    Roommate-computer usage conundrum

    Have you tried Steam In-Home Streaming? He should be able to stream games to his MacBook Air from your desktop. This is more of a temporary solution until he gets a new laptop, though.

    Hardware Strange Wii Problem

    A bit late, but here's an update. If you have this problem, send your Wii to Nintendo I tried replacing the laser with to results, so I decided to send it in. When I got it back, it was the same drive, so that wasn't the problem. The repair description was replaced "component(s)"...

    Hardware Strange Wii Problem

    I'm getting a strongish feeling that I need to replace the laser. Is it possible for a badly burned disc (0% reliability according to DVDInfoPro) to have this effect on the laser after just a handful of uses? Edit: And by laser, of course, I mean lens

    Hardware Strange Wii Problem

    It resets every time I open it up and try to find out what's wrong, but I do set it afterwards. Odd thing though, it used to reset back to launch day, but now it resets back to a much closer date. Today (Thursday) it reset back to Wednesday.

    Hardware Strange Wii Problem

    But my original games that should not have updates on them (i.e. Wii Sports) are doing this, too. I can't make sense of it. What could cause it to think there's an update when there isn't? Say, if something was overheating and cause the Wii to read the next disc improperly, wouldn't it give a...

    Hardware Strange Wii Problem

    So it's gotten worse. Now it's asking to update with the first disc I put in, too So all Wii games are doing this, but Gamecube ones are fine. It's having this problem whether the Wiikey/Wii-clip is attached or not, so I guess it's the drives problem? Should I order a new drive or do you...

    I'm updated to 1.9s, but I didn't have the update blocker turned on. I turned it on and no difference. Great idea, though. It didn't occur to stupid me at all

    Hardware Strange Wii Problem

    No ideas? I opened my Wii up again to check the connections and try it without the Wiikey/Wii-clip. No difference... I'll give the drive a close inspection and maybe clean it with alcohol later today.

    Hardware Strange Wii Problem

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. My Wii is already updated properly to 3.2U. After playing a game, my Wii will start asking for updates on every disc I put in, Wii Sports included. 1. Turn Wii on. 2. Put Wii Sports in and play a set of tennis. 3. Return to Wii menu. 4. Eject Wii Sports. 5. Put...

    Hardware Strange Wii Problem

    Here's my problem: after playing a game on my Wii (original or backed up) any disc I use after that asks to update my Wii. It appears to happen only when I actually play a game. Even if I eject the game I was playing and put it right back in, it asks to update. The only way is to turn the...
