could be............ is there any error code shown............................... you could check that on nintendos site..................................................................... ......................................................................... ................................................................... ................................ ........................................... ...........................................................

if it broke because of that, then I have no sympathy for you. However, I'm betting it is the "dust" issue or whatever it was that sprung up like crazy when Brawl was first released. You can probably contact Nintendo, send it in, and they'll fix it for free.

No. SSBB is dual layered, your Wii has a dirty lense. But thats what you get for being a dirtbag and useing HBC for free games.

Since your machine is not bricked -- it is probably dust.
But you should never let someone else do things to your machine that you would not do/want done.

...........................what....................you..................................say

i dont blame u not havein no pitty on me ......... i dotn have any emulaters or nothin i got all origanl vc games i payed for ........i wish i had never let him try that right now......i say i got a least 30 games some are wii ware games i bought on my wii system.........

It's probably the dirty lense thing. You should Call Nintendo, they'll fix it.

i got me lens cleaner from gamestop it didnt work ... my game will go click click click and then say unable to read disk thing............

well if it is the dust issue, just buy one of those CD lense cleaners, you can find them at most electronic stores and maybe even department stores.

Basically it's a regular CD with tiny little brushes on one side that brush the dust off your lense.

It's safe and a relatively cheap option ($15AUD for mine), it should resolve the issue if that is the problem.

Otherwise, send it to Nintendo.
