Nice install. I'm about to install one this week and it's good to see how accessible the points are etc.

Steve-O, where abouts in the UK do you live? I'm in Liverpool and want to get a Wiikey fitted and after someone to fit it for me.

Cheers mate, I'm thinking if I have to buy the Wiikey I'd get it from Cheapmod (bought my R4DS and had great service then) so his recommendation counts for a lot.

Steve-O, can I ask what wattage soldering iron you used? I am getting ready to do 3 Wii's in the week and at the moment was figuring on relying on my 15watt one.
It's been a while since I did any soldering - although I was fine at doing it. I intend to have a practise on some old circuit board before I tackle my own Wii though.
Interesting to see you used hot glue though. Cheers.

If the worst comes to the worst - how hard is hot glue to remove? Oh and thanks for the reply!

Its not that hard to remove but its optional to use it, its not needed but most installers use hot glue.

Hey guys, I am going to install a wiikey, but I need a diagram that shows the exact points to connect the wires to...i do not want to just solder it without wires for obvious reasons...anyone have a link to something like that, it would be much appreciated. And thanks for all the help!

One final question steve-0 - what solder did you use? I notice some people saying avoid certain ones. Any problems using regular solder?

hey all, i just finished installing my wiikey...it works fine except for one thing...when the system loads up, it keeps ejecting (well, making the sound of ejecting)...the only way i can get it to stop is to insert a disc...and when i eject the disc, it keeps on ejecting once again...any idea what I can do to fix this?

Sorry to point this out but 'Most installers' do not use Hot glue! Especially on a mod chip that will need reprogamming very shortly !
Good business is where you find it !

Sorry for another negative sounding post but what part of 'It works fine' is the working bit ?

Having some problems here similiar to what I have had in the past. Solder isns't stcking to the points on the chip and instead is just "balling" and then rolling away. Any tips on how to approach this? thanks.
