My Wii had problems playing SSBB and the SD card slot was broken. So I gave it to my dad to get it fixed, but he didn't send it to Nintendo. When I got it back ALL OF MY MEMORY WAS GONE! The memory data, the channels, even my Wii Shop Channel account was deleted! I've looked on the internet about these problems and I haven't heard a thing about losing memory when getting the Wii fixed for these problems. Does anyone know about this, like if I can get it back or if it's the fault of the company?
@DDFawfulGuy wow that sucks. who repaired it? I've never heard of anything like that happening. although nintendo always recommends to back up your data when sending the Wii/DS/3DS in. I'm wondering if your Wii Shop Channel info is still in the server since it is linked to your Wii. I wonder also if whomever repaired your Wii (if it wasn't Nintendo) changed your Wii completely since everything is gone.
From the bill I got with Wii when my dad gave it to me, the company is called
"CD 24-7".
It's too bad I couldn't save a back up data since the SD card slot was part of the problem. By the way, the bill says in the description: Nintendo Wii DVD Drive Laser Replacement / Motherboard Repairs 15493365. It costs £40, but now I'm sure that the SD card slot works now, and I can play SSBB on it...
do you think they will refuse to repair your wii if you have homebrew? my wii drive wont start when i put in a dual layer disc, but this is not a hacking result, it just appeared randomly
@BIueFalcon I don't think they'll refuse to repair it. But for sure they'll reverse any unofficial modifications and charge you for whatever work is done on the Wii.
@VIsiTation hey, sorry been busy playing Zelda, lol. Honestly I'm not sure if after updating the wii the update would leave any traces of the HB app. I know probably the best way to get rid of it MIGHT be to reformat the drive but you would also lose any DLC and save files you might have. You should be fine but not really sure. Sorry. :-/
@WiiDareYou well i can no longer reformat it cause i dont have the HBC, but if iam able to use letterbomb to reinstall the HBC i could reformat it, get rid of all the other problems and send it to nintendo for the disc drive repair, but i have VC games, so iam not going to reformat ;-;
@Blue1000ish hey, sorry about the super late response. If you still have the problem please tell me, which game is it that you are putting in the wii? I want to know if is a single layered or double layered disk.
@OriginalMergatroid well, technically the video is not about how to send the Wii for repair but rather that sending the Wii for repair IS the best option to fix the infamous SSBB problem. The instructions on "how to send it" were just to emphasize the importance on following Nintendo's instructions when packing and shipping the console to them.
@ilyktosk8 yes it is still free and they (nintendo) extended the issue by now covering Metroid Trilogy, Metroid Onther M, and Samurai Warrios 3. It is free to fix and to ship. Go to the nintendo website and follow the instructions.
@mark12130 No, go to the website and follow the instructions. The envelop contained a prinout of the work order. Your best bet is to call Nintendo's customer support or go to the website so you know exactly what to do. Make sure you follow all their instructions exactly as they say. =)
I have some questions: What's the paper you put with it? Who do you send it to? How do you send it to them? and What do you put with the Wii and the game?
@Bluehunter8 yeah that's what happened to me as well when I first experienced the error. It was fine for a year or so and then one day it started failing. So send it in! don't delay. =)
@Flare139cprocks SSBB: Super Smash Brothers Brawl. If your Wii can't read this game (and Other M) that means that your Wii has the "SSBB Issue" where your Wii can't read double-layered Wii disks properly. GS will NOT fix this issue (they might exchange your Wii if lucky), What you need to do is to call Nintendo and set up a repair for it. If you're in the States the issue is fixed for free provided you have Brawl and that you haven't modded in any way, shape, or form your Wii.
@TheNathanNS It was free. My Wii is day-one release Wii so I got it back in November 2006. As I have mentioned, the SSBB is a mass error so it is considered a "recall" which NIntendo has fallen short of calling it as such. So IT IS FREE (at least here in NA). HOWEVER, if your Wii is experiencing ANY OTHER issue, those ARE NOT free.
@TheBestBrawler I don't really think they will. If you already took apart your Wii then most likely you broke any seal that it might've had showing that you haven't done so; thus voiding the warranty. Since the Brawl issue is fixed for free (provided you live in the USA) you don't lose anything by sending it and see if they (Nintendo) don't noticed you opened it already. If you modded it then they won't fix it.
@WiiDareYou lol owell I guess I'm going to have to find a new dvd drive somewhere.. anyways I've actually taken my wii apart SO MANY TIMES that I managed to break 1 of the parts where the screws goes in so there is a small hole there now lol and I even use the right screwdrivers for each screw, I also have memorized where each screw is suppose to go 0.o lol they would definetely know that I've already taken it apart.
i cant even play my ssbb on subspace emissary..... ( wen pit finds mario at the beggining of the game) it gives me a choice to play mario or pit and wen i choice then it says disks error wen it loading ........
