Wii drive issue

Hi,

When I insert a disc the Wii takes it but there is a quite ticking sound and the disc in not read. I opened the Wii to check and I see that the disc is taken but doesn't go down to the Wii motor and laser to read it. When I slightly touch on top of the white plastics it goes down and it reads.

I don't know why he doesn't want to put the discs down to read them. With a slight touch on the disc (on the top) or on the white plastics is goes down and I can play.

What can be done ?

Thanks everybody for replying and helping me out..

i bought a broken wii and when i got it , it was doing same thing.. if you take that metal plate off which is abour 5 screwa i think...on the right side of the drive you will notice a little metal bar with a spindle which turns gears whichoperate open,close ,eject ,insert procedures. check that area one of the gears may be broke. ive ordered a replacement drive found it to be cheaper and less time consuming than to look and look for the gears lol but check that area of the drive out

It's like the little plate that is supposed to press the disc down is stuck or something, it sure sounds like if something is stuck.
