AboutChronoDensetsu Expertise I´ve played a lot of games through the years from a lot of different genres and on a majority of the available gaming platforms, my main expertise being RPG´s on Gameboy (color/DS/Advance), SNES, PSX, PS2, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii and PC. I´m also quite up to date about new developments in the gaming world, hardware fixes and can also give good advice about gaming in general, for instance, whether a game is worth buying or not, when a game will be released, if there are any good upcoming strategygames for PC, etc. Feel free to ask me questions outside of my expertise, I'll try to help the best I can.
Experience I've been an avid gamer since the age of 4, I'm 20 now, so I played countless games in those 16 years. RPG's and strategygames had the most of my interest, though there are few games that I really don't like. Series like Final Fantasy, Zelda, Secret of Mana and the Soulblazer saga are my favorite, I've finished every one of those games countless of times. Also strategygames like Command and Conquer, Age of Empires, Warcraft and Total Annihilation are games I played a lot and can tell you a lot about.
I work at a webstore for computerhardware. Therefore, I can also tell you a lot of things about the latest developements in this area, and the things I don't know I know where to find, so don't hesitate to ask me any questions you might have on this subject.
Question We are having a problem getting our wii sports disc out of the console. The machine makes a funny noise and does not release the disc. Can you help us?
Answer Hello there!
That is some serious problem! The answer to your question, whether I can help you with this or not, is yes and no. Yes as in, I can advise you what to do, no as in, I probably won't able to practically solve your problem.
This problem classifies as a hardware-problem, which falls under the warranty. Just in case you missed something, I will provide you with a short checklist on how to remove a disk. Now, don't think I consider you to be moronic, this is just to make sure you don't embarrass yourself when returning your Wii.
1: Check if there is really a disk inside of the console (stupid mistakes like this have been made)
2: Make sure you push the eject button (some mistake the resetbutton for it) located on the bottomleft on the front side of the machine.
3: A strange sound will be heard, which is right. The disk will come rolling out.
If this doesn't do the trick, try tapping the console on the sides a bit (gently), it could have drifted off from the eject-track. If this still doesn't fix your problem, the only thing you can probably do is open up your console. Now, this makes your warranty void, so it probably wise to refrain from doing this unless you know what you are doing. Take it back to the store instead, explain your story, and you will get a new Wii and Wii Sports copy.
I hope this helps you out, if not, feel free to ask a follow-up question.
