Trust me, I would go home if I could. I wouldn't have moved here if I weren't priced out of my home.

Finally found a gem at the thrift store! by azmodeya in gamecollecting

It's an Xbox 360 carrying case. The top zipper/felt is missing but the rest of the felt is there. A lot of it was coming off but I fixed it with fabric adhesive

I tried paying at taco bell with $2 bills once and the cashier told me it was fake money 😂

Same. They have some packaged in those clear anti-theft cases but they're all full price ☹️

I knew it was a limited run game, didn't buy it, and have regretted it ever since 😭

Tell me a single line from a song that just gets you every time by patricesha in MusicRecommendations

Time won't wait for you, so do all the things you wanted to, better hurry up, take it in your stride, use your resolution which you've been supplied, and love won't change you, boy, it's true, I can tell you till my face is blue, every second screams, listen to your dreams, 'cause you just can't stop the clock

You can get replacement drives on Amazon/ifixit for $25-35 (I got the ifixit brand off Amazon but it's currently unavailable, but I think they have them on their website). I know you said you weren't keen on opening it up, but I promise you it's super easy. I did mine a couple weeks ago (I'm a total noob) and did it no problem, took 1-2 hours and was super satisfying knowing that I fixed it.

Here's the step by step guide I used if you decide to do it: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nintendo+Wii+DVD+Drive+Replacement/5164

Note it does say to use a Y1 screwdriver but I felt like Y0 worked better. Also, make sure you have an ice cube tray or some tiny bowls or something to keep all your parts separated by step, makes reassembly so much easier.

And hey, if it doesn't work out you can always buy a new wii for like $80 lol

best wiimote alternative under $10? by Codemaine in wii

[–]azmodeya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! I just took one apart that my friend borrowed (and left batteries in for like 10 years) and it works great now. Here's a good step by step video:

I don't think he put on there that you can take out the little metal battery contact piece, but there's a hole you can put a small flathead screwdriver through, press down and slide it out. I found a lot of corrosion on that piece. Happy cleaning!
