abcGoodefg Nintendo Wii DVD Drive Replacement Disc Drive Repair Part with Opening Tool

Replaced the Wii drive that was not loading the disc and making grinding noises. This one so far is working great. Kids are playing the games we have had for years. The install was easy by just watching a video on YouTube. Easy and straight forward took about 30mins.

Worked perfectly. Be sure to get the specialized tools to install it. Spent another $40 at Micro Center for the tools.

Our Wii console had the issue where the system would start up and display the Wii menu on the TV, but the tile for the DVD game disc would never load the small preview and would show an error about reading the disc when you tried to select it. After following some detailed drive replacement instructions online (and cursing those Tri-wing screws left and right), I finally got it replaced. The Wii works normally now and the kids have been playing off and on for a couple weeks. So far, so good! My only tip would be to be very careful with the tri-wing screws. Some of mine were in rather tight and both the tri-wing driver and the tri-wing screws would round out and wear out. Ultimately, I had to use my dremel to very carefully cut a straight flat slot in the last tri-wing screw in order to get it out. Then, I did the same to all of the other screws in order to be able to reassemble. If you can find flat or Phillips replacements for the various screws, I would recommended doing that. But that tip is irrelevant of this DVD drive part. So far the part is doing as advertised.

The tools that came with are cheaply made and would not loosen my Tri wing screws, (Tri wing screw drivers are not easy to find and alot of people have not heard of them). I had to Wiis that needed repairing and the main one I needed fixing, was not able to be done as I could not loosen the screws. So I tried on box #2 I switched everything out and still have the same issues. Still waiting on Tri wing screwdriver to take the first box apart to switch out, but I’m s currently ready to just remove and return. Had to watch a few YouTube videos to figure out how to change this.

Perfect solution for disk read error on the Wii. Comes with the tools needed for easy install. Happy to be able to play Wii games again. Used on original Wii that was purchased 2006.

Affordable, securely packed and, easy to install. Just make sure you have the right tools (y tip) screwdriver.

Great. Get the tools trilobe and very small phillips. Carefully follow online instructions and youll be happy with repair. I left the front cover gently hanging by the 2 wires instead of removing completely.

Screwdriver got worn with each screw taken out but install was fairly easy and the Wii now works

My 2006 WII stopped reading disc the other day. this was able to get it working again. Install wasnt too bad, lots of little screws with a few of them under the feet or little stickers. keep track of where they go and it should back together easy.

I am a happy camper! Because I refuse to go back to the gym during these times, I dusted off my Wii but my game discs kept ejecting from my 11 year old console. Disheartened, I researched and decided to take a chance and ordered the replacement drive. A friend installed and it worked! Now I can do Zumba, play volleyball and tennis in my family room! Yea!
