Highlights
Quality
Worked perfectly, easy to install and replace yourself.
This replacement piece has been installed and is working properly.
Our wii had gotten progressively worse for reading disk errors and got to the point it would no longer work at all.
Tried taking apart to clean the laser with no improvement.
Price
The time spent was well worth having my wii back.
Great price considering the repair shop wanted to charge $120.
Shipping
This sucker came faster than expected, and even came with the screw driver(s) needed to extract the dead one and put in the new one!
Ordered on saturday afternoon, received monday afternoon.
Packaging/appearance
The dvd drive arrived well packaged in bubble wrap and came with the tri point screw driver needed to open the console.
I watched the tutorial before opening up the package, and i thought i was going to have to buy the tri wing screwdriver.
Competitiveness
I compared it to the original drive, they are the same.
