[QUOTE="Sallyquent, post: 8803973, member: 505586"] Hrm.. well, I hate to say it, but we're going to need a new disc drive anyways as I damaged both the new disc drive and our original one trying to swap the PCBS - the wires connecting to both motors need to be soldered back on. I guess if a new one still doesn't read those handful of games like the old one use to then I'll consider getting one of those PC disc drives or maybe a new lens for the Gamecube.. I just thought I'd clarify if anyone else thinks or knows there to be a reason why this D4 drive we got doesn't seem to perform as well as the D3 D-2 drive we use to use did. We had been playing these games on our old, failing Gamecube in the time the Wii wasn't working, and we can't help but wonder if maybe our method of trying to get them to read by manually spinning the discs and closing the lid with the power on wore them out. Also, I'd just like to mention that the D4 drive we got is suppose to be largely 'based' on the components of the D3 D-2 drive - which is the one we use to use - and yet it didn't work the same, the only real difference being the smaller sized PCB and lens cable.
