Okay, I just installed a WiiKey 2 + WiiClip on my D2E drive yesterday!
(Thanks, ModChipCentral!)

Opening it up was a snap! And NO epoxy!

I loaded in a copy of WiiPlay on a DVD+R, and it worked perfectly the first time.

So I go to close it up, but I screw in the wrong screws.
I used the black screws from the back face plate to screw in the places on the side of the Wii.

So now I can't ever open up my Wii again! The black screws are jammed in there.
Any help?

Basically, I screwed in the tiny black screws from the back black plate into a place where I shouldn't have.
Now, they're stuck and I can't open my Wii.

you could try to use a power drill...

Get a very good magnetised screwdriver, then have a friend with a pair of thin needle-nosed pliers, or even a pair of tweezers, grip the screw head as it sticks to the screwdriver.

They will need to pull the screw up as you turn it, it will start to screw out at some point doing this. Pushing/pulling the screw toward one side as well as up may help it grip the thread too.

Take a drill and destroy the screw heads.
