Ok, brace for impact:

My PAL Wii with Wiikey 1.9g installed suddenly stopped to read my Backups. Only the Originals work.
This happend like that: Played SMG, downloaded the new Mii channel, played SMG again the next day, shut down = now i can't play any backups. WiiKey Setup disc won't load either.

At first i suspected the new Mii channel....but that can't be the issue because i played a backup right after installing and using the new channel.
So i opened my Wii. Everything looked fine/Nothing smelled burnt (the soldering points were OK)

Opening and checking cables/soldering points helped nothing. It still doesn't work.




I noticed something:
If i put in an original game - The Drive loads up properly (you know, that sound like it's chargin' the lazer)
If i put a backup in - The Drive wants to load, but it stops completely after a few seconds

What's the problem here and how can i solve it? I heard about adjusting a potenziometer or something like that. What is it, and can a layman successfully adjust it?

EDIT: So much answers ^^ I think my WiiKey is f*cked

I have exactly the same problem. One day it was working 100%, the other (yesterday) it reads absolutely no backups (various brands, +/-R, all discs that used to load), just originals. Anyone else had this problem?

I have had problems where when i play a non back up, then back to an original, it gives me read errors.

I reboot and its fine.

It could be a loose wire on you mod chip?

Try and lay ir down or stand it up?