@Sastahio I got it from the NIntendo website. You gotta make sure that the disk error is on SSBB, otherwise you'll be charged to repair it. Since youtube won't allow links to be posted, here is the path to follow: Go to the nintendo website, then click on support, then on: disk read errors, then on: "Unable to read the disc" or "Disc could not be read" Messages, then on: list of specific game issues, then on: SSB Brawl, and then follow the instructions on how to set up the repair.
So did it work for this guy before? My SSBB has some kinda milky, faint stain in between the CD layers. It has a scratch on it but I also went to a store with a cd repair machine and its the same as before : "Unable to read disc" please help, ty
@CristianDMusic Maybe the error is on the disk and not the Wii? do you have Metroid Trilogy? that one is also double-layered so if it doesn't read it perhaps it's the Wii. How long ago did you buy SSBB? I would've tried to exchange the disk as supposed to "repair" is. It has been my experience that those disk-buffing machines make the disk totally unreadable instead of repairing it. =/
@WiiDareYou Nah, the milky white stain was my brother. Some kinda thing that helps the cd read better. I sent my wii and SSBB to repair since I knew it wasn't that. The cd was working but after 5 trys of putting it bak in, its all good
@peter10195 As far as I know yes. Go to the nintendo website, then click on support, then on: disk read errors, then on: "Unable to read the disc" or "Disc could not be read" Messages, then on: list of specific game issues, then on: SSB Brawl, and then follow the instructions on how to set up the repair. BTW, are you in the US?
@ladyzman217ful No you don't, this is an issue that fell into the category of "recall" (although Nintendo stop short of calling it that). However, you do need to send Brawl along with you Wii (I guess to prove that you are experiencing the SSBB problem, idk). Go to the Nintendo support website to get all the info needed to send it in. You can also call the Nintendo support number.
@HeyyimPatricia Oh no, Wii-Lite.com is my website. You can call Nintendo by phone or go to nintendo support at nintendo.com support. there you'll find the page for the double-layer disk reading issue. Just take it from there, that's what I did. =)
@HeyyimPatricia Well patricia, the double layer or SSBB issue is basically when the disk cannot be read. so what you need to do is follow this path (i cannot post direct link, youtube won't allow links to be posted). nintendo website, support, troubleshooting & repair, game disks: all problems with SSBB, all game disk problems, no disc found message. once you're in that page follow the instructions.
@TheMasterOfSoccer7 but a lot of people, just like me, find out that the cleaning kit is a temporary to null solution to the problem. I bought the official lense cleaning kit by Nintendo and while it worked for a couple weeks, after that, it wouldn't work even if I cleaned it again. So this is the best, non-mod, way of fixing this issue. Trust me.
@WiiDareYou read your response again. (a lot of people) maybe it's just their luck. just like it is their luck weather or not the wii is going to have that issue in the first place
@TheMasterOfSoccer7 I think you're missing the point here. The point is that if the SSBB happens THIS is the BEST long term solution to the issue as supposed to mod it yourself or having to use the cleaner every so many days until it doesn't work anymore. Luck or not. Nintendo doesn't just "clean" the lenses, they REPLACE the defective part. That's a fact, it's on the work order. And most importantly for FREE!
@WiiDareYou i get your point i'm just saying that (in my position) i am going to try the lense cleaner and if that turns out bad, i'll send it in for repair. is it really for free? if so, why?
@TheMasterOfSoccer7 OIC, sorry for the misunderstanding. As far as I know it is still free because the issue was being experienced by so many people that it was considered a "recall" alas "the red ring of death". However Nintendo was careful not to call it that and instead suggested that "Based on the problem your system is experiencing, it appears your Wii console needs to be repaired."
Now since I already sent mine for repair I can't verify anymore if it's still free. You should call them.
OMFG YESSSSSSS!!! it only took 3 days!!!!!! FUCK YA! I mailed mine in yesterday and it was received by them today at noon!!! OMG THAT MEANS I COULD HAVE IT BACK BY THIS WEEKEND!!!!
@RonWeasley41 Hmm, now that sounds like a disk location disk and not the SSBB issue. The SSBB issue is because some launch/early Wii's can't read the double-layer disks. Your issue is so specific that I believe might be a scratch on the surface of the disk. Unless, certain characters are located on the second layer of the disk. Do you get an error messag on the screen or what exactly happens?
@WiiDareYou i cant be too specific. anyways i left my wii on too long. thats the problem. now i cant even play as pokemon trainer, pit, and olimar. my cousin did the one up there. ^
@RonWeasley41 that's a bummer, idk what to tell you. have you actually tried to clean the lenses? gamestop sales the cleaning kits. did you check the disk if it's scratched at all? keep an eye on the issue, if the game eventually doesn't load at all then you could send it to Nintendo as part of the SSBB issue.
I sent my wii in for repairs, they were gonna do it for free, but then thay ent it back, unrepaired, because they said it had"unofficial content, such as the homebrew cannel". Anyone no what the heck that is? I never have had a "homebrew channel"
