Today I tried to turn on my Wii and it only showed a black screen, played with it yesterday and it was working fine, and now it won't turn on, when I press the power button it makes a clicking noise, the power button led stays red, and can't insert discs. Is there any way to fix it?

Haven't heard of this problem before.   Are you sure you were the only one to use it?  I wonder if it's a bricking issue.  Not positive though and most likely wrong too.

my son put a disc in the wrong way & it got stuck & i had the same problem with it clicking & not turning on
but i just kept pressing eject for 30 mins untill it came out

Now it turns on sometimes, but it's stuck on a black screen, when it's on I can insert discs, but they won't spin. And yes, I'm the only one that used it. When it's on also the Remotes won't sync to the console, probably it's a bluetooth module issue? Anyway, I'm not opening it, since it has a 6 month warranty, I'm going to send it back. I find it very strange that it won't turn on, as it worked perfectly the day before. Don't think it's a brick, all my games had the update removed, and the console was updated to 4.1U using WiFi, and also most games were NTSC/U, except 1 or 2, and I didn't play them for a few days.

I've had instances before where my Wii would not eject the game out, but my Wii would operate just fine, so I have not particularly experienced your issue.  Hope you get it fixed soon.

I'm going to send it back, I'll post again when I get it back, I hope they send me a new one, or at least repair mine.

Expect to be charged for it by the big 'N' if you have been Soft modding!

The warranty isn't from Nintendo, it's from the place I bought it, since it's a premod they only give you 6 months of warranty.
Edit: After talking with the guy that sold the Wii to me (who said that it's the first time he had a broken Wii with only a black screen), he sent me the details on how to send it back, he should have it by tomorrow, when I get any news I'll post here.
Update: Received another Wii today, the one I had was broken and they couldn't fix it, so they sent me another one, but it seems this one doesn't have a modchip (bought a premod), only Wii Sports boots, any other disc I put doesn't work. Now I have to send it back again.
Second update: Got another Wii, this one works perfectly so far. Hope this is the last one.
