So, what do I do?
Seriously, I tried to clean black cover because i saw dust build up (also, my brawl dosn't read but all my other games do) i stuck a que-tip in and it ripped it out of my hand and ate the ****ed thing.

so my question, what the hell do I do now?

I'm sorry but, that's so lol.
I agree, i cracked up hard too.

But now i'm trying to send it to nintendo, because of the whole "duel layered disk reading error" problem that the wii has. But, I don't want to send them a wii and when they open it up they find a que tip....in it.....

?
LMAO
Can your wii still play games? xD

I don't know if you want to risk taking your Wii apart to get it out, so maybe it's best to send it in for repairs (Yes I know, that sucks but I can't think of anything else lol)

At least I learned from this.....

Yes, I can still play my wii games.

It's wierd, When i put in a game i reads. and then half way into the game it will stop, and spit out the CD. I', sitting here like...."mannnnn nintendo is going to have a good laugh." I was thinking about taking apart my wii, but they have the wierdest screws I have ever seen..."tri-slots?" idk, should I wait? lol this still makes me laugh for modern stupidity.

I read the first few words and thought you might have had it stuck in your ear. But wow...I didn't see it that coming. Well, if you can't see it...then you could send it to Nintendo and deal with the fact that they're going to have quite a time over it, or invest in some tri-thingy screws and get it out yourself.

Good luck. =P

It's also ironic your username is Panix.

the wii isn't that hard to take apart, I've successfully taken it apart and put it back together and it works perfectly. Just get a tutorial on taking it apart, and get a tr-wing screwdriver, and you're set. You pay 1$ for the screwdriver instead of 50$ to send to nintendo.

It ripped it out of your hands.... so wait...

You tried to clean it while it was still on? lol No offense but lol.

Reminds me of my friend that tried to install ram on his computer while it was still on.

My thoughts exactly, lol.

Sorry, but this is too funny. :laugh:

I would send it to Nintendo unless you feel 100% sure you can take it apart & reassemble it yourself.... personally, I wouldn't risk it, but I'm balls at things like this. :ohwell: They'll laugh at you, but they'll laugh even harder if you try to fix the problem and royally F it up.

I'm sure they've seen weirder.....

....maybe.

I know, i'm retarted. I'm sending it to nintendo mainly because my wii is having trouble reading brawl. idk the lense needs to try 2x harder while reading brawl or somthing.

they are just going to find a que-tip in there as well...haha..

Actually, there HAS been worse.

I read somewhere on the net where this mother of 2 kids (I think) wanted to buy some Wii points, and put her Credit Card into the disc slot. Soooo...yeah.

Theres been worse. :laugh:

Well for starters, I would recommend TURNING YOUR WII OFF BEFORE YOU CLEAN IT.

I somtimes clean it with a tissue just the black cover but i don't push in so hard so it sucks it up. Next time i clean it i better unplug it just incase. You could maybe open it up and take it out but if your not skilled in that area then just ring up nintendo and ask them the situation. The person on the phone might lol for a few minutes but i guess that would be normal.

Kinzer speaks the truth.
