i installed my new wiikey and the wii loads up fine, but during the teardown process the brown bit to the bigger ribbon snapped off. Now the ribbon doesnt stay put. also when i powered it on and tryd putting a disc in, the disc wasnt sucked it like its susposed to but instead i had to push it in. now my disc in stuck . what really bugs me is the disc doesnt even spin. is all of this due to that ribbon?

 

try to crazy glue it down, if it doesn't then I would say you really f*** up your wii.

can anyone imagine that the biggest risk for a mod like this is something other than the modchip install?

 

how can you break off that brown piece of the connector? you only have to lift it a tiny bit and you can take the cable out already, then click it back into place and get to the soldering

 

anybody? this is a life or death situation...for my wii

 

well i tryd glueing the ribbon back on but i think there might be something wrong with the ribbon end itself . would gettign a new ribbon fix my problem? does anybody know what ribbon i would need

 

experiment getting the end in FLAT and all th e way against the board

hold it down with your hand and see if you can get a game to load

once you know it will work, try HOT GLUEING it

not super glue

if you mess up w hot glue you can reheat it and remove it, not the same w super glue
