SOURCE: Some wii & gamecube disc will play .others

Usually when this happens there is a problem with the disk itself not the console. First look at it in the light and see if its dirty or scratched up. If it is indeed dirty then use a lint free cloth. Such as a microfiber, or glasses cloth, Wipe in consistent stroke from the center to the outside in straight lines. Work your way around the disk. You may also dampen part of the rag and use it first then use the other part to dry it. Then try it again. I hope this helps, please rate this. Thank You

SOURCE: Philips DVD 724 doesn't read

Does the disc have a lot of scratches on the surface? Even the smallest scratch can make your disc unaccessable. Try a clean disc and see if the problem repeats itself. If it does, then the problem might be that the laser in your DVD is dirty, and needs to be cleaned. This can be done with a cd drive cleaner kit, which should be available at just about any electronics/gaming store.
Otherwise it might need a bit of a checkup from your local tech repair shop.
Hope that helps.

SOURCE: We dropped our WII down

Well it's possible that you just plain out broke your disk drive?

You could try softmodding your wii to play games off a hard drive or sd card. but it is a somewhat difficult process and will take some time.

otherwise you could probably get it repaired by nintendo.

good luck

My wii will not read any of the disc

You can try Nintendo's Wii lens cleaning kit. Also, some older Wii units have trouble with dual layer discs, which pack more info onto a disk (Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Metroid Prime use dual layer discs). If your Wii is having trouble reading a dual layer disc you can try Nintendo's Wii lens cleaning kit for that too.

If after cleaning its lens your Wii still can't read any disks then you'll want to contact Nintendo.

What is wrong with my wii says this an has error occurred press the eject button remove the game disc and turn off the powe to the console please read the wii operations manual for further instructions

This error most often effects homebrewed Wiis. If you do not have homebrew installed on your Wii, and have not hacked it in any way, then you might have luck doing a system update. If that doesn't work, you'll probably want to contact Nintendo support.

Have a game the wii wont read

Hi, Check and clean the disc. If the disc has too many finger prints it will be harder for the Wii to read. If that doesn't work try a laser cleaner disc. Good luck

We dropped our WII down a few stairs. It turns on, but doesn't read the disc.

When inserting game disc it says "disc cannot be read. Refer to the wii operations manual."

  1. Refer to the Wii operations manual.
  2. Try cleaning the disc with a lint-free cloth. Wipe the disc in strait lines, not in a circle.
  3. Don't move the Wii around while there is a disc in it. Do this to prevent further damage.
  4. Try a different disc, preferably one that is much cleaner. If it doesn't work, there is an internal error with the Wii.

Unable to read the disc.

In most cases when the CD does not play it is possible that the optical head is a suspect. Sometimes it might pick up ordinary audio CD but will not play other formats. This indicates that the optical head is weak and so there is no detection or scanning of the CD . If the optical is working the tracks will be read immediately but with no scanning the laser head can be defective.
Sometimes certain cleaner disks will not be tracked to run for cleaning as it will not be read and so will reject. Hence it is ideal to manually clean the laser head eye using a cleaning swap /cotton bud with gentle pressure on the lens eye.
If there is no result then watch if the CD spins or tries to spin. If so the board seems to work unless a test is taken on the main board but the possibility of a defective optical head can be the suspected fault.
If any of the above seems otherwise we must recheck with possibilities of a malfunction of the main processor board

MY WII WON'T READ MY WII DISCS

Probably a dirty laser. You'll have to use a laser cleaning disc made for Wii. If that doesn't do it then it's most likely a bad laser. Not an easy self fix for a newbie. ?warrenty? then send it in to Nintendo.(you can find out on their web site) If not, then replacing the laser yourself or finding someone who can is the best bet. Actualy kinda cheap to buy a new laser(ships from Hong Kong), There are other causes for read errors, but I've found the laser to be the culprit most of the time. Could be just dirty,.. dust & cigarrette smoke can be cleaned with the cleaning discs but , the best way is of course to open the Wii and wipe the laser with a Qtip soaked with alcohol. But a Wii is not all that easy to open up. ($7 for cleaning disc, $9 for new laser, $90 to get Nintendo to fix it.)