Yo I got a Wii prob. I can't play my black ops because everytime I start up black ops it says "Error occured. Please Eject dis and turn off the power. Refer to your manual for trouble shooting." I tried the suggestion for taking the cable out and waiting 5 mins. Plugged it in and tried to play. But I didn't even get passed the Treyarch loading screen... :( Any suggestions?
@ManofEpicness Not really, I look online and it seems that there might be a "problem" with the console. Is it doing it just with Black-ops? A friend of mine seems to have a freezing problem with B-Ops when he loads it, from time to time the game will freeze.
Okay....we called the nintendo wii company and delivered the ssbb cd and wii by fedex...and we just send it on Sunday November 28, 2010....my question is when will my come?!?.....cause they delivered the wii and my ssbb cd today:D....*sob sob* I miss my wii
@katloverSharon Sorry for the late answer, you should have gotten it back by now. If not, it depends on so many things it's hard to tell. If you don't have your Wii back yet, call Nintendo to check the progress on your work order.
@norlandanielbustillo ah pero es bn tranki....pos si el call of duty black ops yo lo tengo para wii y esta excelente man,..por si lo queres considerar pa esta navidad...salio mucho mejor d lo q esperaba...asi armamos unas rumbas online
So how does this Nintendo calling thing work? Do you just simply call them and report the problem, and then they send you a box in which you store the Wii and stuff... and then you just send it back? And does this also work in countries that aren't listed on the Wiiconnect24 thing? Because I Iive in Slovenia( Europe ). So in order for me to get online, I need to connect me self through Austria.
@markolipovec You have to call them and follow their instructions. They'll send you an email with the postage (USA) I'm not sure how it works for EU nations. You should call your local Nintendo support for more info.
@norlandanielbustillo a mi se me jodio mi wii hoy cuando le meti black ops y le meti un dvd cleaner y me lo jodio del todo...ahora no leee nada....pero por aki en tegus no hay nada...mira llama a videojuegos alex dicen q ahi los arreglan y keda en mall miraflores en frente d la u pedagogica
@rolandito1ymedio si, fui hace dos semanas y me lo arreglaron, pero el viernes estaba jugando metroid other m y se trabo... meti brawl y lo mismo... entonces regrese a la tienda, que queda a tras de mi casa, por suerte... lo que le habian hecho fue cambiar el lente, pero volvio a fallar y tengo garantia ^^
@rolandito1ymedio es mi wii es del 2006 y el lente ya estaba gastado... y brawl, other m, y metroid trilogy son de doble capa y con un lente asi no se lee ninguno...
@norlandanielbustillo ya tengo mi wii lo mande a rreglar ahi y el dueño es el man d red virtual va? es pije trankilo ese man,,...tenes planeado comprarte black ops?
It isnt too late to send it right? They still dont charge? Well idk about my problem because it reads it in MOST places. e.g When I go to to Event Co-Op i cant play the 5 event and the Disc cannot be read thingy comes up. By the way how long would it take to get it back from houston?
4.7gb dvdR always play great dvd5 horrible picture, Double layers have Stutter problems in the dvd9 but there just to many problems and the price the Double layer company are charging is enormous.Im not feeling safe to buy any more double layer disc till they improve the film problems. stay away from hard drive as well they brake a lot.
i haz a question to u, i'm about to send mine in, and just a little it ago, my brawl started having a probablem, and when i got "metroid prime other " it didnt work, if only double lens game dont work, that still considered the brawl prob. right>?
just wondering, how common is this issue, and does it only affect american wiis? cause i've got a PAL wii (i live in the UK), and i have had brawl and a wii since june 2008 (when brawl came out here).
i just want to know more about the issue in case it can and if happens to me.
Are you sure it's actually FREE and all you have to do is send them the wii and they will fix the disc errors 0_0 please, I'm in bad crisis here -__-"
OMG!!! I'm going to send my wii to Nintendo cauce when they send it back to me, I want to feel the feeling what Link is feeling when he opens a treasure chest! XD
@WiiDareYou so they replace your disc Drive?? Sent mine but brawl discompose the lens and so any disc was readable...so if they replace the disc drive...obviosly all my disc wiil be readable...right??
@Khristian3500 I read the invoice or work order sheet and it said: "replaced part... blah blah blah". SSBB and Metroid Trilogy were the only disks my Wii could not read, the rest were fine. =)
@candycrown1 Nothing, it is basically a "recall" so it is totally free. Not even S&H. Now if you want them to fix something else then it'll cost you, but to fix the double-layer issue, $0. =)
the bottom and sides look really well padded. however you forgot to pad the top of it. i think you assume the box will stay right side up the entire trip.
@okron1k Yeah, I didn't pad it too well ontop but the disk case was there so I guess that protected it. Although since Nintendo changed the old drive and put a new one I assume it wasn't a big deal the lack of padding ontop. ;-)
@Sixtiesera No you don't. As I have mentioned it is a free service because the issue is considered a recall. However you could be charged for any other repair not related to the SSBB issue.
Yea,it seems now Nintendo does the an error has occured repair thing for free.I was scared cuz I thought I had to pay.They cover the shipping cost and everything it seems.I was confused because dont you have to pay if your Wii needs repairs?
