My favorite Wii is working again

This was professionally packaged and looked brand new in every way. I also bought a screwdriver set for Nintendo consoles. I watched a YouTube video and followed the instructions to the letter and the whole process took me maybe 30 minutes while being very methodical and taking the time to use a piece of paper to mark the location of many of the screws after I she had removed. I swapped out the drive and put everything back together and my Wii really works! I'm so happy and my kids are excited.

Pros
  • Internal Optical Drives
Cons
  • Out of fashion

My dead Wii is alive again!

I decided to dust off my Wii and play again. It turned on, but the drive wouldn't work and made a clicking noise when a disc was inserted. I ordered this drive and watched a tutorial video on YouTube that walks me through the replacement process. The disc arrived in perfect condition, even came with a triangular screwdriver which helped a lot! It took me about 20 minutes to take out the original CD and put this one in. I tested the drive before putting everything back together and it worked…

Works well. Plays GameCube games.

My Wii ejected every disc I inserted. I took it apart and after about 2 hours of troubleshooting found that the problem had something to do with the drive not dropping the front of the drive into the correct position, but I couldn't figure out what was preventing it. from that. Not to mention there was a rather annoying gear grinding noise coming from the unit, so I figured the gears were going to fail completely soon and this thing wouldn't even come close to working. Hence my order of this…

Play GameCube games!

My Wii drive has been broken for a few years now but I kept it because I have some better downloads. My kids have grown up a bit and started inviting friends over, so I was dying to get my CDs back. I've tried a number of fixes to no avail and finally landed on this gem. I was very pleasantly surprised when, despite the description, it can actually play GameCube games! To be honest, it was the only thing that kept me going for so long. Just make sure you get Nintendo's proprietary…

Pros
  • Internal CD and DVD drives
Cons
  • Compatibility

Seems to be working as expected

Our 12 or 13 year old Wii has been reading discs well for as long as I can remember. When I recently tried to use it again in 2019, the drive kept crashing and couldn't read Wii and GameCube games. Then I started looking online for a suitable replacement drive and came across many different suppliers. I believe the seller of this was HongLei, but they don't always stock it as a direct seller. As a result, I was sent a replacement CD by a third-party Game Console Warehouse. The box it arrived in
