A relatively common problem with the Wii is that it gets dust on the lens (well, less than 0.1% people probably get it as a major problem). This happened to me, and made most games freeze at certain points. I called Nintendo, and they said that it could take a month to get my Wii back, if I sent it to them. I had no interest in sending my Wii back, so I tried to blow into the Wii, and sucking the dust out using various items. Nothing helped.

Then I realized one thing, that is actually a pretty good idea.

Take a Wii disc (preferably one that isn't a huge crisis if gets messed up a bit, didn't happen to me, but might happen). Pour water on it. Don't use paper or clean it or anything. Put the disc into the Wii, with some water drops on it, and start the game. Let it stand on the menu for a few minutes, letting the disc spin. Exit the game, take out the game. The dust will now be on your disc, easy to clean off.

I believe that the reason is that the water makes the dust wet, so that it becomes slightly bigger, and when you take out the disc, just a bit is drawn out with the disc.

 

Still, now my Wii works perfectly, and load times for Disaster: Day of Crisis are now at less than 1/3 of before.

Kinda cool, huh?
