Burn a small Wii .iso to DVD-R and see if it boots. If it does, you have a chipped Wii. No they don't shorten a console's life.

if you hack it, you can burn backups and even play dvd's on it.

Yes i know i actually have dx2 cios last ver and usb loader gx but the question is more about the bad things that i've read about modchip. But if it doesnt affect the wii allright :)

The wii is amazing when hacked, it could be the most diverse system out there, there is everything on it, hundreds of awesome homebrews, you can dump your games to a external hard drive, wii and gamecube, and tons of vc and wiiware, and they have some great emulators. if you are interested, look up the definitive guide to wii hacking, everything you need should be on this site, and if you need any help, you can ask me, im a pro with wii hacking.

my bad, didn't know you had it hacked, but it probably isn't chipped, the white wii has no real need for a chip.

Not all white Wiis can read burned discs. Only the first 2-3 batches can. The newer ones have a different drive controller that ignores non-pressed discs.
