Fixed my "Press the Eject button and remove the disc" problem.

Fixed my "Press the Eject button and remove the disc" problem.
After a year and a half w/o any problems with my Wii console, I started getting "An error has occurred. Press the Eject button and remove the disc..." errors. These got more and more frequent until I was getting them a couple times an hour. (This usually happened while I was playing Mario Kart Wii online, so I was losing hundreds of VR points each time I got the error!) There was no visible damage to the game disc and cleaning the disc did not help. I was pretty much ready to either send in the Wii console for repairs or else buy a new Wii console when I came across this Wii Lens Cleaning Kit while searching online.After using the cleaning kit, I have not gotten a single "Press the Eject button and remove the disc..." error. It's been about a month and half so far with no errors.The cleaning kit is pretty simple. It consists of a plastic paddle with an attached cleaning pad. You put 2-3 drops of the supplied cleaning fluid on the pad, then insert the paddle into the Wii's disc slot. You wiggle the handle 10-20 times to clean the lens. Press the Eject button to remove the paddle, and you're done. The kit comes with an 8ml bottle of cleaning fluid and 5 adhesive replacement pads for when the current pad gets too dirty to use again.Spending $10 on a cleaning kit was definitely better than sending in the Wii for repairs or buying a new Wii.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hoffnung bei Lesefehlern
Reviewed in Germany on December 11, 2008
In einigen Fällen kann es vorkommen, daß die Wii-Konsole bestimmte Spiele-Discs nicht lesen kann. Besonders bei Super Smash Bros. Brawl soll das schon häufiger vorgekommen sein, da es sich bei dieser Disc, im Gegensatz zu der Mehrheit der Wii-Spiele, um eine Double Layer DVD handelt. Aber auch bei normalen Discs kann es Lesefehler geben.

Hier kommt nun das Lens-Cleaning Kit aus dem Hause Nintendo ins Spiel. Es dient zur Entfernung von Staub und anderen Fremdsubstanzen von der Laserlinse der Wii-Konsole, um so Disc-Lesefehler zu reduzieren oder im besten Fall ganz auszuschließen. Bevor man die Wii-Konsole zu einer langwierigen und wohlmöglich kostenpflichtigen Reparatur einschickt, ist es auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen, dieses einmal auszuprobieren. Bei dem geringen Preis kann man ja mit der Anschaffung nicht viel Falsch machen.

Das Reinigungsset befindet sich in einer kleinen Pappschachtel die ungefähr 13cm breit, 18cm hoch und 2cm tief ist. Wie bei allen Zubehör Teilen von Nintendo, hat die Packung auch bei diesem Produkt die typischen Wii Farben hellblau und weiß. Zum Glück benutzt Nintendo nicht die furchtbaren Blisterverpackungen, die manch anderer Hersteller heutzutage bevorzugt. So läßt sich das Reinigungsset leicht öffnen und man kann die Packung auch nach dem ersten Gebrauch des Kits zur Aufbewahrung des Inhalts wieder verwenden.

Das Set besteht aus mehreren Teilen. Zum einen gibt es eine Anleitung. Diese erinnert an die Spielanleitung eines Gameboy Advance oder DS Spiels und es wird der Reinigungsvorgang auf 3 Seiten beschrieben. Offene Fragen sollte es nach dem Lesen dieser Anleitung nicht geben, wird der recht einfach durchzuführende Vorgang in allen Einzelheiten beschrieben und mit kleinen Bildchen illustriert.

Weiterhin in der Verpackung enthalten ist eine Reinigungsdisc. Diese ist eine einfache Plastikscheibe. Sie enthält keine für die Wii-Konsole lesbaren Informationen und besteht nur aus einfachem transparentem Kunststoff. Am äußeren Rand der Disc befindet sich eine ca. 2cm lange Griff-Zunge, mit der die Scheibe nachher beim Reinigungsvorgang vom Anwender hin- und her bewegt wird.

