Hardware Wii U doesn't recognize games anymore, reads them as "Invalid Disc"

[Veetw0]

My Wii U has been working for around since I got it (late 2013)
I've been able to play a bunch of games until very recently (this year.)
My Wii U no longer reads any discs, and I feel I have to buy all my disc copies as digital copies. Is my lens broken?

Yes, your drive is broken.
Install haxchi and play your games again easily.

I have CBHC installed, the only problem is I don't know how to actually get the games I want onto my Wii U.

Use the Wii U USB helper: https://gbatemp.net/threads/working-fix-easy-install-wii-u-usb-helper-0-6-1-655.535214/

I've tried using the USB helper. I can't find any site at all for the URL though.

Google the keyword in the spoiler of the topic I linked above.
