I have a wii disc drive that will accept discs, but will not eject them. Upon tear down the disc drive makes some noises presumably coming from this one gear i noticed. On closer inspection it seems this one plastic gear is slightly cracked? Is there anyway to repair this or, is buying a new disc drive my best bet? Attached is pictures.
Hi Macy! It’s a unlucky part which is broken. It will be difficult to find the part you need to replace. So those are the options: You can buy a new working drive and replace it (PCB does not need to be swapped for Wii). And strip the broken drive for parts (laser, rotor, worm motor and more..)You can buy a broken drive and take the good parts out (including the gear you need) and put it in your old drive. I don’t think you will find the part that easy. You can always try to search for it (I did too now, but didn’t find the part you need).
