PlayStation 3 Distorted Picture

A somewhat common problem with the Nintendo Wii from a repairs stand point is a situation where the gamer puts a game or a DVD in the disc drive, and the console doesn't recognize the game or DVD. Sometimes this only happens for certain games or newer games, and sometimes this happens for all games. We recommend testing the game or disc itself because sometimes the games are poorly written or if previously used, possibly damaged. But in situations where the game works perfectly fine in a different console and the issue is not the discs themselves, usually the Nintendo Wii Not Reading games problem is due to a problem involving the laser. Sometimes the lasers become a bit loose or dirty and don't need to be replaced and other times the laser needs to be changed. You can detect early laser related problems if certain games or usually newer games are not reading. This is because some games require more energy from the laser then others. The Wii seems to have on average less laser issues then both its main competitors, the Sony PlayStation 3, and the Microsoft Xbox 360. The laser replacement for this console is generally very easy for our technicians and the success rate for Nintendo products in general is very high because the parts are better quality.

When replacing a laser one of the most important steps and aspects is the way the disc drive is removed and played back into the console. There is a special way to put the inside back together and doing something slightly wrong can lead to extensive internal damage. Incorrectly installing of the laser and packaging the console back up wrong, can lead to the system failing and or motherboard damage which is usually not repairable. Some of the online tutorials will help you fix your Wii temporarily but can lead to more future problems, in most cases more severe than the previous problem. It is also possible that the amateur repair can cause long term damage to your motherboard.

We also diagnose the unit to make sure it is running to optimal performance and will fix any other problem as part of the repair.
