Except that I don't have anything to solder with, or know how to do such a thing. I also wouldn't know where I could get a replacement DVD drive for the thing.da_letter_a said:Hmmm...
How old are those burned discs?
And how many legitimate games have you tested?
There doesn't seem to be a problem with your softmods...
It must definetely be a hardware problem.
If your laser does die, you can just buy a new laser, and replace the old one. There are plenty of tutorials for this.
You'll need to remove a tiny blob of solder on the new laser after putting it in.
If you haven't opened your Wii before, there are many tutorials about that too.
I also never actually opened up my Wii before. I have opened up my Wii remote though, but that was to change the shell it had, so now I have a see-through remote.
