[QUOTE="V10lator, post: 10411675, member: 485896"] Maybe it's just dirt on the DVD lense? Unlikely as IIRC multiple lasers share the same lense but might be worth to try to clean it. Just search for some cheap CD, DVD or BlueRay cleaning disc and enter it. Wii U will tell it can't read it but trying to read it / spinning it up and moving the laser a bit should be enough to remove dust. Note that this is highly theoretical through. Never tested it and IIRC Nintendo even had special cleaning discs for the Wii U, let me google real quick... Yea, there it is: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B00WTHK6ZQ/[/URL] ... Probably out of stock anywhere through and I wouldn't purchase these used. //EDIT: Found one of these cleaners on eBay - for $50 used... So yea, I would just try some generic cleaning disc as they are much more cheap and not used. Anyway here some pictures of this: [spoiler] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1714461959113.png"]434639[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1714461973909.png"]434640[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1714462000242.png"]434641[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1714462025163.png"]434642[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1714462042513.png"]434643[/ATTACH] [/spoiler] As you see it's just a disc with some brushes and some solution which might be a polishing fluid or something like that. ;) //EDIT²: A drop of (nearly 100% clean, better ask your local pharmacy than purchasing online) isopropyl alcohol might have the same effect as that unknown liquid Nintendo added to the discs.

, The worst part when buying 360's at GameStop, is that they bolt the heatsinks down.
