So, I opened up my Wii today just too see how small these points actually are. I was pretty confident that I could do it myself as I modded my own Xbox in the past, but now that I actually saw these points for myself, I don't know anymore.



Here's a pic I took in case you guys that haven't modded your Wii yet were curious about how small these points really are.
The pencil is a 0.5mm lead pencil.

 

0.5mm pads and 0.2mm gap between them im guessing, lol have fun if this is anyones first soldering experience

 

Nice pic.

It is really hard to gues the size of those points only from looking at pictures and install guides.

 

I had never soldered before and installed mine without a problem.

Just practice on an old sound or video or network card with similar or smaller points until you can do it without a problem - that's the key.

Also, you should hold the pencil against the points, it appears it is not completely, to get an accurate gauge. Also for more depth of field (all in focus), pull the camera further away or supply more light so your camera can adjust its aperture accordingly.
