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

Never fixed anything in my life before. You tube videos with step by step information on how to do it helped a lot. Buy the triwing screw driver set if you don’t have one.

I received the drive a bit late (May 2, 2020) but it is fine because of the COVID-19. Seller already did a great job. I replaced this drive with the broken one and it works. Now, my children can play Wii again while they are staying at home. I hope everybody can go outdoor very soon. Note: you will need a tri-wing screwdriver to open the Wii console.

My disc drive on my wii stopped working and was making clicking noises. I did some utube searches to trouble shoot and they all led to the laser that reads the disc. It costs the same and was much easier to replace the whole drive with this replacement drive. It came with all of the special tools needed and took about 20 minutes to replace.

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

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.

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.

The unit I received didn’t look too good…as if it had been exposed to high humidity or salt water. Lots of areas showing corrosion. It looked much worse than the broken Wii drive it was replacing; however, it works! Followed some online tutorials and was able to install in less than 30 minutes. You’ll need some small tools, including a Y-head driver, but overall a pretty easy install. I worry about the longevity given the poor condition, but so far it’s working fine. My kids are excited to play some of their old Wii games again. It is working with our GameCube disks, even though the description says it shouldn’t.

Great product, fix my Wii right up cheaply internet instructions, YOUTUBE! Made it very easy just watch your screws! That is the hardest part. Ps. You have to buy special screw drivers to install it in the Wii.

Thank goodness for this item! Our 14 yo Wii ground to a halt earlier this year. We tried a drive cleaner, but there was no improvement. While looking around at used Wiis, I came across this. I’m good at following directions (I’ve replaced the sensor array in a Roomba, this is easier), so with the help of a YouTube video, I replaced the innards. Now we have a working Wii again! You need special tri-wing screwdrivers - just one small one really, and a tiny Phillips head along with a very small one. My tiny one came from a watch repair tool set I have. There was one screw that fought me and I couldn’t remove it - the center screw that holds the black faceplate on under the flap doors. I rotated the faceplate around until it came loose from the screw, and the rest was smooth sailing. I apologize for not knowing the sizes of my various screw drivers, but I’m not sure if most people have any this small in their homes. I’m crafty and handy so have amassed quite the tool collection over the years. Nintendo should consider reissuing the original Wii. It’s much-loved in our house, even though we have a Switch and an XBox. May we enjoy another 14 years with our Wii!

Cheap and easy way to keep your old Wii working - the optical drive is the most obvious component to fail. This is the second time Ive had to replace one. Not exactly easy to disassemble a Wii to do the replacement , but thats not the fault of this product here.
