    Help Identifying Replacement Wii Drive

    Hi guys. I need a new drive for my Wii. I can't load channels, and I can't load disc games. But ejecting/loading works fine. I'm having trouble deciphering all the jargon and numbers I need to crunch to find out what drive I need. I've identified the following:


    My Wii's Serial Number: LU5178XXXXXX

    My Wii's Model Number/ Region: RVL-001(USA) / NTSC-U/C

    Copyright Year: 2006

    DVD board serial: AMV752OEU

    DVD controller: GC2-D2B

    I have 3 cut pins on the DVD controller chip, but no missing third solderpad near it. I assume I need a D2B drive?

    That looks identical to the one I have now, at least on the front. I also noticed that the number on the yellow label (to the left of the black tape) matches the number I have on my current drive.

    VEP70148A

    Mainly I'm wary about just buying what would APPEAR to work. I'd like to be SURE I am making the right choice. So any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Oh, and one thing. The DVD controller chip on that site is a GC2-D2C, and the DVD Board Serial is different than mine.

    Huh? Incompatibility maybe?
