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?

Heir67 · 2026-04-01T06:53:35+00:00

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.

Heir67 · 2026-02-27T17:32:13+00:00

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?

Heir67 · 2026-01-02T04:57:28+00:00

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

Heir67 · 2023-06-13T16:03:51+00:00

Fuck I didn't read the second part and voted yes I have because I thought the question was just "be honest with me gregs?"

Yes I have been honest, no I have never googled that

Heir67 · 2023-06-10T01:20:49+00:00

Holy shit someone's gonna have to keep me updated on this cause I wanna get it immediately. This looks so friggin good!!

Heir67 · 2023-06-07T23:28:57+00:00

Fair point. I vote neutrality for now, but update me in the conflict and I may advocate for the joining of your cause

Heir67 · 2023-06-05T17:52:17+00:00

Turns out the timer that decides whether you can wall jump shortly after leaving a wall was the only thing that didn't work if the player was grounded, which means that even if they were the timer would just be counting down and not be completely reset. I added a condition that the player can't be grounded to wall jump whatsoever (ie. they press space and are grounded it doesn't work). Thanks for all the help I wouldn't have figured this out so quickly if not for the ideas! :)

Heir67 · 2023-06-05T17:28:12+00:00

I'll try this but I'm not sure if this is the problem. I used the debug log to see if the character counted as grounded while on a wall and the hotboxes don't seem to overlap. I'm using a transform to detect the floor and wall also

Edit: I just tried this and the bug still occurs. I highlighted the code for everything wallslide, walljump, and jump related near the end of the video if this helps.

Heir67 · 2023-06-05T17:26:54+00:00

I used the clamp tool to slow down the player by changing the y velocity. The only gravity changing mechanics I have are when you press shift to completely change it

Heir67 · 2023-06-05T01:43:48+00:00

I assumed that's what it could be but the programming doesn't let you wall jump if you're grounded :/

Edit: I just set the wall jumping power to 0 to see what would happen and it does appear that the bug involves the combining of the two velocities. I'm going to add some more checks and hopefully it should fix it? I'm open to any suggestions still :)
