My Wii stopped reading discs. I ordered that Wii DVD drive the otherday for $25 on Amazon with the prime shipping and all that.

I took it apart and after some YouTube vids the culprit was the drive motor. So that comes in, and I take it apart to swap over, as I get ready to swap the drives I see something. And it rattles inside.

There was that SD card that must have been jammed into the disc slot instead of the card slot. I’m guessing it was one of the kids.

I took off the cover, got out the sd card, and it works fine. Damn it.

I don’t have a drag Saturn. I am usually 3-5 years behind on new consoles coming out to getting one. I likely won’t buy another Xbox, but PS4 in 2018...

You love your kids. No buts XJDano! :P

I’ve been lucky that my Dreamcast & Saturn and my older systems still work. Now eventually all of our 20+ yr old system will die in some form so we’ll need to come up with some archive/museum type of thing.

My little brother stuffed a sd card into my Wii. Also jammed 3 discs into once.

But damn I wish I would have found the SD card before I ordered another drive. & this is payback for me taking apart any electronic device I could get my hands on and was put together with a screw driver.

I’m sure this is just the beginning.
