My wii does some noises while loading, similar to floppy disks loading noises. Is this normal ?

I've also encountered about 5 "please eject the disk and turn off the console" errors in the first week I've got the console, but none after (I have it for 6 weeks - so 5 weeks with no error).

 

Please someone answer to this. I'm starting to get worried.

 It's one of the more common Wii hardware problems...disc reading errors.  Your Wii should not make those noises...it's trying to read the disc and failing I'm guessing...if it completely fails it gives you that error message...but most times the game will continue.

Your loading for certain games can be really long because of that beeping, right?  That shouldn't happen, and you can get it fixed under Nintendo's warrantee.  It happened to me, mainly with launch titles, especially Ubisoft titles like Rayman Raving Rabbids or Red Steel...but it has ocassionally given me errors for other games as well.

The Wii is having more problems than a typical Nintendo system...but their customer service and warrantee is great, so no worries.
