Got a working white wii with a broken disc drive off ebay. The motor isn't turning.Anyone know a quick easy fix? Also, got a black wii I wanna do a drive transplant on. Anyone know what part of the drive is responsible for not being able to read DVDs? Is it the circuit board or the laser?

The white wii in question is LU75608185 btw
