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.

This is exactly what we needed to get our Wii up and running again. After the original part could no longer read disks we tried several cleaning methods that didnt work. An easy Youtube search suggested replacing the disk reader. This disk reader is very cost effective. You DO need to have the proper Y shaped screw driver. It was so easy my 12 year old son replaced it while following a Youtube tutorial all on his own. Dont be intimidated by this repair. You can do it! I also love that since we were only replacing the disk reader (and not repurchasing a new WII) all of our data and game progress was still saved.

The rom is a good replacement it works as it should nice and quite and loads smooth however the tools they send with it are not worth the plastic it came in. Do yourself a favor and go to wally world and buy the electronic repair tool set in the tools section. Saved allot of frustration!!!!

So nice to find this part for our beloved family wii machine that stopped working. Our grandkids are happy to have it back playing their favorite games.

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

It came with the tools to open up the wii and works perfectly

I am not tech savvy at all, but my Wii died and I knew it was the drive. Purchased this, watched a Youtube video, and it works again! Thank you!!

The replacement drive works and, fortunately, is relatively easy to install, even with no previous experience fixing consoles or devices. However, I initially thought it to be broken because the drive was not accepting any disks. I finally noticed that it was missing the white strip that was present on my already broken drive (and the advertised photo), and was able to carefully transfer it over so that it is fully functional. It appears that I am not the first one with this issue. As mentioned by others, the product appears to be used and possibly removed from other broken Wiis (which may explain the missing part). I cannot speak to the quality of the tools included, as I used my own. The response to my request for help by the seller was for me to purchase another drive and then they would refund me $20.

Exactly what I needed tonget the old wii up and running again

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.