@zeokenX While you do need to pay for any other repairs, due to the frequency and amount of complains of the double-layered disk issue, this issue went from being just a random issue to be considered a manufacture's issue, just like a "recall". That's why it's free. =)
Ehh,you have any idea in what Nintendo does exactly to fix the issues? I hope its more than cleaning because before I sent my shit off I was getting that "error has occur"with other games as well,which make me believe its my laser messing up to a certain extent because it wasnt the brick styled errors Ive seen on Youtube,the game would let me play for a bit then BAM "an error has occured"
im planning on sending my wii to nintendo to get this fixed, but it says on their website that i need the receipt or sumthing, i dont have this anymore, do i need it as disc cleaning is seperate from warrenty?
@Elliotjd12345 You don't need the reciept. what you need is to send your copy of SSBB. You could try the Nintendo official lense cleaner but that'll be only temporary. The long term solution is sending it in. go again to the support site and read all the instructions to make sure you send everything they ask you.
@WiiDareYou so heres the problem with my wii. we jst got the game mario kart wii[USED]. we played it 4 a 2days. and then it stops reading it and it stoped reading my other games as well. its probably the reading laser inside rite cuz it makes a weird sound 2. by your experties, what would you say the problem is and how much would you think it would cost to repair it? and do i have to pay nintendo 2 send it back?
@dqmjboy94 Wow, this seems like an issue non related to the SSBB. Do you have SSBB? if so tell nintendo you have the SSBB double-layer issue and send it back. They'll REPLACE the drive for you not just "clean it". That's what they did with mine. ;-)
Nintendo will replace and continually do so as you need them. I am on my 5th Wii (Do not smoke near your Wii). Definitely send it in, it sucks to wait but having them fix it extends the warranty. Don't opt for a Wii to be shipped to you first either, as your savegames wont transfer (if the game has online).
@esLangvin Yeah I was very fortunate too because sending my Wii not only solved my SSBB issue but it also solved my "rattling drive" noise issue. So it solved two issues at once. It's good that Nintendo gave you freebies for your inconvenience, I've never heard of Sony or MS doing same for others, (my neph actually had to send his PS3 in 3 times already and not even a "sorry" from Sony for his troubles). I should consider putting my Wii in a bubble too. Just in case. =)
Holyshit o.o I Sent off my Wii last Thurs and now just checked my status,they already are sending it back in the mail o.o.Thats fast + they told me they replaced the old disc drive with a new one.Wow Nintendo kicks ass
@zeokenX Awesome, I'm glad it worked great for you too. I;m telling you people! Stop listening to all these DIY dumb repairs and just send it in!!! =)
When i play my Super Smash Brothers Brawl The Versus and classic work but when i play some missions on SubSpace Emissary the tv turns blank and then it freezes then i have to turn off the wii and turn it back on
Hi, WiiDareYou! i have the disc reading problem, with all of my discs. do you know, if it could be solved at a videogame store? because, i dont want to sent the wii anywhere. (im hungarian, and in there isnt anything in my country, where i could send it in. thanks for the answer.
@danitabori Since you have the issue with "all of your disks" then it sounds to me that there is something else wrong with your Wii. The problem with taking it to the video game store (asuming that is a retail store) is that they might only exchange it and if you have WW/VC games and Wi-Fi game files saved they are not transferable, thus you'll lose all that info if your Wii is exchanged, Sorry. =(
@Psieucho I am not too sure about such error. I know that MP1 and Echos are on one layer of the DVD and MP3 is on the sub-layer of the DVD. Since MP3 cannot be read I could guess that your issue is also due to the "dirty lense" (SSBB issue) or double-layer issue. Do you have SSBB? if not I don't know if Nintendo will repair it because one condition to send in the Wii is to send along the SSBB game disk. You should call Nintendo customer support. Let me know how it goes.
Hi, ok as for the warranty my Wii was day-one Wii and it was repaired just last year, three years later, so they'll repair it warranty or not. Consider this issue an un-official "recall"so it'll get repaired warranty or not. As for the NTSC Wii in PAL region you should call your region's repair center. If you're in EU go to Nintendo of Europe site, anywhere else go to the Nintendo site and pick your region. Let us know what happened. =)
I'm glad it works. Like I said, why mess around with home remedies when this in a Nintendo manufature's issue and they'll replace the drive for free! =)
@fgfcgcb I know there is one in Los Angeles area, but I know there is more than one. If you call Nintendo to set up a repair work order they'll set you up with FedEx and you can see then where your "local" repair center is located.
I don't know if they will, I know the HB channel voids the warranty but the SSBB issue is a "recall" issue and that doesn't fall in the warranty category. Also I know they'll delete the channel for sure. Might want to find out before sending it in.
hey does anyone know why my cousins SSBB doesnt let her play as Zelda/Shiek or Yoshi it says disc could not be read & look at manuel

