Review on Wii U Original Game Disc Drive Replacement with Tool - RD-DKL034AND OEM Original by Bomba Ton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The drive is not for the US region.

This disc must be for a non-US region. The logic board must be moved from the old drive to the new one for the WiiU to recognize the drive. However, the ribbon cable on the new drive is a different width than on the old drive and is too narrow to properly fit the old logic board. The drive accepts drives when installed with the old motherboard but still gives the same invalid drive error. Very disappointing as everything else works on my WiiU. I just need a new disc drive to play disc games again. Also, the tool supplied is a star drive pattern, not the three-pointed pattern shown in the advertisement. The star drive tool is useless as nothing on the disc or WiiU uses the star drive screw. The drive only uses Phillips screws, while the WiiU uses both Phillips and Phillips screws.

Pros
  • Video Games
Cons
  • Operating Speed
