Wii Problem

Ender · 8 Jan 2008 at 23:43

Got a Wii package for xmas including mario galaxy , resident evil 4 and harry potter. Stupidly i sold harry potter before testing the console out and found that the disk drive is broken :eek:

Argos (were i bought it from) mention that you need to return the entire package to the local depot- but obviously i cant do that and they dont seem to stock single wii console's

Any ideas would be welcome- is it within my rights to make them change the wii anyway?

Phone up Nintendo, they will ship you a brand new console out.

I am wondering if my disk drive is dodgy. Sometimes it fails to read discs and requires putting them in and out several times.

It should read any disc first time.

I know this may sound silly - but have you put the disc in the right way?? I put it in the wrong way once, without really thinking about it...

/shame

shouldn't think so, I put the disk facing the way the manual said, and it made a wierd grinding noise :eek:

oh, i didnt read the manual... I just put it in the way that felt natural to me which was shiny side facing right. Obviously when it didnt work I quickly realised that it was more logical for the dvd laser to be situated to the left of the slot so switched it round.

That, and if you had the Wii horizontally, you'd be putting games in upside down

LOL. Not to worry, I've done equally daft things in my time.
