"Unable to read disc" Wii




By redsox_m on Dec 04, 2008

" "
My Wii won't let me play any games because it says "unable to read disc." I have tried to clean the disc, (great condition). All of my games say "unable to read disc." When I was playing a game a sudden message popped up and said "unable to read disc." Any ideas of what to do?

-   whenever i put a game disc in, wether it is brand new or not, the wii says it is unable to read it. Even though the wii is brand new, it just doesn't work. I've cleaned all my discs, but the problem remains.-   Guest

Your Wii most likely has a problem with the system that reads the disks. If you system is under warranty, you should be able to get it replaced or fixed at no charge, since it is Nintendo's problem.

I would suggest canned air. most cd/dvd read errors are caused by dust or smudges on the media.

If Wii gives Disc Read Error, first step you need to check is totry another disc or clean the exisitng disc. This will confirm thatproblem is with either Wii or Disc. If the console itself is givingdisc read error then it needs to be repaired. You may check out DIY Wii Fix Guide,that will show step by step. information to fix the problem yourself. Italso gives information on fixing many Wii Related Problems, so its akind of Wii Problems Reference Fix Guide.
