Warning when unscrewing the battery cover

[LH1980]

I followed the Wii opening guide stickied on top but it didn't mention there was a bolt hidden inside the Wii for holding the screw on the battery cover. Now the square-shaped bolt fell out and now I couldn't put it back in. So now I had to use tape to hold the battery cover. I am assuming this is where the bolt came from because it just fell out of my Wii and it fits on the battery cover screw.

just open your wii backup too whewre its in 2 half and you'll see where to put the square bolt. i dropped mine 2 and didn't know where to put it untill i screwed everything back down

It's pretty quick and easy to put the bolt back in where it belongs...
Open the wii and look for where the skrew goes in.
Did it myself the first time i opened my wii, but found the spot the next time i opened it.

Yeah I found this when I was doing my wavebird mod. The nut fell out and I was like "where did this come from? oh well!" and put it in my pot of wii screws.

When I put it all back together and my battery (the last thing to go in) didnt screw in, I went AHHHHH and have to take apart my wii almost all the way again.

Moral of the story? You decide.
