[jheredia]

quick question: how exactly do you block the 4 unneeded points on the clip when making it for a d2a/b

canadamods i believe uses tape or something but not sure

 

[OzModChips]

Yeah just electrical tape, its not too hard

I was giving a last look at the reviews of the wii-clip and they all seem favorable for the wii-clip. Then, I found the review from www.xavboxwii.com and the guys really don't recommend that product. They say it may be good for the short term but it will break the wii in the long term. They say the clip puts strain on the drive since there are more vibrations and it also bends and twists the legs of the chip :

I know that like you said in another post that the installation should be done carefully, chip and clip aligned perfectly, on the first try to avoid (or only reduced?) these problems.

I want to know your opinion if the wii-clip is a good long-term solution or a solder installation is better for a long wii life. If you recommend the wii-clip, I'm sure it can not be that bad...

Also, if I don't buy the clip, I'll buy a premodded system, but some say that during the shipping some soldered connections come loose so it really comes down to the same install quality as the clip. The premodded wii is more expensive but I'm looking for quality over price here. So which is better in the long term?

Soldering is always better - Ive said that from the bet go. The product is still good though - 98% of people recieve it in perfect working condition.
The amount of people that have emailed after a while to say it was working, now not working would total around 3. And we have been selling them for months now.

You guys in canadahave it bad - no one seems to provide a good warranty on their work. A premodded wii should come with a 1 year warranty

Alright, I bit the bullet and ordered. Setting up a paypal account was less hassle than I thought. Here's hoping it's a smooth delivery and installation!

Just placed an order for the new d2pro thats compliant with the new d2c boards. Thanks for the great deal! Expecting my wii to get here any day now and little doubt that new wii in america will be d2c. At least I hope. Never know with my luck.

Anyway.. Thanks!

Where can I buy a wii-clip + wiikey 1.9s presoldered for a D2B wii motherboard? So far the only places I've found that does it is modchip.ca, but that's a extra service, and I was wondering if anyone just sold them together in some sort of combo pack. I've looked all over and can't seem to find any, do they even exist?

edit: I guess I forgot to mention, I am in north america

I hear everyone saying instead of using the piece of paper that comes with the clip, we should just put down some electrical tape.

Where is this tape to go? Over the clip? over the chip?

Is there any photos which show this?

Ordered my wiiclip anyway tho!

 

[OzModChips]

Just use the paper, its fine

The free shipment is only for the wii-clip? I should buy a itouch for mi nds lite

 

[OzModChips]

happy to do it for flash card + micro sd card combos over $70 or so
but not for the itouch....nothing to make of this.

Hello OzModChips. I've been browsing through this thread for quite a while now and by seeing how easy it was to install and how everyone is satisfied, I'm thinking of purchasing a clip+chip+screwdriver (soldered on) package. Now I'm quite new to the hardware modding scene for the Wii, so please forgive me for being confused.

I have an LU5359XXXXX Wii (US) which checks out to be GC2-D2C with Drive Pins not cut. Am I correct in saying that I should get the Wii-Clip with D2Pro? If so, I seem to be having a difficult time locating the combo I wanted on your site.

Oh, I was just searching specifically for D2Pro without the 9. Is there a difference?

the 15 wire d2pro?
We have a shit load of clips in stock - but no old d2pros to go with them!

Ah I see. Curses. And here I am hoping for something a little cheaper.

I guess I'll find out by the end of the week if I have the money to spare for the link you've provided. Thank you for the help!
