[Kurossaki652]

I was playing SSBB and while I was playing it, it said disc read error
So I turned the wii off and tried again... Same Thing
So I tried to play a burnt wii game on neogamma... THE SAME THING
So I put Brawl in and the disc channel now doesnt recognize the disc or any other disc and GC Discs
I really don't know how or what happened.. I just really need to know why it doesnt work
Also the wii discs dont spin around anymore
What wrong with my wii?

Was this SSBB a retail disc or a burnt disc?
Also, what was the other game you tried loading?

It is an original disc
The burnt game I tried was Naruto GNT Special
The Gamecube game I tried was Luigi's Mansion
They all worked fine before
I also tried other wii games(not burnt) and they wont read either
Is it the laser for the wii because this week I have been playing bralw on GeckoOS it most of the times it said no dvd found
so I had to try it over and over until it worked
Is it the laser??
Thanks

Something wierd really happened
I unplgged it and waited for like 2-3 hours (I think)
So I Pugged it back in, so I tried out Luigi's Mansion and it worked
I tried a burnt Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and IT WORKED
I tried the retail Elebits and IT WORKED
So I tried SSBB and it showed up on the disc channel
BUT when I pressed pressed start it took me back to the system menu
So I tried again with SSBB and it said error had occured on SSBB
So I turned off the wii and turned it back on and all the games stopped working
So I think its the laser
Also I had the first batch of wiis so thats probably it

maybe it's time to switch to usb?

 

[Aijelsop]

Happened to me... Your only choice is to buy a new drive - or the dreadful... send it to Nintendo. (I had to send it in)

 

[Bladexdsl]

or change to usb

 

[bazamuffin]

or change to usb

Quicker, cheaper and more convenient

 

[Kurossaki652]

Could I just buy a new laser?

 

[zizer]

No, just buy a new laser. They're like £10 and pretty damn easy to fit.
A launch date wii is not gonna be under warranty so they'd charge to fix anyway and I'd put money on it being more than the cost of a laser

yea i get my parts there. takes them a while to pack and ship though. you will get your item in 14-20 days. unless you are lucky.

I use ebay and generally get em within a few days. Haven't bought one for a couple of years though

Nintendo will still fix it for free even being a launch wii. Just tell them ssbb wont work and the rest of your games play fine. Although if they fix it they will give you the new drive that can't read backups.

LOL, Very helpful to someone who clearly uses backups discs from what hes said in the opening post.

I'll just buy a new laser and see if it'll work
Thanks for Everyones help :3

Neogamma may not even be on his wii. You can load it from the homebrew channel or a foward channel.

Yes it's possible nintendo won't fix it if they detect unauthorised software on it "Check Disk for Pre-Repair Process
" but then again they might. Obviously you would want to remove any homebrew you have on it before sending it in.

Oh and even if they refuse to fix it it still won't cost you anything as they pay for the shipping. If the OP is happy buying a laser and fixing it himself he's probably way better of anyways as he will keep his drive that can play backups and bootmii@boot2.
