Sounds like something is stuck inside of your Wii's DVD Drive... someone may have stuck something in the slot? Coins? credit card? paper? Etc... sounds like this is preventing the disc from being read properly. Either this, or something inside of the drive has become broken.
The following website sells the DVD drive mechanisms and does repairs on the Wii as well:
If there is a bad noise coming from inside of your Wii when you are trying to load a game, either there is something stuck inside of the DVD drive or a part has fallen out of place. If you feel comfortable with it -- open up the Wii and check things out. Make sure the kids didn't put anything in the drive. If you're not comfortable with it, the following website does Wii repairs and sells the whole DVD drive unit for the Wii:
You know, I had the same exact problem, but it didn't shoot it out all the way, only halfway. Anyway, heres how to fix it. First, you get a gamebit screwdriver (can be bought at hardware store). Then, you take the rubber things off and the stickers around the wii. You will see some bolts, take them out. Take off the shell. You will see a metal box kind of thing. There will be more bolts. Take those out, too. Then you will be in the inards of the wii. Handle this with care, if you drop it, your wii is doomed. Now, open the inards. You will see some white things and the disk. Take the disk out. Now grease the white things and try it. It may make a strange buzzing noise but it's better than it being broken. By the way, I am not responsible for your console breaking because I'm 10 years old and I am putting how I remember my dad did it, but he is an engineer, though. He's good with this stuff. So good luck!
you may need to get a trigram screwdriver to undo the funny screws in the wii and take a look, mine had a piece of paper in it and it sometimes stopped discs coming out.
It sounds like the laser may have gone out. Check to make sure the disc is clean and inserted with the label facing outwards. If this doesn't work and/or your Wii also makes strange noises while trying to read the disc that more than likely means a bad laser. You can purchase a laser and fix it yourself if your good at things like that. If not there are game repair companies that will do it for a fee.
Make sure the discs are clean, make sure you are putting them in the right way, other than that you might try some sort of lens cleaning disc. Also, make sure your Wii has the latest firmware update.
