So here's the situation guys - I have a first gen Wii that I soldered a Cyclowiz modchip in the first Christmas of release. Everything was good to go until a mislabeled Mario Kart disc that was PAL instead of NTSC semi-bricked my console.
Now, I'm pretty accurate when I do things, but every time I took the SoB apart I lost another 3 screws and something got a little more bent. When everything is closed up, it looks great, though.
The moral of the story is, somehow in the midst of me trying to fix it, my disk drive has become FUBAR and it needs to be replaced. I have actually ripped out the modchip and switch, but the remains of being cracked open many times still remains. If you look at the board, you can tell that the pads look modified but no damage on the board itself.
My question is, after doing a full delete on the console and pulling out the physical chip, would you guys feel safe sending it in for repair? I don't mind paying for it at all and going legit. When I modded it I was still working as a bartender trying to get through school and now I'm comfortable and buy all my games. I just want to make sure I won't get fined/sued for modifying MY BOX =P - gd lawyers and their grey BS
Thanks!
