Disc Reader went kaput

I actually think mine is on its way out too.  It's having trouble reading Metroid: Other M.  No other disc is having a problem though. 

The M:OM disc is fine, so I dunno.  Maybe it just doesn't want me to play that particular game.

Sounds like a dual-layer disc problem. SSBB and MP Trilogy shouldn't work either, if MOM doesn't. Those are the only three games that use a dual-layer disc. You can try out the official Wii lens cleaning kit from Nintendo which costs around $10. It worked for me, but a couple of weeks later my disc drive went kaputt altogether and couldn't read any discs anymore (that wasn't the fault of the cleaning kit though).

I sometimes have the same problem with Metroid: Other M as Kenology.  I thought that it was the dual layered disc problem as well.  I tried popping in Brawl, and it worked the first time.  It's really weird.  Other M just doesn't seem to want to read sometimes, while Brawl still works every time.  I've got Metroid Prime Trilogy too, and I haven't had a problem with that yet either.
