Why can't my Wii read game discs?

Device:
My Wii will not read discs. Is there anything I can try myself to fix it? Everything else works—Wii shop, internet channel, etc.
Answer(s):
"Will your Wii read or play GameCube discs?
Borrow a GameCube disc from a pal, or buy a cheap one at a game store or an online auction.
If it works with a GameCube disc then the problem is easy to fix if you like tinkering and have a Triwing screwdriver."
The optical drive is a common failure item -- most of them will probably fail after a couple of years of use. If your warranty has expired, you can send it back to Nintendo for replacement or do it yourself
Check to see if your disc(s) are damaged, dirty,ect .sometimes that's the problem . or try taking your disc(s) to a local store where they clean disc or even purchase some disc cleaner . if the problem is not the disc it'self you should consider taking your Wii system it'self to be looked at.
