Nintendo wii drive probs(really fast spin)

**afc_man** · 26th January 2010

Hi guys a friend has asked me to look at his wii, When i first got it would not spin at all, So i took it apart and found a sticky pad attatched to one of the slide mechanisism's so it would not let the disc in fully, Removed this and know when it starts up the discs spin very slowly for 2-3 secs it then speeds up to must be at least 32X speed i'm gueesing really noisy,so is there a sensor for the speed control? i know there is a sensor to recognise the disc being in the drive.I tried fitting a drivekey so see if this would slow it down to 3X speed but to no avail...

So do any of you guys have any pointers or is it going to need a new drive..?
it has no modifications fitted but it does look like its been opened before though...Cheers Rob
