Hacking drive noise

[dhh93]

i installed a key-clip in my wii, with wiikey firmware. it runs backups like a charm, but when i put the origional in it makes a bad noise when spinning the disc. it still plays, but is this normal?

i think i know what noise you're talking about but its hard to describe and i dont have the video =[

its kinda like this http://youtube.com/watch?v=9tvrFLgoZOI but what i dont understand is why it does it on originals instead of backups. they didnt do that b4 i but the chip in

im wondering if you can try putting in an original with the key clip off, since it is a clip after all

but that would mean 10 mins of opening and closing your wii again ;x
this is just to make sure if its definitely the drive chip

i dont understand why the wii will make more noise for some discs (even originals in your case) either =[ maybe new wii firmware caused changes in disc reading. sometimes the noise will go away if you reinsert the disc

just recently i was playing splinter cell double agent original and it was spinning/rumbling pretty loudly too like in the video you linked up there. reinserting the disc didnt help =[
darn the dodgy wii noises ;P even if we shouldnt worry about it, since there's no definite answer its a worry !

i read somewhere to loosen the screws, so i opened the wii and loosened the screws holding the drive in. i no longer hear the annoying buzzing sound! but i dont get it still why only originals?

It might be due to the thickness of the media ?

If i am not wrong, DVDs have VERY VERY slight difference in the thickness. So maybe originals have slightly thicker media ?

2 cents worth =)

thats the only thing that would make sense lol so i guess so.