Sastahio 7 months ago
@Sastahio I got it from the NIntendo website. You gotta make sure that the disk error is on SSBB, otherwise you'll be charged to repair it. Since youtube won't allow links to be posted, here is the path to follow: Go to the nintendo website, then click on support, then on: disk read errors, then on: "Unable to read the disc" or "Disc could not be read" Messages, then on: list of specific game issues, then on: SSB Brawl, and then follow the instructions on how to set up the repair.

So did it work for this guy before? My SSBB has some kinda milky, faint stain in between the CD layers. It has a scratch on it but I also went to a store with a cd repair machine and its the same as before : "Unable to read disc" please help, ty
CristianDMusic 7 months ago
@CristianDMusic Maybe the error is on the disk and not the Wii? do you have Metroid Trilogy? that one is also double-layered so if it doesn't read it perhaps it's the Wii. How long ago did you buy SSBB? I would've tried to exchange the disk as supposed to "repair" is. It has been my experience that those disk-buffing machines make the disk totally unreadable instead of repairing it. =/

@WiiDareYou Nah, the milky white stain was my brother. Some kinda thing that helps the cd read better. I sent my wii and SSBB to repair since I knew it wasn't that. The cd was working but after 5 trys of putting it bak in, its all good

@ladyzman217ful No you don't, this is an issue that fell into the category of "recall" (although Nintendo stop short of calling it that). However, you do need to send Brawl along with you Wii (I guess to prove that you are experiencing the SSBB problem, idk). Go to the Nintendo support website to get all the info needed to send it in. You can also call the Nintendo support number.

