If you are like me then you have probably had the following happen. You await eagerly for the next big smash hit Wii game to be released. You ring your Video store to retain a copy, you go to work, after work you drive to your video store like a man on a mission, get that favorite game, drive home barely keeping to the speed limit, grab your Wii, plug it in, insert your game and you get "Game could not be read." Is there anyone more frustrating than that? I don't think so! Hopefully in this description I can show you what you can do to lessen the opportunity of this happening to you.
Firstly there are any reasons while this "unable to read disk" message applies ranging from incorrect handling of the Dvd to improper loading of the game disk; your Dvd drive could also be faulty. The good thing about Wii troubleshooting the unable to read disk problem is not that difficult.
Disc Drives
You will want to make sure that your disk is being loaded properly. If your Wii console is positioned in the vertical position then you should have the label on the Wii disk facing to the right. If any way you have a horizontally positioned console then the label of course should be facing upwards.
If the game is being loaded properly but the unable to read disk problem still applies then you will want to search for the game disk itself. If there are any scratches on the disk then this can be the problem. You will want to get a micro fiber clothe or similar and give the disk a wipe, the same goes if there are dirty fingerprints or similar on the disk. Make sure that you wipe from the town of the disk outwards, never wipe round and round.
If the problem still persists then you may need to get a Dvd lens cleaner and give your console the once over with that. These can surely be picked up at your local video store for colse to .00.
While there are a few more common Wii troubleshooting problems with regards to "unable to read disk" these are the more common solutions.
