SurinBeach Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hi, My Bangkok purchased Wii stopped reading any game discs and the kids have LOTS ! Took it into TescoLotus Bypass Road (shop outside Homepro) to be fixed saying I thought it was the reader/laser. Got it home two weeks later after being informed by the TescoLotus guy told it had previously upgraded itself after being connected to the internet so he had reloaded the software including Homebrew and USB Loader for 1000thb. Guess I should have checked it in the shop .... And now once again it reads no discs.... Have tried disk drives and thumb drives using WBFS Manager 3.0 to no avail... So I guess my questions are .....is there anywhere I can get it fixed IN Phuket or has anyone had any joy with USB games ? Many thanks from my kids SB.....

hansgruber Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Big C has a few games shops that do repairs. Right near the food court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi007 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Fixing electronic devices is usually a waste of time IMO, unless you can do it yourself or it's under warranty. Might be time to get a new one, if they are even still available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shot Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 The thread title is a bit misleading. I was thinking any pharmacy would have the blue pills. However, in this case, Big C has a few shops that can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurinBeach Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Strange I popped into Big C a month ago and the usual Wii shop had gone, maybe I'll pop back for another look..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddlehead Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 If you cannot get it fixed, don't throw it out just yet. I have one that has problems and my son is always asking me to fix it. I believe (but not sure) that the problem with ours is the long skinny black piece that goes above or below the TV screen that reads the signal from the handheld device.So, if you get a new one, I would buy that piece from you. PM me if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddlehead Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Presumably you can buy that the loong skinny piece somewhere (like ebay) ? Now why didn't I think of that? Thanks, bought one last night ($4.95 with free shipping) on ebay. Edited April 29, 2013 by fiddlehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy my games at play-asia.com and sometimes they get through with no duty or sometimes double the games worth. Its a lottery so be prepared.
