For "laroo" and "qunicy", try going to Best Buy and see if they have a Wii CD Drive Cleaner. There's a few computer CD drive cleaners that work with xbox, but they will probably "eat" the Wii CD lens. So, goto Best Buy, find a employee that works there, ask him/her.

For "Sasuke12", Goto Best Buy and buy a Memorex - Disc Cleaner & Scratch Remover (or a knock-off). Here is what it looks like:



Thank you and have a wonderful day.

If Wii gives Disc Read Error, first step you need to check is to try another disc or clean the exisitng disc. This will confirm that problem is with either Wii or Disc. If the console itself is giving disc 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. It also gives information on fixing many Wii Related Problems, so its a kind of Wii Problems Reference Fix Guide
