Title: Disc reader is dead :( Post by: Allav866 on January 30, 2012, 02:53:06 PM I turned on my Wii, only to be met with an error message, telling me to turn off the power, eject the disc, and look at the operations manual. I knew this would happen one day, but now that it actually has, I'm a bit depressed. I'm currently downloading USBLoader, but before I do, I gotta know if it will support my new portable USB hard drive, or if it's only limited to flash drives.

the power button for 5 seconds while it's on). And it worked again. Title: Re: Disc reader is dead :( Post by: Allav866 on January 30, 2012, 03:19:16 PM I don't think you understand what I mean. I enter Gecko and it will say "No DVD Found" This isn't just a freezing problem. I mostly just need to know if my external USB hard drive will work for Configurable SD Loader.

You didn't mention anything about Gecko OS in your first post. :notimp: Title: Re: Disc reader is dead :( Post by: Dragon Ryuu on January 30, 2012, 03:28:52 PM This why I don't use Gecko...Riivolution is the way to go! I know how you feel...that time when it happen to me :oshi:...I was forced to go buy another friggin wii...

I know how you feel...that time when it happen to me...I was force to go buy another friggin wii... I agree with you. Riivolution is the best,but this isn't the topic to discuss your opinion about Riivolution. Title: Re: Disc reader is dead :( Post by: Allav866 on January 30, 2012, 03:53:52 PM agreed. save the Riivo vs Gecko stuff for the discussion & chatter thread, even if Riivo is better (although I make hax for both). anyhow, it's not just Gecko that doesn't read the disc. It's the Wii. I'm not buying another Wii when a new system is just around the corner, so I must use Configurable USB Loader.
Title: Re: Disc reader is dead :( Post by: Dragon Ryuu on January 30, 2012, 04:11:25 PM I just mentioned that once and you guys are all on about it...anyways...there is another option...its probably the lens...you might need to manually replace it with a new one...

That's one option.Title: Re: Disc reader is dead :( Post by: Allav866 on January 30, 2012, 04:19:42 PM I'd rather not open my system. It's quite old.
R.I.P. Wii Disc Reader Lens 2007-2012 Title: Re: Disc reader is dead :( Post by: Kakalaa on January 30, 2012, 04:30:50 PM Then what do you propose on doing?
Title: Re: Disc reader is dead :( Post by: Allav866 on January 30, 2012, 07:57:08 PM Like I said, I'm learning how to set up Configurable USB Loader. I finished installing all the necessary cIOS's, and it's starting up okay, so for the most part, I figured out what I was supposed to do.
Title: Re: Disc reader is dead :( Post by: Iwvi on January 30, 2012, 08:49:29 PM Just use an external drive to play games using USB, my lens have been dead since 2010 and I just play using USB loader GX, that or use the old thrustworthy Game cube

Title: Re: Disc reader is dead :( Post by: Allav866 on January 31, 2012, 07:32:13 AM No, but USB Loader doesn't play GCN games, so that's why he uses a GameCube.
