Hacking wiikey installed

[lonfar]

Im having some trouble with the wii
i've installed the wiikey but when i put back the case it just goes standby mode and turn off when you press the power button, i tried without the casing and it worked fine.

Does anyone know what problem?

Maybe the casing is applying pressure to an electrical point, which is causing a short. Did you cover the install with tape to prevent any shorts?

How did you install? - Quicksolder/wire/external?

Im no pro, but It sounds to me like an electrical short. I think we'll need more info on the install to propertly diagnose your problem.

EDIT: After re-reading, it could be just the case isnt on properly. Take the casing back off, make sure the wiikey/solder points are taped then make sure it all clips back together properly and snug. Dont force any bits together.

I know the problem, something is contacting something you get wat i mean like 2 wires are touching each other
Cuz when i removed my wiikey i
I removed that part and it was over

Im dutch so its hard to explain

This is my first try, looking by other people i had go for wired.

the chip i have placed is here


i have used red tape to cover the chip like this

Use the same kind of tape to cover the points where you soldered the wires on the Wii's DVD board. As well as where you put it on the wiikey. Maybe try covering the wiikey too, not just half of it.

Bit of a dark pic, I installed my wiikey externally with wires but this shows what I taped.

Thanks, i try try now to see if that works

Did what you ask =/ didn't seem to work

Hmmm.... like I said, im no pro so im not sure. Does the case fit back on properly? Are you sure you've not broken anything while taking it apart/putting it back together??

Any Pro-modders here wanna have a go?

Im stumped.

it's the top cover making it stop playing, when i remove it
it didn't cause any trouble. Might be the tape, will try other tape
