I have a Wii, and it won't read discs. All discs are in perfect condition, and should work normally. I bought a lens cleaner, followed the instructions, and it still failed. Could somebody help me with this situation?

I have a friend that this happened to. What I did when I wen't over to their house was turned on the system and waited until I heard it try to catch the disk and right before it tried to catch, I shook the system and it started back working. Nintendo doesn't advise you do that though because it may mess up some internal workings, other than that, it's time for a repair. Hopefully you're still in warranty.

It reads the disc, but there is always the traditional "Disc Read Error" message.

It's broken. If your Wii is still under warranty, you'll only have the inconvenience of sending it in. If you're out of warranty, you'll have to buy a new Wii, but the price just came down, you're only 4/5 as screwed as you would have been.

Does it make any noise when you put the disc(s) in?

If it makes a couple of small noises then nothing it usually means that your disc drive died.

You'll need to send it in to Nintendo.

Did you download the 4.2 update? It's also causing problems with discs.
