Hi,

A friend of mine got his wii chipped with a Wiikey. Everything was working fine
for about a week. Suddenly, his Wii acted strange. It still powered on, you could
still here the sound, but the screen had gone completely black with some greyish
vertical lines. He made a little vid to show me:

He claims the problem started after running Zelda for the gamecube on 60 hz.
The Wii is an European PAL version.

Any Thoughts on what may be the problem?

Thanks

What is this problem exaclty? Does is affect everyone who tries to play video from Zelda (which game?) at the wrong frequency setting?

I've got the same problem.. !! Black screen, but sound, and after a couple of days, no sound either.
But mine worked perfectly with the wiikey for moths before this happened, and the fault occured while the wii was turned off.
I think the problem is overheating while running on standby or whatever the mode is called when you just shut it down by remote...
Anyone knows if Nintendo will check for chip-soldering traces, or schould I switch DVD-drive with my other un-chipped Wii before sending it to service?

this has nothing to do with the modchip. there were some systems that were broken from the start. it happened to me aswell. call nintendo up and they will replace it for you. just make sure u take out ur chip first

its imperitive that you remove the chip and dude make sure the pcb looks "clean and untampered with". like no balls of the solder used for the application of the chip

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
