Can't OP disolder it, soft mod it, and reinstall a clean NAND?

For Error 003, you can't unless you use a modchip to recover from what I have heard. Re-installing a clean NAND requires the console's keys.

In some areas of the world, there were a lot of sellers buying Korean Wiis in bulk, region changing them and reselling them as a local Wii but cheaper. Depending on how sketchy the seller is, they might remove any traces of modding to make it seem more legit.
Dad bought one such Wii in Singapore, the seller was honest about the fact that it was a region changed Korean Wii, not all sellers are like that.
Also, there's no requirement to install HBC in order to region change a Wii. A reseller doing region changing in bulk might just have a SD card with all the needed files on it and an exploit game. Insert game and SD, load exploit which boots directly into AnyRegionChanger and change region, (optionally if they want to install extras like pirated VC and WiiWare games) swap to SD with different files, load exploit again which boots directly into WAD manager and install folder with wads, rinse and repeat. HBC (at least at the time) couldn't be installed from a WAD so that would have been an extra step needed which was not necessary. I don't think HBC was installed on my dad's Wii, I remember having to use Bannerbomb in order to mod it with cIOS, USB loader etc.

Interesting story. Never knew this was a thing back then.

You may just want to wait for the Bluebomb update that promises an Error 003 fix.

You're better off looking at Ebay for these exotic modchips.

I see a couple of listings for WODE Jukebox on Ebay (all in the $200+ USD range lol), and 2 other listings for drive chip mods.

Or if you're technically inclined and your Wii is compatible, make your own drive chip mod.

Also, I see why you're asking for modchips lol

Exotic? They were common as chips. At least, WiiClips were.
