Ok, so my can usually play discs fine, even Super Smash Bros. Brawl which is known to have problems because its a dual layered disc. But sometimes I get an error saying "cannot read game disc, eject and turn the power off."

This has happened with Guitar Hero 3, Sonic and the Secret Rings, and SSB:Brawl, probably about 7 or 8 times now. Usually I can just put the game back in the Wii and it will play. If it doesn't, then it will the 3rd time I try.

What should I do? Is this normal?
Should I send it to Nintendo? I heard they will fix Wii's that are having problems with Brawl for free and have them back within 7 days so should I take advantage of that or is there something else?

I heard Similar people say the same things. I think you should send your Wii to Nintendo

This is the first time I've heard it, but I don't think it's normal. You should sind your Wii.

I thid that. Use Brawl as an "excuse", if you will for free repairs.

do you smoke at all???

a lot of the japanese who smoke found it damaged the laser on the wii, and a lot of them had issues playing games, however, nintendo offered to clean the laser on the wii... why not just get a regular cleaning CD, and use it on your wii? It'd be useful for a lot of other CD cleaning tasks in the future.

No I don't smoke. I don't have a warranty on my Wii anymore either. But I think fixing the Wii because of Brawl problems is free.

Do you mean like a disc cleaning device? Sorry I'm kinda confused.

Something similar to this

all it does is clean the lens on the disc drive (and that's all nintendo are likely to do anyway)... and they're relatively cheap aswell

I just chose to show you an expensive one, as it was the first one i found... try searching amazon for cd lens cleaner

Ok I'll check it out. I'm kinda afraid that I would send it to Nintendo and since I only have disc errors sometimes they would just assume that its fine and send it back.

I'll try to get the lens cleaner too.

well a lens cleaner will cost about $2 at most, and it can't hurt to try one... let me know how it goes

Hmm..I haven't had any errors lately. I won't be able to pick up the disc cleaner for a few days, but I'll post here after so maybe someone else with this problem can find a solution.
