i followed the track and the point the wire was supposed to go to on the chip is one off. Try the wire one to the right.

Please elaborate your explanation on your findings about the correct trace to use on the chip...

Are you talking about the wire that is supposed to go to the leg that is 5th from the left of the IC chip?

Correct me if I am wrong, so are you saying it is supposed to go to the leg which is 6th from the left of the IC chip?... that is right next to the missing leg of the D2B IC Chip? Hopefully you reply fast as I am stuck on an install right now. Rebuilt missing legs, quick soldered wiikey as normal, used flux and a little bit of rosin core solder, checked continuity at all points including VCC and Power, all showed up fine.
BUT wont boot my config 1.2b disc or any backups. It does however play originals fine.

Thanks in advance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pop.gif)

You should install just like the picture shows. If you are running 3.0 system firmware you may need to boot GCOS before running the config disk.

You know if you went looking for help on a dedicated Wii site it'd be a whole lot easier to find:

Got it, did it and it worked.

D2B (cut IC legs) and revisioned board (point 3 is missing).
Decided on going with the 100% wire install.

Sweet.

Can you get any better pictures? You can't really see anything in detail in those pictures.

You can clearly see, he just soldered the wire right on top of the chip.

@ 7urrican: Btw do you know that you installed a wiikey on a D2C chip? In other words your wiikey wont work.

i have a friend who has an older wii who isnt bothered about modding so im gonna try to swap my d2c drive with his older one. its a shame you dont seem to be able to buy the drives seperately on ebay like you can with xbox. maybe that will happen eventually?

Tortuga2112 · « **Reply #29 on:** September 22, 2007, 05:12:00 PM »

anyone know how accurate that wii tracker is?

I just got some wii's that need modding , but according to the wii tracker all 3 of 'em have the G2C-D2C
drive chip. unmoddable.

that was according to the serial #"s I entered. is there any point in opening 'em up to check the chip?

I don't want to open them if I don't need to.
