The disc drive on my decade old Wii seems to have finally failed.  It will no longer read single layer discs.  Since it seems to be all discs, I doubt it is just a dirty lens.  I have seen some Wii disc drives available online for pretty cheap.  And there seem to be plenty of Youtube how to videos on how to replace them.  I have even seen a few that show a way to possibly fix the most common issue how the drive fails.

Has anyone had to replace a drive on their Wii?  It doesn't look too bad, but I would love to hear anyone's experiences with it.