HeyyimPatricia 1 year ago
@HeyyimPatricia Well patricia, the double layer or SSBB issue is basically when the disk cannot be read. so what you need to do is follow this path (i cannot post direct link, youtube won't allow links to be posted). nintendo website, support, troubleshooting & repair, game disks: all problems with SSBB, all game disk problems, no disc found message. once you're in that page follow the instructions.

@WiiDareYou well a lot of people just buy a lens cleaning kit and it usually works for them so yea and it's only like $10
TheMasterOfSoccer7 10 months ago
@TheMasterOfSoccer7 but a lot of people, just like me, find out that the cleaning kit is a temporary to null solution to the problem. I bought the official lense cleaning kit by Nintendo and while it worked for a couple weeks, after that, it wouldn't work even if I cleaned it again. So this is the best, non-mod, way of fixing this issue. Trust me.
WiiDareYou 10 months ago
@WiiDareYou read your response again. (a lot of people) maybe it's just their luck. just like it is their luck weather or not the wii is going to have that issue in the first place
TheMasterOfSoccer7 10 months ago
@TheMasterOfSoccer7 I think you're missing the point here. The point is that if the SSBB happens THIS is the BEST long term solution to the issue as supposed to mod it yourself or having to use the cleaner every so many days until it doesn't work anymore. Luck or not. Nintendo doesn't just "clean" the lenses, they REPLACE the defective part. That's a fact, it's on the work order. And most importantly for FREE!
WiiDareYou 10 months ago
@WiiDareYou i get your point i'm just saying that (in my position) i am going to try the lense cleaner and if that turns out bad, i'll send it in for repair. is it really for free? if so, why?
TheMasterOfSoccer7 10 months ago
@TheMasterOfSoccer7 OIC, sorry for the misunderstanding. As far as I know it is still free because the issue was being experienced by so many people that it was considered a "recall" alas "the red ring of death". However Nintendo was careful not to call it that and instead suggested that "Based on the problem your system is experiencing, it appears your Wii console needs to be repaired."
Now since I already sent mine for repair I can't verify anymore if it's still free. You should call them.
WiiDareYou 10 months ago
@TheMasterOfSoccer7 Hey, I just checked the support page and the repair is still completely free including S&H. Here's the link to the repair page:

