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

It works great

This drive worked as advertised for replacing the original drive in our 10 year old Wii. Does not come with instructions however you can find many step by step tutorials online. I have never fixed any electronic in my life and I had no problems. If I can do it it then I can assure you that you can too. Come to find out we all have a little bit of “nerd” hidden deep in our souls. So thankful that I took a chance on this replacement drive instead of buying a used console or new wii. The drive on a used console most likely will soon go out based on what I learned on different online forums so if your wii stopped working plan on buying a new console or buy a replacement drive. BTW.... you will need a tool set in addition to this drive. I learned the hard way and had to order one after receiving the drive. The tool kit is available on Amazon and varies in cost from $10 to $30 depending on how nice you want it.

Installed and working within 15 minutes. The disc drive in my wii was not reading the discs anymore, swapped it for this one from Amazon, and my son was playing games immediately. Received it very fast too!

Worked

Followed a YouTube tutorial to install (a must for this task I believe) and used the cheap special screwdrivers I bought for the job and the Wii is working like new again. Pretty easy job, cheap fix. This drive looks and feels exactly like the original. And just swapping the drive out kept all the game memory intact with no fuss. Definitely a better option than paying a lot more for a refurbished unit of unknown history.

The package was a little sketchy, but the product was in good shape. After installing the product worked well. My cube games will not work with the replacement drive. I have 7 cube games that won’t work with new drive!!☹️☹️

Kiddo was using the Wii and after swapping disks, it started choking and not reading them correctly. Quick Google search lead me to some how-to videos so I figured, Im handy, Ill give it a shot. The process itself was pretty simple but it does take some specialized tools. Trust me, I dont think you can avoid using the correct tools. That part took me two trips to get right. That is certainly not the fault of this drive though, thats Nintendo. Once I had what I needed, the installation went well and the new drive fixed the issue for a fraction of what it probably cost to have it repaired professionally. I did end up with an extra screw or three but they apparently werent critical... :)

The first one I received was dead so i got a free replacement and it worked like a charm.

Easy kit to replace the DVD reader on my Wii, once the Wii was opened up. This solved my issue. I followed the ifixit guide (text and pictures), but there are plenty of videos out there too. This kit came with the rubber grommets already which saved a few steps. The screws were too tight or corroded on my Wii, so RIP smudger and triwing screw driver, they lasted halfway. I saw another review mention filing the tip on the screwdriver down and I wish I had tried that first. The Philips head worked fine and survived. I’d also recommend having utility tweezers. Other than that, this kit has everything to switch out the DVD reader. I fired it up and it works fine. It seems a bit quieter than the old one was before it died. I only took a star because the tools were weak and I really could have used a more reliable triwing. Will have to see how long it holds up! Hopefully a long time, because I’m not too eager to track all those screws again. Saved me a few bucks fixing a part than replacing an old system.

Tools didn’t come with package as stated
