with the wiikey still inside? don't know.
but, if you were to open it and take it out and put it back together again (and it's obvious you opened it), no prob!
the first wii I modded was an epic phail (first time soldering...but I took the chance
). So, I told nintendo I tried to change the case to one of them chameleons and they said that since I did open it, they would have to charge me (60 dollars). Some people I know said their little bro forced a dvd into the wii with a dvd already in it and they tried to take it by opening it and nintendo charged them like 30 dollars for the repair. other forums I read said their wii just doesn't want to accept dvds for some odd reason and they repaired for free (of course they put it back together like new).
It also depends on the person you get, the first time I called it was only 30 dollars, but...I had to do grab my debit card and couldn't find it, so I called later only to get another rep that told me the repair was 60 dollars. so it largely depends on the person you get. the worst that can happen is they tell you no, if you don't send it that's an automatic no; just do it.
protip: the female rep offered me the 30 dollar repair, the male rep offered me the 60 dollar repair.
p.s. you can twilight hack with 3.3u and use homebrew channel, wads, geexbox, and all that good stuff just make sure you got the newest firmware of your chip [my case: 1.9s (wiikey)]
