[QUOTE="KleinesSinchen, post: 10392487, member: 445180"] That sadly doesn't say much. Seems you already started process of elimination and suggests: bad drive. Try dumping a good locking game disc with CleanRip. Is the drive able to do that? Happened to one of my Wii consoles a few weeks ago. Was playing a disc game, suddenly [B]D[/B]isc [B]R[/B]ead [B]E[/B]rror. Since then it would rarely boot up games from the drive and if it succeeds it goes DRE within a few minutes. ========= I would really like to see a general troubleshooting+repair approach optical drives. Find out [B]what[/B] is wrong with them instead of blindly following some advice to just increase laser power by messing with the potentiometer. There are some nice videos online, made by talented people: They restored old (end of 1980s) Sony DiscMan or high end HiFi CD players. In those videos not the laser units have been faulty, but some or even all capacitors had to be replaced (in addition to mechanical problems for the moving parts (lubrication). More often than not a working optical drive is associated with bad optical pickup (or just bad laser) – but how do we actually find and prove out what is wrong in order to repair it? I mean the usual suggestion: Just use USB loading works for the Wii – but it is not an answer to the questions: How to troubleshoot disc drives? [/QUOTE]
