My wii stoped reading disks last night. Does not even read originals.
Just a loud clicking sound over and over again for 3 sec before it stopes.
Will a laser replacement fix it ?
I'm no expert and cannot give you anything but my own observation and advice. It would be more prudent to seek a real experts advice of course. But here are some things I would try....
First try it with the chip off if you can, take care not to damage the points or you'll have to resolder it back to the chip legs, because the pads lift so easy. Check the board is clean and all points are free of any solder bridges.
If it's still the same, observe it in operation with the top off, if the disc spins up and the laser lights up, then you may get away with a tweak of the adjustment pot. Turn it anti-clock wise about 1/20th to 1/16th of a turn. You will need a very small screw driver to do this, any excessive force will break it, it's very very delicate (i know because i broke mine
your last option I would guess is to try a new laser, or somehow get a new drive
