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

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.

It works great

I was worried about matching the drive, the circuit board on the drive didnt match the old one but it works perfectly on the wii.

11 year old Wii stopped reading discs. Couldn’t find a decent way to clean the lens, which may have been the issue. Decided to buy this replacement drive because of the good reviews and decent price. Installation was very simple (similar to any computer drive replacement) and the drive works like it should. So far, very good.

At first I thought this is too good to be true.. But it really works. Our original Wii is ancient. It stopped playing discs over a year ago. Since then I have been looking to replace it. But I just wasnt a fan of the buying options out there. Somehow I ran across this. I had a techie friend verify that it would most likely work. He also helped install it for me. He was done within a couple hours. But he knew what he was doing and had the right tools. He specifically mentioned needing a Y-wing screwdriver. Really, this was a fantastic option for us. My kids are thrilled to be able to play their games again.

For years the Wii stopped working. I read about replacing the DVD drive would fix the none active Wii and it did. Now the family is back bowling and golfing at home, lol. You tube video helped with the installation. Also purchase the special screwdriver needed for the Wii, this will make it easier. Thank you

Ordered this as a replacement for my wii when it kept saying it was “unable to read the disc”. It came as advertised and was easy to install and is still working great!

Use YouTube to learn how to open the Wii console and diagnose problems with your Wii before buying. A helical gear was cracked on the Wii disc drive; therefore, this fixed the problem. This will not fix laser problems.

this is the second time I replaced the drive on my wii. instillation is extremly simple. find a good youtube video to show you how. Make sure you remember where each screw goes. there are several different sizes and 2 types of screws.

Did exactly as it said: reads Wii games only, which is exactly what I needed it for. I can finally play modded Brawl and Mario Kart Wii again.
