Hello! Hopefully someone can help me with my problem because I am going crazy!
Background: Since yesterday I have been getting 'Unable to Read Disk' errors when trying to play either the Single Layer OR Dual Layer version of Brawl on my wii (modded with Wiikey). However, before yesterday both copies of the game played flawlessly... and had been working fine for the last two weeks. I don't think it's a problem with my modchip as my burned copy of No More Heroes still plays fine while neither Smash Bros disc will read no matter how many times I try. I have also tried retail-copies of games like Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy, and both work fine on the first try.
Question: Is this the problem of my laser going bad or getting dirty and not being able to read Brawl because that game is more sensitive or something? I did get a few Disk Read Errors a couple of months ago when trying to play Metroid Prime 3, but they went away since then (at the time I just assumed it was the disk).
IF the problem is the laser... is there a way to clean it without opening up the system? I did a google search on this issue and saw someone recommend using a disk-based "laser lens cleaner"... however I cannot find one made for the Wii. Will ANY "laser lens cleaner" (like one for a dvd player) work, and is there any chance of it damaging my Wii?
Thanks a bunch for any help!!!
