usb loading from now on.

 

Bring back cartridges.

 

Watch a movie while being drunk? That's like drunk teens going to school. Double fail.

 

Not only are you a douche, but your response doesn't even work with my question; my question was specifically was how to save the SD card not how to protect it from damage, asshole.

 

Your only bet is to talk it apart! I did the same thing once, but after that your Wii is voided. Nintendo will not repair it for any reason even if you pay them.

 

You're in the Netherlands -- that's a totally different case. Where I live, drunk teens are just stupid kids who are too scared to go home and face their parents. That reminds me: I got to move to Europe once I finish college...
