Your wiikey should be fine, and should be a straight forward 6 wire install. Just recheck your soldering. Also, you may have issues with how you are burning the update disk.

Let me clarify. I installed a clone wiikey and it wouldn't work. Have done lots of Wiikeys. Checked with multimeter and everything was good. Even reinstalled 3-4 times because I still questioned my abilities. Here I got a Wasbi and popped it in an worked on first try.

I have just bought a WiiKey genuine as I'm sure it said on the suppliers web site that it was compatible with all versions of Wii which was very appealing to me only to find my Wii also has the GC2-D1 chipset and there is a solder point missing on the board. Does anyone know if the WiiKey will work only soldering the 5 wires or do I need to buy a chip and if so what chip? I have looked at the Wasabi but at £45 it's a bit expensive. Can anyone advise of compatible chips to suit this chipset?

Thanx
