Games won't play

Hi. My son is having a number of problems getting games to play on his Wii. They seem to start to load, then say something like 'refer to instructions'.
I can find no trouble-shooting for this problem. Also happens with brand new games.
I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks.

Wii u games load but get stuck and wont play

HI Denise.

Sometimes a Wii or Wii U is unable to read a disk, or the game will freeze or crash. And sometimes the console won't play any disk at all. Before you throw the disk in the trash or the console out the window, here are a couple of things that might get you back to playing games.13 Jul 2017

My Wii will not Play GC games. It tells me "Unable to read disk, Check operations manual". Game has no scratches and my Wii is about 3years old. Plays Wii games just fine so I don't know...

Check your serial number on your Wii. If it starts with KU, it can't read them. If it starts with LU, and it's ONLY GC games it won't play, then your system needs to be repaired.

Out of warranty repair cost is $85 plus tax for America.

Hi, my son is trying to play super mario galaxy 2 but it wont load. i have taken it to a local game shop who skimmed it for me but it still won't work. the man in the shop told me to try another...

Hi there gilmarei

What to do when your Wii Has problems with reading disks and you have tried cleaning the disk.

This does not mean your Disk Drive needs replacing more often than not it just needs the laser to be readjusted.

Option 1

You can send this off to Nintendo if your still in warranty because it is included in there free fixes so they will do the collecting for you, fix it and return the Wii to you, all for free, but it will take 4-6 weeks.

Option 2

If you are out of warranty its the same process as above but its $150 in cost

Option 3

now a new Disk drive would cost around $75 for a compatible one and you may need some one to fit it at a cost as well.

Option 4

What I recommend is a Wii Repair Guide that will show you the simple steps yourself, you will be up and running again in less than an hour and the cost is far less than option 2 & 3

Good Luck

Power will not come on at all a cable guy came to my house turned cable off to reset it my power went out and some sparks came out of some outlets next day my son went to play wii it would not come on....

1. Try plugging something else into the socket to ensure the socket itself is working.
2. Changing the fuse in your Wii power adapter, blown fuses are very common and this could be it.
3. If number 2 doesn't work try and get a hold of a replacement power adapter as the problem could be a break in the wire.You can get a new adapter at this site NDSL games console, ds games console, NDSL games console_Video games Console_www.goldenbridge.hk

Wii will play gamecube games but not wii games

I heard something on youtube about that. It seems that the disc is hitting on the case so you would have to take it apart and fix it.
