Selected User Reviews For Genuine Nintendo OEM Wii DVD Drive Disc Replacement Repair Part
When the Wii was first released, about 15 years ago, I purchased one. Let us fast forward to the present time. My wife and I have two children, one of whom is a six-year-old boy who enjoys playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl on the Switch of our neighbors. I dusted off my Wii and bought a copy on eBay because I didn't want to spend $300. It was impossible to read the disc. I bought a new copy because I thought the first one was damaged. Same. After some research, it was discovered that early versions of the Wii couldn't read double density DVDs like Smash Brothers and Metroid. I asked Nintendo for a fix via email, Twitter, and DMs. I then contacted their customer service department, who informed me that they used to repair these for free, but that they no longer do so, and that they have no plans to do so. After feeling defeated for several days, it occurred to me that replacing the hard drive might be the solution. It had an effect. My son is now enjoying Smash Brothers, though he still wishes for a switch (damn!). Installing it can be a little difficult, but if you follow the many YouTube videos, you should be fine.

To keep track of all the screws, I used a piece of paper cut out in the shape of a Wii as a template. Facetings, stickers, and rubber pads Phillips appeared to be hidden beneath the rubber pads and the tri-pod. Underneath the stickers were a pair of wings.

" The box says it's new, but when I open it up, the part is a little scuffed. However, if it works, I will not complain. Unfortunately, this is not the case. It will accept a disc and spool it, but it will not read, and the reader head will not move. I'd just finish the job that whoever started it on and refurb it from there, but that's not what I paid for. I've placed an order for a replacement, so we'll see how things go. If everything goes well, I'll update my rating. Just a heads up to those interested in purchasing: getting a working unit may be a crapshoot. QC does not appear to be on the list for these. To the vendor, I say: Because this is a disc drive with no other external protection, it's probably best to ship it in something other than a thin cardboard box and one layer of cheap bubble wrap.
Disks do not fully load and the computer hangs up. Disks do not spin or read if the guide arms are pushed to help it seat. I decided to give the dealer the benefit of the doubt and place an order for a new one. This POS should be avoided at all costs. Tested? I don't think so. When the new one arrives, I'll let you know. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> Today I received a replacement hard drive. The response time was quick, and the drive was smooth.
Easy to set up (if you've worked with electronics before) and fixed all of our Wii's problems - Disks are not being read, the computer is freezing, and there are random errors. Look for a video on the internet and watch it a few times. You'll be removing (and re-installing) a lot of screws. several of which are hidden beneath rubber feet and plastic tabs while inserting). A tri-pod is required. You'll also need a VERY SMALL philips screwdriver and a blade screw driver.

We tried blowing air into the dvd drive to clear it of dust, but it didn't work. I ordered this replacement drive, figuring it had a 50/50 chance of working—couldn't the issue have been with the Wii itself? So far, it's been a success. For only $20, you can get your Wii back to full functionality. Yay. Tip: Before you disassemble your old drive, make sure you press eject to remove the disc from inside.
The drive arrived today, and it took about half an hour to set up (thanks to YouTube). The drive works fine, but it is extremely noisy, and delivery was extremely fast.
