How can I fix my Wii cd drive? It makes noise and often fails to load?

Has anyone else had this problem and if so is there a way to fix it or do I just need to send it back to Nintendo? I quite often get the "Error" screen that says to power down.

I have this problem too. I don't want to send it back to Nintendo, but the noise is becoming unbearable.
