The disc drive has been bent from too much usage

# warm stump but how do i fix the drive

I wouldn't bother fixing the drive when you can just use USB Loader GX. If you wish to try to fix the drive, ifixit is a trusted source. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nintendo+Wii+DVD+Drive+Replacement/5164

is it better to buy a wii disk drive separtly or buy a used wii

mild shadow

Depends on who you buy it from.

#

It's going to be really cheap at a thrift store or garage sale but will cost way more online.

If I can be of any help I'd like to add to here. So yes part of the disc drive is bent but it's not broken. You can look at how this guy here does it and slowly bends it back to fix the noise at 8:30 https://youtu.be/XhvQu-01xVI

I bought this Nintendo Wii as part of a bigger lot 10 Wii's for $50 to restore and repair them. It's however not working. It turns on but nothing shows up on the screen and the disc drive makes a horrible noise.

First I disassembled the console. I found the Wii had taken some sort of a hit and the leg of the disc drive had broken. I also found ...

You also do want to use usbloadergx anyway because if you don't use a crt there's this thing on by default you can't turn off without it called a deflicker that makes a blurry filter on games. Only game I know you can turn this off in settings is smash bros brawl

Also you probably just need to dust your wii

You know that these videos are fake
