@mh123hack can you take a picture of the magnets or the stuff you are talking about?
the wii doesn't have such security mechanism..
unless you got some very rare demo or developer unit..

I don't think even a demo unit or devunit would have a magnet that fucks up the NAND chip when you open the console.

Maybe it was for a prank that would end up on some crappy YouTube channel :o
If the OP isn't simply trolling. I would guess from the mentions of smoke and a chip being fried that what actually happened was his friend opened it, plugged in, and shorted something by making contact. Then didn't want to actually take the personal responsibility of having damaged it, so wrote it off as it was the system itself. Even if it was true that there was some sort of magnet or mechanism, which it's not, it wouldn't be capable of producing any smoke, sparks, etc.

If this guy's really not a troll, then he's either a kid or someone with very little knowledge on this area. He comes here assuming this community doesn't know shit, and then warns us about something that doesn't exist/doesn't make sense.
