My dad threw my Wii on the ground after taking it and so he gave it back to me today and I tried to turn it on and when I did loud sounds were coming from the spinning disc, it worked except for the DVD drive, so I opened it up and here is what happens now when I opened it up, I alreayd unscrewed the drive and took it off but I put it back on for this vid. I just need to know if all I need to do is replace the DVD drive and no the whole thing because my dad is paying for it and the game if it's scratched up which i think it is but I can't get it out, should I unscrew the drive it self to get the drive out? Thanks!

Also could there be anything else broken? When he threw it on the ground I told him thanks for breaking the DVD drive but he didn't believe me and still doesn't believe me.

by the sound of it i think your dvd drive is broken it may just be the laser that broken (which would move tooo close to disc scratch it and make the noise you described)

Oh and how should i get my game out? Should I just unscrew it open?

[Knightsofwar210]

I unscrewed the drive and got my disc out and it's chipped on the side -
that's ruined right? =/

Should I just replace the drive with one from dealextreme.com? - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.19842 - which is a used part or buy a new one? =/

You can probably buy from them. I mean, their quality isn't the best but if that's all you can find then I guess it'll hae to do. As for your disk, yeah by the looks of it. I'm not sure if data is actually stored on that black rim, and also if your crack extends past the black rim, then yeah it's probably unusable, or parts of your game will skip/fail to load.

Don't order from Gaming Generations, that $70 is way overpriced.
