Hi,

Have a Wii here, D2B, missing legs, missing pad.

What did I do :

Grind the chip, connected three wires. And connected one wire to the 5th leg from the right on the chip (to make up for the missing pad).

I already did three Wii's without the legs, but these all had the pad (which is now missing). No problem, all worked first time.

But this one is giving me headaches :)

I tried it three times (soldering and desoldering), but cannot get it to work with my DuoWii chip (which I used for the other installs without problems).

It still plays originals without problems, but no backups.

If there would be a short in the place where I connect the three wires in the chip, originals wouldn't play either, right ? So, assuming that there is no short (the connections are good, even put some hot glue on top), then it's the modchip that is faulty.

Or maybe I'm not using the correct leg for the missing pad ?

Anybody, please enlighten me, I'm about to toss this thing out of the window ;)

Ah I see! its that one leg that you are trying to connect with the one pad that is missing!

seriously speaking though if you want help/advice with your install take stable zoomed images of your install, otherwise we have to go based on assumptions and dont know **** bout your situation

Seriously.. how many variations of the missing pad on a D2B are there ?

The question (without any need for a picture) : IF there are shorts on the three cut pins, do originals still play ?

As for the images, I have tried, but they keep being vague pictures, I really admire how you guys take those sharp close-up pics, but my 6.1MP Kodak really sucks at that..

just check all your connections or try a different chip.

i modded this type of d2b using a wiikey.
