Okay guys.  I need some advice.

I just got my Wii back from being repaired.  Only it wasn't repaired.  NoA didn't do it because, even though it was a problem with the disc drive, I had downloaded the Homebrew Channel at one point.  Even though I deleted it, they said the data was still altered so that they couldn't fix it.  I'm still wondering if that means they COULDN'T fix it, or they WOULDN'T fix it because of unauthorized software.

So I'm stuck.  I really don't want to buy a new one, for many reasons.  Do you guys know of any way I could get repairs done by someone other than Nintendo, or if you have a way I can fix it myself?

I don't see why downloading something would alter the disc drive, so I'm assume its because they just won't do it. I'm not very learned in the technology replacement department, but couldn't you just buy the part you need replaced and do it yourself? If you're not good with machines, a technology store might do it for you.

I remember when my DS got wacked up, all I wanted to do was open it up and look inside, since something involving the start switch got loose (you could hear it rattling around). The problem was, the screws in the DS were a special design that I couldn't open with anything I could find in stores. I could see them doing the same thing for the wii too, so maybe opening it might be a problem

Of course they wouldn't repair it for you. You modified your system and its content. Nobody likes that, it also makes it harder to fix the software should something like that break.

But since this is hardware, you'd either have to do it yourself or find someone else.

Had you said something about this earlier, I would have helped you virginize it but I think it's too late now.

of course, now you can reinstall the homebrew channel, get a usb drive and play games off of that i guess.

How does that work?

Nintendo probably already scanned your serial number so they probably won't accept it for repairs, so either way it doesn't matter anymore.

Just either pirate the games off of a torrent site that I won't give you or find someone who has a working wii disc drive, the homebrew channel, and a computer hooked up to the same wifi network and use this
