Wii repairs?

Restless · 12-21-2012, 09:53 PM

Hi! A friend's son accidentally put two discs in our Wii at the same time. Now it won't play. Anyone know where we can get it repaired?

Did you take one of the discs out?

I would order a tri-wing driver and do it myself. But if thats not an option, I would take it to Play-N-Trade in Prince Frederick.

Yes, we were able to get both discs out.

I suspect a repair at PNT would cost half that, and you have your machine, not a refurb.

Wouldn't the fact that it is repaired by PNT mean that it is refurbished? Well, maybe not since PNT probably won't do as much as Nintendo will do during a refurbishment.

Right, but if it costs half the amount, I would be okay with that. And I'm not sure I would trust Gamestop to have actually had the job done by Nintendo.

I would think they get traded in, tested, cleaned and polished.

I've bought several "refurb" items from TigerDirect, never had a problem with any of them

I would place more trust in TG than GS.
