Help please re: wii

Evening all and Happy new year:beer:

Wondered if anyone can help,my son's wii won't eject the disc(the disc still plays but it won't come out:confused: ) It makes a funny noise when eject is pressed. The wii was his xmas present last year.
All advice welcome.
Thanks in advance.

    Is the eject button stuck in or is it trying to eject but just not coming out.

    If the button isn't jammed in try turning it upside down while pressing the button.

    If this doesn't work you may have to open it up and remove the disc then hope the drive isn't knackered.
  • Thanks for replies.
    It's not under warranty,had it about 14 months.

    When I brought my Wii I was informed that Nintendo warrentys are generous to the tune of 2 years. May be worth a check!!
    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
