I've had trouble reading disks after over-working my Wii for too many hours. For example after leaving the disc for Other M (which is dual layer and cinematic heavy) in my Wii for too long, it suddenly stopped recognizing random games which were all single layer.

After unplugging the console and letting it cool off for a while this issue went away. I suggest you try the same. Also try cleaning the area around your Wii from dust, and also cleaning the vents and making sure they are clear. Another thing that might improve your Wii's life-span is disabling standby connection in Wii settings as the console tends to heat up when in that mode. A disc cleaner is also a good idea but you need to order one from Nintendo.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Also already arranged for a friend to lend me their Wii (not an elderly friend though)
