Hey guys, my Wii is broken. There are two main issues with it:
-It produces artifacts on the screen when playing any game (Wii/GC/VC) [this has been ongoing, but since it was out of warranty, we lived with it]
-The CD drive is broken(?)-- it gives an error message when you put a CD in and it makes a clicking noise [this is a problem]
The Wii has never been modded and is about 2-3 years old, so way over the warrant period. What are my options and what would be the best solution? Here is what I am thinking as my options:
-Get it repaired by Nintendo (not sure what the price is)
-Replace the CD drive with one off the internet (need more info on this, I don't know much) and stick with the artifacts
-Buy a new Wii (holiday sales/bundles galore)
I am thinking about modding it, so that's another thing to take into consideration. Would replacing the CD drive with something else be a step in the right direction when it comes to modding?
So yeah.. what are my options in addition to these and what would you guys do? Thanks!
