Hardware Wii Motherboard Replacment help

[chillnburn1]

So yeah, here is the deal.
A couple months ago My wii encountered a little fall from my cat and thought it was nothing. Everything was fine till my ejection button was supposedly 'jammed'. I did all these little tips and tricks from the web and nothing worked. So I have taken the wii apart and saw that the the eject mechanism for the button has vanished believe it or not. Right off the motherboard gone, i had no idea where it was. Now I found an replacement for that and can re-solder it, but it can cause ruining my Wii all together. So i want to take the safest way possible and just simply replace my Wii motherboard.

I have the motherboard. Now i need instructions. If you guys can. I will really appreciate step by step, screw by screw, part by part instructions on replacing the motherboard. All help will be greatly appreciated!

i think this is just 1/2 of the disassembly process.

can't you power on your wii via wiimote? complete disassembly of the wii is such pain. i haven't reassemble my other wii and the wii i'm curently using now don't have all the screws bolted... getting lazy to tidy up
