It works!!

Congrats, man.

Why don't you just play by the rules instead of modding (thus voiding any warranty) and then complaining about how it doesn't work?

You want the best of both worlds without any consequences? That's what greed is.

You voluntarily voided your warranty and knew your warrant would be in void if you fitted the mod chip, so ultimately, this is YOUR fault.

You really have to live in a PAL region and get regularly screwed over by Nintendo's release dates to appreciate why people mod their consoles. :P

I have a D2C and it works fine for me

The repair link has been out since the Japanese release. It's because Brawl is a dual layer DVD format (or something like that, I don't know all the jargon).

Well it would have been nice to have gotten it 'repaired' before the game launched. A notice or something via the Message Baord would have worked.. they sure don't mind spamming us with that Mii Channel nonsense.

Shogan - Considering that it seems a vast minority of the people are having this problem, who should've gotten it repaired prior to the release?

It seems to be a known issue with 2006 Wiis. I'm pretty sure it is NOT a dirty lens problem, otherwise they wouldn't foot the bill for so many free repairs. If it's a certain lens type in these units that won't work, wouldn't the serial number help identify these models?

Well, we should verify that, by, anyone who is having issues, tell us what year they bought their Wii. I'm so nervous now. I bought mine in the middle of '07, so hopefully I'm good.

I got mine in October of 2007 and it ran Brawl just fine, no problems. Hope that helps.

While it's possible that it's a certain lens, it's also possible that it's dust. My wii is a launch unit and Brawl works fine.

I tested Brawl in three launch-day Wiis and it worked in every one.

That would be what I'd try first before sending it in for repairs. I would make sure I'd do everything that I could think of before sending it in.

it depends on how big the particles are and what edges are showing. If it doesn't really present an edge for the compressed air to apply force to, then it's going to stick around.

Thats the stupidest idea I've ever heard. You'll probably off-seat your lens.

You clearly don't know how disc drives work Rob, your an idiot. Worked fine for me.

How do you plan to apply it? Most people aren't going to want to void their warranty to give it a try.

The wii can not read any other CD/DVD unless it is a wii game!!!!

i thought everyone knew this by now.....

You could always give it a shot. However, the chances of that working is incredibly low.

@ssuk: "incredibly low"? there is NO CHANCE!

Yes, you can. Many people on other boards have said that a normal lens cleaner disc will spin up and clean your lens. It's fixed the problem for a ton of people. Doesn't hurt to try.

For Heaven's sake, Brian, would you calm down until you actually know what you're shouting about? Even PS3 (blu-ray) games I (when extremely bored) slip into my Wii spin up properly before the little bugger shoves them out.

Nintendo Japan gave a hand out about this issue on their website. If you eject the disc, push and hold down the power button until the console shuts down (red light), then power the console back up and insert the disc, it should read the disc.
Other than this, I take it there is no absolute solution to fix the problem, just keep the disc clean and cross your fingers every time you put it in. Or send it off to Nintendo for this 'cleaning'. But Nintendo's RMA isn't the best thing I've encountered... I am European, however... So that may say something about why I get a shitty service...

In the secound video the guy was using a mod chip. So it is obv that he will get a error.

Well, no, it's not obvious actually. There has been NO cases so far of games not loading due to mod chips being in games. SSBB is no different, other WiiKey users have booted SSBB fine. It's just luck of the draw if your console boots the game anyway, regardless of hardware modifications.

This is the first time this has happened since the console's release. It's the first game that is a dual layer DVD. Something tells me that not many companies are going to be putting that much into their games as Nintendo did with Brawl.

Well, if peoples wiis got dirty in one year, they can easily get dirty again.... Nintendo needs better testing before they release a crappy product. I would have rather smash bros be a 2 disc release.

Get out of here troll, you are not wellcome.

And FYI you are on Nintendo Wii Fanboy, what did you spected to find here? Go to Xbox Fanboy instead and stop trolling.

After 6 months of inactivity you come back with this? That's really nice. If you enjoy your systems so much go back to them. I'm not a fanboy of the Wii (I enjoy the system and I do acknowledge the flaws), but to just take a cheap shot because some people are having problems with one game makes you seem petty. I like the 360 and the PS3 as far as gaming, I choose the Wii because of cost and I don't have an HDTV etc... I'm cheap and I wanted a new console, so I went the cheapest route possible.
