Can I diagnose a drive beyond simply tearing the console down?
My Wii toppled and while it would restart, it wouldn't read any disks. I used the procedure elsewhere in this site to disassemble the unit down to the drive, but I don't see any obvious problems. I'm assuming the drive itself is the problem (duh!).
I've seen parts from drives for sale so I assume someone's taken it further than I have, but I am at a loss to figure out how to diagnose and fix the problem at the stage I'm at. Where do I go from here?
Thanks in advance,
Jon

What symptoms are you seeing? Does the drive make any noises? Can you insert and eject the disc? Do you get any error messages?

The drive attempts to read a disk, but can't and spits it out (I think; it's torn down now so I can't go back and check it's spitting capability). It doesn't make any scraping or whining noises, but you can tell it's having a hard time reading the disk. Eventually I get the usual "Can't read the disk ..." message.
Thanks,
Jon
