Wii loading and running dvd noise now concerns me
« on: May 24, 2008, 11:24:57 PM »
well, i started getting the noise in january (when i got japanese brawl).  i noticed it when i did the upgrade off the disc (my wii is chipped and theres a way to upgrade without really upgrading but you get like two weathe rchannel and etc).   

now today, i was playing my wii at my cousin house and notice that mario kart kept crashing ( it crashed before).  then  we played wii sport and when i try to play the game it said unable to read disc or it loas then it crashes.  that happend twice.

now, im concern to wat i should do.  if it breaks, how can i repair it without sending it to ninty (my wii is chipped).  can i buy a replacement dvd drive and install that?  is the chipset switchable between dvd drives?

im soo worried. 

also, some of my games are scratch circular but im not sure if its the wii or the disc case (the one that has many disc stack on top of each other.  (i put it in it to conserve space, box is stored safely)  also, i have the real copy of mario kart so yea.

EDIT:  games that makes the weird sound like EKK pasue then EKK again.  Brawl, mario kart, my sims, bullies.

Your Wii laser is probably getting weak because of the extra stress getting put on it, best bet is to probably buy a replacement drive but they cost like $125-$200
