It was surprising easy, just use electrical tape to take the chip in place before you start.

Depending on if you already soldered the other points you could use a small wire, or leg of an led and solder from the pad at an angle down to your point. I say go with the wire install if you can.

This is a common problem with so far as I know all wiikey's. People have been doing wire installs because of it.

i agree with the wire install. at some point in the future you will want to remove the wiikey and replace it with something better (assuming there is something better than dvd drive mods in our future). Wire install is easy to remove, but if you use the 'quicksolder method' it's bitch to take out. Think about the future man!!!

I did a much prettier one today (Didn't snap any pics though...), but here's a shot of a quicksolder install I did a couple of days ago...

nice to see abit of flux at work there, thats what solder should look like, almost as if they would roll tgether to make a T1000 terminator (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

nvm i found a dremmel that i could use. ill probably try the method that directly solders the wires to the cut leg without grinding down the chip.
If there's enough pin left sticking out then it's not that bad; 3/4 of the leg cut wiis I've modded so far have had their legs cut flush though, so soldering to the nubs is more work then it's worth (once you get the hang of the dremmel method you can do it pretty quickly.)

thanks first and foremost. i am new to soldering but my buddy has experiences soldering before but we do not know which part of the wiikey should be soldered onto where??
i also have the wire method but i dont know what to solder to with the wire? can somebody please post a picture , preferably bigger then the picture on the wiikey.cn site because i can't see well from that pix and i don't want to mess up. so can someone please post a picture with a wiikey wire method soldered onto the wii motherboard, please make sure the picture is big so i can tell exactly where which part goes to which part. thanks.
