In this video I clean the disk drive of a Nintendo Wii for a friend of mine. Music: www.bensound.com If you would like to support these videos, please click here steadyhq.com/t...
This tutorial was what I needed. I've seen lots of videos showing how to tear down the whole assembly, but I only wanted to see how to access the disc drive for cleaning with minimal amount of effort.
Thanks for sharing how to clean the disk drive. Most videos just replace the unit which is as much as a whole new unit. Thanks for answering my question. Hope the comment, like and sub helps get this video seen.
@@txubbsy don’t clean the disk reader with grease, I assume they only used the grease for the moving mechanism and cleaned everything else with rubbing alcohol.
The stupid wii I bought for one dollar has the most concentrated odor of pee and I just spent four hours taking it all apart and cleaning it The ony thing I couldn't clean with ipa is the cloth masking the disk drive opening and the drive assembly I'm exhausted
Take it apart carefully. Make pictures to document everything. Make sure to document where all the different screws go. Then clean it with Q-Tips and something like IPA or windowcleaner. Be very careful with the laser lens. Then put it back together.
Anytime i put a disk into the drive it keeps making the noise like the drive is still taking the disk but its all the way in but it just spits it out. Is there anything i can do?
Take the housing of and try it again. Then you see if something is hindering the disk. Maybe the sensor that detects the disk is dirty. Maybe the mechanism is clogged up with dust.
