Disc won’t spin after console being left on
I’m so stupid. I accidentally left my Wii running for probably a month or longer with a game paused. I completely forgot about it, and just so happened to remember randomly as I’ve been planning on starting another game.
The game was still up on the pause menu, but the music didn’t sound right (was playing Wind Waker), and I went to save it and it worked as normal until it said “error. Please restart the console and refer to Wii instruction manual.”
I restarted it, and then turned it back on, and noticed that it wasn’t spinning the disc anymore. I pressed the eject button and it worked as normal and same with reinserting it, but still no spin. I completely unhooked the power from the outlet and the back of the Wii, and then waited about 5 minutes and tried again with two separate discs and same thing. It would try, but then wouldn’t succeed in starting to spin it. I’ve taken the Wii apart now, because if anything it could just be really dirty (hopeful thinking) as this is my original Wii from 2007 that I’ve been playing since.
As soon as I opened up the disc compartment I noticed this thin filament wire around where the disc would spin. I’m not super knowledgeable on any of this stuff and I’m just going off of what I’m finding online and taking things really slow and cleaning what I can with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip as I go, but I can’t find anything online about this little wire that wraps around this area here (very much likely I’m just searching the wrong thing).
If anyone’s able to give me some insight, I’d really appreciate it. I’d love to be able to repair this myself if possible, but will also be willing to get this repaired elsewhere or replace the whole disc drive if this thing is shot.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?
