Hardware wii takes gc discs but not wii discs

[steplay29]

hi all,

brother just dropped around his wii for me to look at and b4 i did i wanted a bit of advice.i tried it out myself and the problem is that it will take gamecube discs and play ok but will not accept wii discs.the wii discs will not go in all the way and there is about an inch of the wii disc sticking out,anyone have any ideas as to what i have to do,or is the drive knackered?

Sounds like the drive case cracked or something. Assuming your warranty is voided, I would open it up and see what's wrong.

wii is out of warranty so will have a look at it.i have a spare drive here and i know thats working ok,can i just pop that in or is there a key or anything to enter like the xbox360?

Pop it in, no key

you sure you don't just have a gamecube and not a wii?

If you good with mechanic, I say open up and see if you can fix it.

Otherwise buy a broken Wii online to swap the drive (obviously the drive must not be broken).
