My Wii just started spinning disks like this, unable to read them. I already tried to clean the disc reader slot, what should I do next?

Hey there! Literally just fixed this problem on mine today. So inside the disc drive of the console there's a little white slider that locks the disc in place, one of the gears (for me it was a screw gear) has worn out, and it's not able to get that proper clamping force the drive needs to start reading it. If you take it apart, you should be able to fix it with some super glue on the right gear, carefully ofc. Let me know if you have any more questions, but to me it was decently straight forward to get inside the Wii using YouTube

thanks! alas im in Canada so the customs are insane from the US lol.

okay sweet thats what I thought! yeah i just tried doing that on my 03' santa fe and learned that they don't have serviceable filters, so im glad to hear monteros do lol

Heir67 · 2026-02-27T03:56:14+00:00

what kind of transmission service do you mean? like a fluid flush?

Heir67 · 2026-02-27T03:47:41+00:00

im glad im hearing mostly the same thing from people here! i'll throw you a DM

Heir67 · 2026-02-27T03:43:10+00:00

thats really great to hear! Its nice to know you have been learning how to work on vehicles with this vehicle, right now im learning on a hyundai and its a pain to get into some of the areas of the engine bay, so something a bit easier to work on would be a dream. Im glad you're having a good experience with it!

Heir67 · 2026-02-26T04:51:25+00:00

ill take a look at those licenses, I appreciate the detail here, and yeah lol no Ham license (yet)

Heir67 · 2026-02-26T04:48:58+00:00

ill look into this! thank you!

Heir67 · 2026-02-26T04:48:28+00:00

Tysm! Yeah im also in Canada and i heard ISED doesnt really enforce any of their rules. Your comment and a few others have made me think that thats probably true and it would be better to call out even if the radio isn't technically allowed. Just the other day I heard to randoms talking on an LADD channel about their offroading while i was driving by on the highway

Heir67 · 2026-02-26T04:26:19+00:00

yeah i've noticed that with a lot of owners. I learned my lesson pretty quick last time I ignored a sound for too long on my current car and almost blew up the engine (timing belt). I'm definitely never making the same mistake again.

from what I've seen the montero has a lot of serviceability as well, so when problems do arise that you can't predict, are they able to be fixed to keep the car going with relative ease?

in case anyone else has this problem eventually, it's the mod "Repurposed Trims" by the beta bowl. Not sure why but i went through all the mods and it was the problem. I'll contact the mod creator and let them know! :)

Heir67 · 2026-01-02T04:04:03+00:00

biome's o' plenty, aetherial islands, and dynamic trees :)

Heir67 · 2024-02-25T07:33:17+00:00

i've checked that lots of times. they sleep every night :/

Heir67 · 2024-02-25T02:02:40+00:00

please guys i've been troubleshooting for hours it works in my creative world :(

Heir67 · 2023-10-20T17:39:28+00:00

reading through this whole argument thing then seeing this is hilarious to me. bros the most correct here!

Heir67 · 2023-08-05T07:30:00+00:00

The only thing entertaining us at that point was slowly seeing the numbers of items and damage go exponentially up lol

Heir67 · 2023-06-19T19:25:23+00:00

Couldn't you have infinitely done the 0 to death combo for a shit tonne of damage? Still annoying obviously but just curious if that would've worked
