[bobenhmfn1]

yea black ops has been killing peoples' wiis because the game is at the very edge of the wii's capabilities and so it burns out your wii faster and its most likely to burn you lens out and you can just buy a new lens on amazon for really cheap.

Very informative video, but seriously dude, you sound like the guy in Silence of the lambs..."It rubs the lotion on it's skin.." Creepy

Just my luck. The Wii is apart and I go to your website to diagnose and it has malware. I can't even order a part.  Hope you're up n running soon.

[funnyhjk]

your website has malware :/

[ConsoleZombie]

@funnyhjk Yep we're working on getting rid of it. Hackers :(

[zachrecer]

good video, but I hate the voice.

[psp3602]

what is i have a modchip installed in there?

[digipalmatt]

The installation went great. No problems. But when I turned on the Wii the screen was completely black. What happened?

[ConsoleZombie]

@digipalmatt Did you use some kind of anti-static protection? Sounds like you might have zapped the motherboard. 

[digipalmatt]

@ConsoleZombie No, not that I know of.

[popohihihiko]

too fuking hard

[TheDom181]

this seems a little complicated, i can i get someone else to fix the laser?

[ConsoleZombie]

@TheDom181 We do repairs. Go to our store and look for the repair service category.

[TheDom181]

@ConsoleZombie thank you.I really appreciate it! :)

[pinoynacowboy]

Thanks for the post. I followed you instructions and was able to replace the laser lens in my Wii successfully. It took me about 45 minutes in all but that's only because I pause the video every now and then to verify that what I was doing was correct. Good job.

[ConsoleZombie]

@pinoynacowboy Congrats!

I would love this tutorial if it wasn't for the voice, it was a nice tutorial everything was explained pretty well but the voice it's just too annoying to hear for almost 6 minutes, everything else was wonderful though

[totiz09]

Not unless you're Harry Potter.
