The "DVD Drive Replacement Repair Part for Nintendo Wii NEW" by epower mall does not accept the small GameCube CD, anybody know why?

It worked for me, actually replaced two drives. If I remember correctly, however, the first time it didn't work for the GC game. I think I turned the Wii off and back on again a few minutes later and it worked fine. I may have disconnected and reconnected the drive and it worked but pretty sure it was just a power-cycle of the Wii.

Mine did not accept Gamecube discs either. Bummed out. Reads Wii games fine, though.

There is an Ultra Bay where the disc drive should be, meaning that you could easily replace whatever is already in the bay (Most likely an extra fan) with a DVD drive or an extra graphics card. (Purchased from Lenovo)

There is a card that is mounted to the top of it. that card validates that you are playing from a legitimate xbox360. this website can help out a bit but this version of DVD-drive requires you to do some soldering. Otherwise its real easy to swap the cards and replace the drive. the soldering version is on old Gen 1 boxes. http://hardandsoftgaming.wordpress.com/2011/03/12/replacing-a-faulty-xbox-360-dvd-drive-firmware-flash-or-circuit-board-transplant/

My mother in law just ordered this for Christmas and had the same problem. The CD part only worked half the time. So we sent it back. Good luck!

I do not have a gamecube so I don't know what the discs look like, but if they're the same size as a traditional DVD, then yes.

When I called Mattel's customer service, they indicated that the item was probably used because the registration code was used. I was horrified because the mp3 player was completely untouched. Anyway, Mattel generated a new registration code and emailed it to me, but that one didn't work either (it came up with an error stating it had been used too). I think it's a glitch of some sort, but I'm leaning towards filing a complaint through the Better Business Bureau because they still haven't resolved the problem.

I installed the CD that I got with the game and had no problems.The only problem I have with the CD is that it hesitates every once in a while.Maybe you could contact IGT slots and see if there is a record of others having problems.

Email their customer support. They are fantastic and will help you get everything you need. You probably don't need what was on that disc anyway.

Yes, since the wii memory is located in a different part of the wii, and not the dvd drive.

Don't have game cubes games. Did get half of our Wii game DVDs working. Seems if they have very deep scratches it doesn't help.

mine never loaded anything other than the games. sounds like you got one messed up before. if you get one from Amazon like that, they would make it good.

I had the same problem. I got 2 of the same shipped from them and both couldn't be found. Like they work but couldnt be recognized. I reccomend going to best buy and buying a hard drive from there. It will cost more but you know it will work and you get customer service. That's what I ended up doing. Saved the head ache

The drive will act exactly as the previous one did no new capabilities that I know of. This is to replace a burned out drive in a nintendo Wii.

You can call Fisher Price or email them to get replacement discs. I haven't ordered more, but that's what it says on their website. Good luck

It should work just fine. (never used it with wii u disks myself) You could get the Skipdr Wii Disc Repair/clean to be on the safe side. Digital Innovations 4090100 Skip Dr. Accessory Kit for Nintendo Wii. Or you can buy this and use it in any Skip Dr disk cleaner.
