Try asking the people who gave you your chip. You can't exactly ask Nintendo for help.

Ring nintendo about that one and the see what they say. If they let you know whats the go with it maybe the person who installed your mod can fix it.

Your luck getting it moded has just screwed your warranty

Are you guys using the same discs for testing?
Just wondering if it's that not your consoles...

its just i thought if two consoles went maybe there was a trend cause its not just modded ones.

i have other mates that work just fine and so are yours so all good but yeah just no spin on the drive. Wierd

yeah prolly need to take it to a specialist cause you guys havent had this issue no fix here i see.

Generally installers of chips know the consoles so they should be able to fix it.
I wouldn't know who to suggest off the top of my head...I'd email the place you got the chip, tell them and if they won't fix it ask who you should contact.

hate to be a jerk but maybe your just putting the disc in the wrong way lol or maybe you have your wii upside down so you think your putting your disk in the right way but it is wrong lol you should try putting disc in the other way