RonWeasley41 1 year ago
@RonWeasley41 Hmm, now that sounds like a disk location disk and not the SSBB issue. The SSBB issue is because some launch/early Wii's can't read the double-layer disks. Your issue is so specific that I believe might be a scratch on the surface of the disk. Unless, certain characters are located on the second layer of the disk. Do you get an error messag on the screen or what exactly happens?
Please be as specific as possible.

@WiiDareYou i cant be too specific. anyways i left my wii on too long. thats the problem. now i cant even play as pokemon trainer, pit, and olimar. my cousin did the one up there. ^
RonWeasley41 1 year ago
@RonWeasley41 that's a bummer, idk what to tell you. have you actually tried to clean the lenses? gamestop sales the cleaning kits. did you check the disk if it's scratched at all? keep an eye on the issue, if the game eventually doesn't load at all then you could send it to Nintendo as part of the SSBB issue.

@zeokenX While you do need to pay for any other repairs, due to the frequency and amount of complains of the double-layered disk issue, this issue went from being just a random issue to be considered a manufacture's issue, just like a "recall". That's why it's free. =)

@Elliotjd12345 You don't need the reciept. what you need is to send your copy of SSBB. You could try the Nintendo official lense cleaner but that'll be only temporary.

dqmjboy94 1 year ago
@dqmjboy94 Wow, this seems like an issue non related to the SSBB. Do you have SSBB? if so tell nintendo you have the SSBB double-layer issue and send it back. They'll REPLACE the drive for you not just "clean it". That's what they did with mine. ;-)
WiiDareYou 1 year ago
Nintendo will replace and continually do so as you need them. I am on my 5th Wii (Do not smoke near your Wii). Definitely send it in, it sucks to wait but having them fix it extends the warranty. Don't opt for a Wii to be shipped to you first either, as your savegames wont transfer (if the game has online).
esLangvin 1 year ago
@esLangvin Yeah I was very fortunate too because sending my Wii not only solved my SSBB issue but it also solved my "rattling drive" noise issue. So it solved two issues at once. It's good that Nintendo gave you freebies for your inconvenience, I've never heard of Sony or MS doing same for others, (my neph actually had to send his PS3 in 3 times already and not even a "sorry" from Sony for his troubles). I should consider putting my Wii in a bubble too. Just in case. =)

@danitabori Since you have the issue with "all of your disks" then it sounds to me that there is something else wrong with your Wii. The problem with taking it to the video game store (asuming that is a retail store) is that they might only exchange it and if you have WW/VC games and Wi-Fi game files saved they are not transferable, thus you'll lose all that info if your Wii is exchanged, Sorry. =(

But with MP1 no errors nothing

Psieucho 1 year ago
@Psieucho I am not too sure about such error. I know that MP1 and Echos are on one layer of the DVD and MP3 is on the sub-layer of the DVD. Since MP3 cannot be read I could guess that your issue is also due to the "dirty lense" (SSBB issue) or double-layer issue. Do you have SSBB? if not I don't know if Nintendo will repair it because one condition to send in the Wii is to send along the SSBB game disk. You should call Nintendo customer support. Let me know how it goes.

Hi, ok as for the warranty my Wii was day-one Wii and it was repaired just last year, three years later, so they'll repair it warranty or not. Consider this issue an un-official "recall"so it'll get repaired warranty or not. As for the NTSC Wii in PAL region you should call your region's repair center. If you're in EU go to Nintendo of Europe site, anywhere else go to the Nintendo site and pick your region. Let us know what happened. =)
