OK. Just powered it up , still all boxed. Taken original Wii sports but does not show in the main or disc menu.
Ejected it OK, will open up now and see if it works while open.
UPDATE -
Just opened up replaced thick tape on back chip with normal insulation tape (no pressure on board, checked/redone all connections, leaving the 4 region free off).
Put original disc in would not see it, DRE error screen. Rebooted with disc in drive and booted fine, watching the blue LED flickining away.
Removed disc put different orig in, started spinning up, now just sitting there with blue LED constant ON and showing no disc in menu ????
Ejected disc and blue led still constant ON. As it is now no matter what disc i put in the led in on constant and the drive does nothing...
Strange.
Don't know whether to try a 1.3 or solder to pins ?
