Ugh -- Had GrandPa buy a Wii in Iowa. He just sent it via UPS to us today. I waited until the kids went to bed and set it up -- making, of course, sure that it would be SAFE for THEIR use...
I set it up properly... etc...
The drive wouldn't take my Sport's disc. Kind of rumbled a bit in there, but wouldn't take it. So I pushed it a bit and it went in past the felt but still wouldn't give me the option to START on the Wii Disc channel.
Had to use some plastic tweezers to get it out. Tried a few more times.
Powered down... unplugged to get all the flowing electrons out... in the video editing world we call this the Guinness Method... un-plug and have a beer...
THAT time it took it out of my fingers, but never got it fully past the felt.
Have you been hearing of drive mechanism failures? I read thru a few of these 5 pages... I'll be happy to take a slap if you point out the exact thread this was mentioned on.
Anyway -- Nintendo of course doesn't want you to take it back to the store. I submitted a request thru their website and will call again tomorrow.
We don't have the recept, but hope to have it faxed to us soon. I'm going to try and go to the WalMart locally and see if they won't hold onto one for us and take THIS back.
