Reply With Quoteu got wat i call a broken disc drive after a long time when you play wii games the tri screws get lose and come out they go under the first plate of your disc drive
Hi Guys,
I have a Wii with a WiiKey installed.
I have had my wii for a couple of years and its worked fine.
The other day I was playing wii sports resort and it worked fine, the next day I turned on my wii and it would no longer read burned games, it will load original games but freezes once I get past the menu screen of the original wii sports and links cross bow training.
I picked up my wii and could hear something rallting inside! :S
I took apart the wii and 1 tri screw fell out from somewhere and another one was lodged in the DVD drive, I can't seem to see where they belong. I put it back together but the same problem exists, VC games still play fine.
I was wondering if people could suggest some options?
I can either
1) Sell the fight stick, controllers etc and ut my losses,
2) send it to a repairer?
3) See if Nintendo will just sell me a console( I have everything else).
Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks!

Well the graphics card was already dying on it aswell ( I was getting graphical artfacts on the screen in some games), So its probably not worth the moeny to replace the drive, I might just have a firesale for all my spare parts.
cheers.
you can fix it yourself take it back apart and look at the discdrive for 2 screw parts
Hi,
Thanks for that, thats the odd thing, I couldn't find where the screws are supposed to go :s.
I have a mate who's modded over a dozen of these things I'll ask him to assist.
cheers.
sorry, but does anyone know where I could find a guide to taking the drive, not just the wii, apart? I've had a look but so far no luck...
cheers.

Thanks mate, much appreciated.
I had found that link earlier, it talks about moving the white plastic parts to try to free up the drive if its locked up. Anyway, I unclicked the ribbon cable and the plastic lock bit snapped off... its just not my day...
I think its time to bury the wii...
