Wii not reading discs

(1/4) > >>

Name says it all :P
 
My Wii stopped reading discs (though as far as I can tell everything else works fine).
I tried cleaning the lens using some tips I found on Youtube figuring that I was going to have to buy a new one anyway even if I didn't screw up and scratch it or w/e.  No (positive at least) effect from that though.  Not really sure if I messed it up more than it already was.  Any ideas/tips other than getting a new one and getting out SD cards to transfer everything over?

Maxi:
Okay which disks aren't working. Gamecube or Wii Disks in either case I am going to refer you to this thread.


You could send it up to Nintendo for repairs Also they when they repair it add a one year warrenty to your Wii. I got my repaired in 3 days. By that I mean I had it back after I shipped it up to Nintendo.

MisterE13:
Neither Wii nor GCN works. Any original warranty I ever had on it is surelly long gone... Is that a problem? Did they screw with the system memory?

Maxi:
Yeah the issue is with the disk drive then. As far as the warranty goes I suggest you call up Nintendo tomorrow and explain your problem and if you are a big Nintendo fan like I am you might be able to talk down the price of the repair. I think my warranty had just expired a few days before I sent it up to them and I talked about my NP subscription and how I had it for a very long time. I didn't have to pay anything for the repair I believe. No they didn't mess with the system memory since it is a disk drive problem. Just read the thread I linked to. If you have any further questions that haven't been answered there post them here.

MisterE13:
Thanks a lot, I'll look into that :D.

NP subscription's been lapsed for a while and I've had the Wii at least long enough that Galaxy 1 was recent so I don't imagine I'm just barely past the warranty
