![]() ![]() A concern of throwing the precision off by a cleaning disc brushes whacking the eye at such speed. It moves in such very small increments sideways, swiveling and popping that tiny laser eye up and down. I shy from any cleaning dis or even an insert cleaning pad due to the sensitivity of the laser servo inside. There is no physical contact of the laser eye and the drive is well protected from any dust. This leads me to question if a cleaning disc is even needed. When you disassembled your Wii were there any dust on the inside? Unlike a PC motherboard, when I replaced the laser assembly in mine, I was impressed in the pristine cleanliness of the inside of the Wii. Still, I had to clean the leans after owning it from a few years. I bought my Wii brand new and it was "adult owned" in a non-smokers house for it's entire life. I'd probably have more, but I'm rarely searching the wild these days and eBay prices are whacked.īut even so, the lens can apparently get pretty dirty juts with normal use.

Also, sorry to hear you had bad luck with your Wii laser in the past, Ziggy. This isn’t a problem as far as Nintendo is concerned because they only ever intended for the end user to play Wii games in that drive, and never multimedia discs.ĭo feel free to double-check me on that because it’s all second-hand information. Apparently the laser in the Wii was never meant to read CD data. Here’s where it gets a little esoteric.Īpparently (insert grain of salt here) CD lasers use different wave lengths of light to read CDs than DVDs. Hackers bypassed that easy enough, but CDs are a different matter. Wii Modders were able to allow the Wii to play DVD videos just by software modification because Wii games are written on DVD optical media Nintendo just didn’t want to pay the license fee for DVD videos. Last time I asked about playing CDs on Wii I was told that it was physically impossible. I don’t claim to be an expert on Wii modifications. if I can manage to find the darn thing in my horde.Ĭan the Wii drive not read CDs at all though? I did a quick look and didn't see any homebrew CD player apps. Samsonlonghair wrote:Come to think of it, the Wii doesn’t play audio CDs, does it? That would mean that many CD cleaners wouldn’t work. ![]()
