hey guys i just tried to install the argon to my wii, and failed. i can do all the other points just fine. but just cant get the damn legs. i ended up messing up my drive and now it wont take any disc or power on. i fail as a modder. 30 AWG- 5.49 25 watt solder - 24.99 0.015 solder - 4.99 broken wii - priceless (in the bad way) how immoral is it to buy a new wii and trade drive then return? lol
Can you post a picture of your drive? It most likely can be fixed if you use a multimeter and see where the bridged legs are, and fix them with the desoldering braid.
Agreed. I did the same thing to mine with a 25w iron and dodgy tip. I bought a 13w pencil tip and used it to clear out the bridges. A wasabi install and a few months on, and it's still going strong. P.S. If all else fails - a few mod chip stores are selling replacement drives.
Yeah just do the switch and get your money back. Nothing wrong with that, unless you do it at some family owned store...
i tried and failed once and tradedit in but the thing is it only styed on for 10 mins then it would shut down and cuz they only checked for 2 mins they didnt notice
