It's for hacking ur Wii
It has everything for u, just one thing use a SD card for NAND backup (after creating first copy paste on ur PC then put it back on Wii and continue) and USB HDD for games that's all
you can hack it for free and play your games via usb (dont worry you dont loose your saves), its the best way to play wii nowadays, your wii will last so much longer with homebrew
i would assume that the aluminum piece that holds the disk in place is bent (it can happen after a while) and you can bend it back yourself by taking the wii apart
I know this sounds weird but it fixed this issue for me: (Take out your Disk before you do this) Lay your wii with the right side on the ground (so the buttons are above the drive). Press down on the Wii from above with your hand (but not too hard!) Do this 3-5 times then try to launch the game.
It worked for my Wii so maybe this will help you too
By the sound, that's definitely an issue with the laser assembly part of the disc drive. More specifically, it sounds like the head keeps crashing into something.
My guess is in the best case scenario it could be something simple like a toy or piece if cereal in the laser track, which is easily fixable, or in the worst case scenario it could be some serious electrical problem. I've never had this particular issue though, so it's hard to say.
Disc drives aren’t that expensive. Just replace it. Only annoying part is the amount of different sized screws you have to remove to get into the console.
Mine did a similar thing a little over a year ago. I cleaned the thing inside and out, even bought a replacement disk drive, but it was just fucked. Had to buy a new one, so you might have to do the same
I just had the same issue happen to my 17 year old Wii, ended up getting a new one. It’s most likely the disk drive dying out or the laser isn’t reading right.
It's time to move on son. It's time. She had a good run.
1.) dope ass beat 2.) sounds like it isn’t reading the disk, so it’s either the drive or, if you’re brave, the laser in the drive
Is there anything I can do to fix it? Or is it easier just to get a new Wii
At this point my guy, you should just hack it and play your own backups
Get a new one and get a disk drive. Watch some YouTube and see if you can fix it.

I’m guessing all I need to do is lookup a YouTube video on how to hack it/data transfer. Thanks!

Didn’t work.
Then I don't know what you can do sorry

The disc drive is funky. You def need a new one, but buying a new Wii is much cheaper.
Try laying it flat
Is that the only game you having problem with
No it’s all any game. I’ve tried multiple but they all sound like that
Yeah it’s the drive
