Does anybody know where i can find the tiny gears on the right side of the drive to replace ine if mine that is broken.

Or if somebody has a botched drive if they are willing to give up the gears

You could possibly grab what you need off any old CD/DVD drive, they all work in a very similar manner. I imagine that you could get the right size cog off one. Lots of people throw out old drives.

If the wii drive uses propitiatory gears then you're probably out of luck. You'll need to track down a replacement wii drive or a broken one to pull parts from.

You will probably have better luck with "Wii DVD drive"

Also, if it's mechanical parts that you want. Any drive from that family of drives that is a self loader will probably work.

However, that being said, it will probably be cheaper and easier to just by a working replacement drive.
