The laser in my wii is dying I can virtually play no games, :( ironic that I'm getting the Wii U at the end of this month and it nearly exactly 6 years to when I purchased, I still wanted to keep and use my wii and build my wii collection as there's games I've still not played, Im sad at this moment

It´s a way of your system telling you it´s time to pass the baton on to its successor.

I know but I wanted to play my wii games on it's original format, I'm wierd like that

Softmod your wii and you can play all your originals from hdd instead.

When my laser died  on my wii i softmodded mine and have played my games from hdd instead and you can still use wii´s online even when you are playing from hdd

Maybe I'm not allowed to say this, but softmod > install any USB or SD loader you like (I suggest, go for USB) > grab your Wii discs on external medium of your choice (some loaders could do it internally, like WiiFlow) > enjoy. Mine is 5 yo and just like new, but probably I've never used it that heavily.

Is it easy to buy a new laser amd replace it myself?

How did you manage with other dying systems ?

I did it myself, it's not a difficult process, just watch a youtube video while you're doing it.

I don't think it's that easy. I second the softmod advice. My Wii is still in mint condition and fully operational but I intend to bust it open as soon as the U comes around.
