I bought a wii from China and I need to remove the wiikey chip because I updated my firmware from 4.0J to 4.2J because none of my games work anymore. Where is the wiikey exactly? I called nintendo support they told me to send it in, but NOT with the wiikey because then they will just return my wii back.
I am learning how to remove my wiikey because I bought my wii from China and now I am removing it because I updated the firmware from 4.0J to 4.2J so now I called Nintendo Tech Support for me to send in the wii, but I need to remove my chip, how would I do that?
Perfect video, couldn't be more clear. I disassembled nearly in the same time as the video with this. gloves aren't necessary as long as you ground yourself, but I WOULD recommend exacto knife. Kitchen knife mars up the stickers.
Those gloves are special gloves. Anti-Static gloves which help you to keep electronics safe. Other wise with the static electric which you can be charged easily, will grill your chips and motherboard....
WHAT THE F ...did anyone even see that it didnt even look like the same drive ...bord or the front of it ....LOOK the front now is closed off...what the heck ..can you now tell how you made that happen LOL
Well the gloves are for many reasons,,, 1. to prevent leaving body oil on the console components like microchips. 2. Corrosion like acid. 3.Electric shock that could damage the system. Ect... ect.
I'm not a tech kind of guys,,,, but this are the basic foundations when opening any kind of electronic device.
Yeah you gotta replace that battery in 3-4 years or so if your wii can't keep up with the clock anymore it'll limit out your network play aswell i think the WIi prolly drains the battery out alot slower then a your regular full sized PC does since that battery goes into remembering all your bios settings and the time on your computer amongs some other things :-) while i think the WIi doesn't have to do nearly that much.
Thinking about modding my Wii (to play backups of my legally purchased games... of course!), and was a bit hesitant because of what I might need to do, but this looks managable. Want to check out your WiiKey tutorial now.
sinnamental, before those loaders were even invented, the only way to load unsigned discs were through modchips.
Besides, not everyone has TP or the know-how to load Homebrew loaders themselves. Some people who'd like play backups just take them to experienced modders so that it'll be plug-and-play for backup discs and not have the hassle of loading through homebrew or resetting with hooks.
But, yes... the importance of a wii modchip is waning. A softmod is easier to do and a bit less risky.
Yes, really, softmii and a preloader take all of 2 minutes to install and does the exact same thing, it enables to run the game from the the disc menu just like a modchip...Never had a problem with my games not playing correctly ;) and the best part...It was all FREE!!!
System updates screw softmods up though, so if you care about your future self not wasting time hacking the same wii over and over, a modchip is a better choice.
hey im thinking of changing the shell of my wii so i could make it black but having to take it all apart kind gets me nervous just because i dont want to break it in any way. to change the shell would i have to disassemble everything? please reply back thanx

To replace the Wii shell, would require more disassembly than shown, most likely a full disassembly.
There are plenty of vids going thru this process, however It shouldn't be too hard.
