Hacking Identifying Wii ModChip

[mattlouf]

yeah but i dont know what it is and i cant open the wii

So we bitch and cry because we can't take a screw driver and open the Wii to look, I hate bitchers and criers..

"I don't know what chip I have... boo hoo"

Lazy Ass!

tutututt not lazy, just don't get the right (triwing) screwdriver I presume !

Ey no problem.
Here is how to open wii:
First remove these two:

Next get your smallest screwdriver and remove these screws:

now remove the black thingy and you will see a white thingy:

now remove these screws that are in red Os. You will ned an Y screwdriver OR smallest flat screwdriver thet you have.
When you end, next turn your console down and remove clock battery:

...and these screws:

(Some of them are behing a white thingys. Remove them with flat screwdriver)
Next remove these screws:

(they are behind white things. remember: these are the Y ones.
Next CAREFULLY remove the clap with power button and VERY CAREFULLY remove this cable:

Next remove these thingys and remove screws:

Next you must remove the box of wii. Do this carefully and slowly. Now you can see the metal thingy that covers DVD. Remember how it is on DVD and remove it:

You can see your chip...problably. My (Open Wii) was there but if your's not there, so:
Remove these screws

AND VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY remove the drive.
Remove this cable: (not whole, just the white one)

And we have it

See your chip and follow these steps back. Hope that helps.

Just carefully and slowly.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to make a map of screws:

I found this useful. These are not my pics! Sorry if someone will be angry I found them.
AND! Please forgive me a grammar or word mistakes (I'm from Poland, sweet Poland)

There's 8 tri wing screws,6 of them are the same,2 are black and go on the bottom front,2 also go on the bottom at the back under the large pads,the rest go at the bottom at the sides(1 in batt compart),the other screws all go in the sides at the top,the smallest go in the G/C part of the Wii and are black then there's just 4 more holding the DVD drive in place,easy to remember when you've done a few!

 

[skawo96]

Yes, that's something like it.

Ah, and if someone want to open the wii:

1) Do not try anything if your hand are like jelly and you can't hold them still
2) Remember to have something to hold your screws and "white thingies"
3) Do everything very carefully. If you break an cable or something, well start

Just godddam do it!

 

[skawo96]

Just do it. If you be careful nothing gonna happen! Really! You know I mean that if you will want to be SPEED DEMON! OH MY GOD faster! faster! Faster!

that maybe somehing would happen

I have done it first time and nothing happened. Just dont touch the second cable on the DVD drive. It's don't needed. And the white one is very hard to break. The worst thing you can do when you are doing everything carefully is to lose screws.

And:

Just godddam do it!
