This is a quick guide to walk you through the installation of any Clipversion Wii Chip. The benefit to the Clip is that there is no soldering necessary. If you need to solder the Chip on the Clip (we offer that already presoldered as well), these easy solder connections are done in less than 2 minutes. This guide mainly serve as a guide to take apart your Nintendo Wii to perform mods.
What you’ll need:
D2CPro or
D2CKey or any other chip which can be used with a
clip
the Clip
A Triwing
Screwdriver (can be ordered in our shop)
A Precision Philips Head (+) Screwdriver (you can
get at every hardware store)
Soldering Iron and
Solder (if you don't
have it presoldered)
The installation of the mod chip is extremely simple, and in fact the most time consuming part of this mod is opening the Wii.
BEFORE YOU OPEN A WII DISABLE WIICONNECT24!!!
Step 1:
There are four screws located on the underside (when
placed horizontally) of the Wii. Two of them are
located under the rubber mounting feet on the left,
the other two under two stickers on the right.
Step 2:
Another set of four screws are located on the bottom side (when placed
vertically) on the Wii. Three of them are located under the white stickers
as circled, however the last is under the battery backup cover shown with
the blue circle.
Step 3:
The final set of screws are located where the GameCube ports are. Three
small screws serve to hold the black faceplace, as shown, and hide an
addition four screws beneath.
Step 4:
When all the screws have been removed the front panel should be loose and is
easily removed, watch out for the wire connection used to power the disc
slot LEDs. Carefully pull the cable out and remove the front panel.
Step 5:
With the front panel removed, the upper plastic bezel is removed by lifting
up. This exposes the internals of the Wii, and you’ll be greeted by the
metallic shielding. Lift this straight up as well to access the optical
drive.
Step 6:
With the metallic cover removed, remove the four screws as shown and
carefully lift the optical drive. There are two cables that need to
be disconnected before you proceed to the next step.
Step 7:
Almost there.
Step 8:
If
your Clip is not yet soldered on the chip, do it
now.
Step 9
After it, just need put the WII-CLIP
onto the Wii motherboard to cover the D2C chipset.
Step 10:
You’ll also need to put a piece of
electrical tape down to cover the modchip from shorting on the Wii’s
chassis
Step 11:
Re-assemble your Wii following steps 1-6 in reverse and have fun.
