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

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

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.

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.

Our system hadnt been used in a while, mainly because the system was very temperamental about accepting and reading game disks. I found a site that walked through the steps to replace the drive (ifixit.com) and then ordered this replacement drive. Product appeared to be new, contrary to a few reviews here. Product arrived in just a few days, and the instructions on the other site were easy enough to follow, and replacement took about an hour or so. Note: you will need Tri-wing screwdriver for the replacement, and using separate containers for screws and parts is very helpful when disassembling and reassembling. Once everything was back together, the system fired up and works like new. Couldnt be happier.

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.

Replacing the drive was all that was needed to fix the Wii so it would once again play the game discs.

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.

My Wii broke down awhile ago where it stopped reading disks. After discovering that the disk reader had malfunctioned and was no longer operating properly I purchased this replacement disk reader and installed it myself. It worked perfectly and fixed the problem, now the wii has been working great so far. The reason as to why I rated this 4 stars is because one of the pieces on the inside was loose. It was a rubber part that secured one of the screws. In order to reattach the rubber piece I had to open up the disk reader. When I did so, I noticed that there was a ton of dust and other particles trapped inside. I cleaned it, but was disappointed that the company selling these parts did not clean them properly. It makes me wonder if they even opened it or checked the inside before shipping it off. You can refer to the picture to see how much dust was trapped inside. Overall, I am happy that it fixed the issue.

Perfect. Allows us to enjoy our Wii during this pandemic

Easy to install with help of YouTube. Works again!!! Have a RVL-001. So far so good week one!
