I'm a repair tech I fix systems pcs phones tablets etc for a living and have never seen or heard of anything the op is claiming and I've repaired hundreds of wii systems in the last 8 years since I started no idea where he's getting this bs
It takes a really big magnet for it to matter. one that that would be small enough to fit in a wii u wouldn't be strong enough to damage anything.Yeah putting a magnet near a HD usually breaks it, not fixes it.
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.@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 either... but i am trying to understand this...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 :oi don't think either... but i am trying to understand this...
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.Maybe it was for a prank that would end up on some crappy YouTube channel :o
There is, but it's locked in place on the top of the drive case.isn't there a magnet in disc drives? locks the disc in place
i know it's nothing to do with what the op is claiming, just saying
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.If the OP isn't simply trolling.
