Replacement DVD PCB for black wii

I could do to replace the board on my wii's dvd drive.. I was wondering if you have to get certain chipsets/version

I have one of the first wii's ( killed by 3.2 -> 4.2 update ) just get black screen, no diag works and used to have trouble reading...but original good pcb.
a working d2e wii but has trouble reading original disks.
a Black wii... pain in the backside with the d3-2 chip

would it be possible to change the pcb in my original wii to the black one or the white d2e or do I have to get certain chip versions.

I think the black and white Wiis are internally identical.

They are.. it's whether a replacement dvd circuit board needs to have a certain chip..
Like say for instance my original broken wii... has an original wiikey installed but has trouble reading disks
The black wii is a pain with the d3-2 chip... but reads disks...
Would the original circuit board work on the black wii's drive.

you can swap out the boards, they should be compatible
