Original DVD Drive Replacement for Nintendo Wii Game Console Plug-and-Play Unit

I followed the instructions on iFixit website to replace this drive and it was an easy job. Brought the old Wii back to life.

I thought Id try to replace my drive after having my Wii broken for a couple years. Im so glad I did. Now I can play my Just Dance games again!

Have had it for about 6 months now and it works perfectly. On a scale of 10 in difficulty to install I would give it a 7 if you have the proper tools it is not too hard to replace. Now if you have no idea what you are doing then do a search for a video to help you thru the process. I would recommend buying the complete unit since its not much more than single components and less difficult to replace.

Was a little worried that this wouldnt play Gamecube games but the drive I received works great and plays both Wii and Gamecube games. Super easy to install.

worked perfectly on my original wii. as others have stated, this is NOT NEW. its refurb/rebuilt etc. but for $20 who cares. as long as it works. takes 10 minutes to install. super easy. brought my wii back to life after collecting dust not being used for a few years!

My Wii stopped reading disks a few months ago. I couldnt find a replacement Wii around here. So I thought I would give replacing the drive a try. It actually worked. I found the instructions on ifixit.com. It all went according to the instructions and the new drive is reading disks and we are back to playing Wii.

Its been 7 years since I first bought my replacement and it continues to run like a charm. Be sure to study a teardown well in advance to be safest with your installation

My Wii DVD drive died and I really didnt want to buy a used Wii and have to replay all of my games to unlock stuff again. I found instructions online that detailed a complete teardown and made the replacement straightforward. Warning that you will need tri wing screwdrivers to take apart the Wii. Once installed it worked for Wii and GameCube games. My Wii will continue to entertain my family for years to come!

Ordered on Saturday afternoon, received Monday afternoon. Watched a few UTube videos, one by DeanInItYourself worked great for me. Like he keeps saying Slow Down & Be Patient. Labeled all the screws on a piece of cardboard in the order they came out. A lot of the screws are similar. The S / Tri Tip 2.0 Screwdriver that you need was included with the drive. Everything seems to be working. Wife is Happy Again !!

My Wii stopped reading discs so I installed this hard drive and my Wii works as good as new! Easy tutorials on youtube on how to do it so it was no problem.
