Wii not reading discs (unmodded)> Where to repair

**paul911** · 31-10-15, 01:52 PM

In-laws Wii is not reading discs.
Hardly been used, so I'm assuming dirty faulty lens.
Is it worth fixing and any ideas in Sydney where?

Have you tried a lens cleaning disc?

If the disc spins, it's probably a laser fault.

Might not be worth the repair cost, depending on the model.

This may be an option?

Its about $70 for a new laser supplied & fitted(assuming this is the issue).
