Hacking my mates screwed his wii

[wiimii]

hi ,
my friend decided to foolishly take on the job of soldering his wiikey his self with no soldering experience ,

however in the process he lifted pads 4, 5 and 6 , to make the situation even worse he then tried soldering to the traces of the pads he at the ic legs , but he has smothered a load of solder and bridged at least 3 legs on the ic lol,

i said i would try to see what i could do with it , however i cant get the solder off from in betwen the legs ,

as you all know it needs to all come off then i can start to repair this disaster properly

the solder is sort of wedged in between the ic legs and wont come out

his wii is in a rite state , any ideas as to how i can remove the solder thats wedged right in there , i mean it goes right down to the board and covers 3 legs as i mentioned

thanks in advance , wiimii

Desoldering wick, desoldering pump, and loads of patience. Not sure if there's any more advice I can give you...

ok thanks thats what i thought to do i just wondered if there was another way easier ,, ahh well better start and see what i can do

update:
i tried but i could not remove the solder its too hard bye the time ive heated it up and then tried to suck it up it just wont budge

, if i keep at it , im risking burning the board . so i guess he has an unmoddable wii , unless he can find someone else willing to risk burning the board

oh well, proves you should get a pro to do it , or even better do it yourself if you are a pro .(unlike my mate lol)

He screwed his wii? Surely that cant be good for it, Next time suggest to him to screw a girl?

Well it goes to show another reason not to mod your consoles. I have never moded my own consoles although i have helped some friends mod their consoles. But I prefer un-moded consoles. Plus you void your warranty

tell him if he wants it fixed by a pro then get in contact with the cheekymonkey!
he is a top guy and a extremly good modder/fixer

Oh I see...
That would take a lot of patience to de-solder. I think it is possible if you are really careful. You, I mean your friend should probably get in touch with a professional and maybe he will help.

I repair everything on the wii, and accept shipped orders, ask around for my service, or just check my site, www.phuongmods.com, even Nintendo has heard of me

, minimum repairs start at 50$ and max for any job is 100$ you pay shipping both ways, and I think it's easier to ship to Canada then the UK
