Hi everyone,
So I bought a lot of broken Wii Us and I managed to get them working except one. Looks like the person swapped the DVD drive and now the console doesn't want to boot (Power light flashes red and the console shuts down).
I know the motherboard is not damaged since once you remove the DVD drive, the system boots up with a error message stating that the drive is not present (Or that is damaged).
I'm assuming the DVD drive has its own set of keys and that its tied to the system (Much like how the PS3 does it). Does anyone know of a way to remarry this new drive to the system? I'm not sure if someone is working on a way to do this.
Any help would be appreciated
Error code:
160-1400

=== UPDATE ===
Got it to work! Looks like the ribbon cable has put on backwards!
Here's how they need to go in (2 side notches on the ribbon cable needs to be on the DVD side):
This is the wrong way:
