Installed Wiikey.

Playing backups perfectly.

Problems are getting worse as everytime I now have to power on/off (as much as 6 times) the wii in order for it to accept discs.

At first, I would restart once or twice and the disc drive would restart itself properly (by making the proper spinning noice at startup). Now, I only get a short noise (most often) or the drive will open non-stop, and once a disc is inserted the drive won't recognize the disc is in and won't start spinning. I power off/on until the disc is recognized and inserted into place properly. Then the disc starts spinning and is recognized by the Wii.


A few times after powering it on again in order to insert a disc, it has accepted the disc and then made a few clicking noises after it has inserted all the way (it doesn't sound good, however I can confirm there are no obstructions). It sounds like a DVD gear clicking noise.

Today I experienced a new "can't read disc" error on games that have been played even recently. This is the first time I've received an error such as this since the wiikey was installed and loading the backup games.

Please help.

Thanks,

mcflied