An der Unterseite der Scheibe befindet sich ein kleines weißes Schaumgummi-Pad, daß nicht entfernt werden darf. Es befindet sich genau an der Stelle, an der sich der Lesekopf in der Wii-Konsole befindet. Auf dieses Schaumgummipad ist zusätzlich noch ein Aufkleber geklebt, in dessen Mitte sich ein kleines, weißes Reinigungstuch befindet.

Das Set enthält zudem fünf weitere Aufkleber mitsamt Reinigungstüchern, damit man diese auch mal auswechseln kann, wenn sichtbare Verschmutzungen darauf vorhanden sind. Dazu löst man einfach den alten Reinigungstuch-Aufkleber von dem Schaumgummipad ab und klebt einen neuen auf die markierte Stelle.

Ein weiterer wichtiger Bestandteil, ohne den man die Reinigung nicht durchführen kann, ist ein kleines Fläschchen mit Reinigungsflüssigkeit. Diese besteht, neben weiteren wichtigen Inhaltsstoffen, u.a. aus Isopropylalkohol.

Der eigentliche Reinigungsvorgang läuft nun so ab, daß man zuerst zwei bis drei Tropfen von der Reinigungsflüssigkeit auf das kleine rechteckige Reinigungspad auf der Disc tropft. Dann legt man, bei eingeschalteter Wii-Konsole, den Linsenreiniger ein. Die am Rand angebrachte Plastikzunge steht bei eingelegtem Linsenreiniger aus dem Disc-Schacht hervor, so das man sie festhalten und die Scheibe im Laufwerk ein Stück weit hin- und her drehen kann.

Nach dem Einlegen des Linsenreinigers soll man, laut Anleitung, erstmal ca. 5 Sekunden warten. Danach bewegt man den hervorstehenden Griff ca. 10 bis 20 Mal hin und her (bzw. auf und ab - je nachdem wie man die Konsole aufgestellt hat). Dabei empfiehlt die Anleitung, daß man den Griff nicht über die gesamte Länge des Disc-Schachts bewegt, sondern nur ca. 2cm ausgehend von der Mitte. Bei dieser manuellen Bewegung reibt das Reinigungstuch mit der Flüssigkeit über die Laserlinse und reinigt diese.

Das bei dem gesamten Vorgang im Disc-Kanal des Wii Menüs eine unlesbare Disc angezeigt wird, ist übrigens völlig normal und auch nicht weiter verwunderlich, da die Scheibe ja keinerlei Daten enthält. Wenn man fertig ist, betätigt man den Eject-Knopf an der Konsole um den Linsenreiniger wieder auszuwerfen. Der Reinigungsvorgang ist damit abgeschlossen. Danach sollte auch SSMB oder irgendeine andere, zuvor unlesbare, Disc wieder ordnungsgemäß gelesen werden.

Mein Fazit: Schwer zu sagen. Da ich selbst noch keine Lesefehler bei meiner Wii-Konsole hatte, kann ich das nicht wirklich beurteilen. Das Ganze scheint mir aber vom Konzept her durchaus sinnvoll zu sein und es läßt sich ja auch in etwa nachvollziehen, was da in der Wii-Konsole passieren soll. Aus Erfahrungsberichten von anderen Wii-Usern geht hervor, daß diese Methode anscheinend schon einige Male zum Erfolg geführt hat. Wahrscheinlich würde Nintendo so ein Set auch nicht anbieten, wenns völliger Unsinn wäre.

Für den geringen Preis von unter 10 Euro halte ich den Wii-Linsenreiniger für eine sehr sinnvolle Anschaffung und er sollte in keiner Wii-Zubehörsammlung fehlen, für den Fall das man ihn mal braucht. Da andere Universal Linsenreiniger von Hama, Bigben & Co nicht für die Wii-Konsole geeignet sind, kommt derzeit auch nur dieses Set von Nintendo in Frage.
