Broken Wii

[TheZap]

So, my girlfriends wii is broken and appearently I offered to fix it. Not sure how to fix it so I should of visited here before I said that...
So.. According to her, when she puts the CD in, it wont take it and it makes some wierd noise.
Ill go into deeper details once I get to see it. Anyone have any ideas yet?

I'm going out on a limb and going to guess it's a broken disc drive

Sounds most likely, any idea where to get a new one, Im not so good wehn it comes to the wii...

there are multiple people with the same problem, what happened is there is a plastic gear that drives the disc feeding system and if disks are pushed in or pulled out too early it puts stress on that drive gear and eventually breaks it

Just search ebay for a new drive. They're generally around $50 there.

yeah def sounds like your drive is broken had that happen to one of my wii's my 8 year old sister kept pulling out out too early or just jammin the disc in there I picked up on from hmmm gotta remember I wouldn't suggest ebay google wii disc drives and get it from a repair shop cheaper and guaranteed to work ya know...

[PspKicks316]

Yes, well I suggest eBay. I know what I'm talking about.
Just don't buy from Hong Kong.

of this helps at all let me know. I bought a broken wii once and it did the same thing. I put a game. the game doesnt load and it makes weird sounds. I decided to open it cause i know how to fix the gear on the drive and to my surprise I found a jammed nickle and a piece of gum. I guess someone thought it would be fun to give mario real coins through the drive.
