it appears my wii drive has as good as bit the dust, disc read errors on all discs, bombs out halfway through games, noisey, etc.....
as im on a very tight budget at the mo... instead of replacing the whole unit, is it the dvd drive motor or the laser motor i should be looking at changeing????
Switch to usb loading, cheaper than buying a new dvd drive.
If you opt to do a drive switch, better hold on to that PCB attached to the drive... if you get a new one high probabiliy D3-2 drive (and this PCB can save your butt on that issue).
my current chipset is D2B and im looking at around £35 for complete new drive, but the motors are around £10, i would like in the future to go the usbloader route but as i dont currently own a drive to use i would have to purchase one anyway.
Had the same problem with friends wii loaded all my game backups on to a usb hard drive with WBFS manager 3.0 and use uloader all works fine dont use the dvd drive.
