I have a Wii that's 7months old, my 2 year old was watching his sisters playing on their DS and thought he should shove the DS cartidges in the Wii console.

I managed to get them out (i think i got them all) and a Wii disc was able to get accepted into the console, but now the Wii cannot read it.

I'm assuming the laser is off?? Not sure what I should do.

If I cannot repair it myself, anyone know of a good place to get it repaired near Burlington, ON.

Thanks

Since this isn't obviously something that is covered free by warranty, I would get in contact with Nintendo regardless. When my 1.5 year old Wii started making vibrtation noises when playing games, I sent it in and got a refurbished unit for just over $100 that is still going strong today.

Firstly, call Nintendo and see what they will do for you. They are pretty fair and realize that kids do stuff and parents continue to buy games.

I had an un-certified repair/mod guy tell me that a replacement drive is worth more than the new retail unit. So, repair may not really be worth it. There were reports of Costco unloading the original packaging for $99 but I have no first hand confirmation of that.

There are lots of mod-guides on youtube if you want to try your hand at opening it up and looking for something obvious. You will need the tri-wing screwdriver though and that will void any chance at a warranty claim.

You can check Kijiji for a repair service in your area.

Good luck!
