I disassembled my Wii yesterday.
Couldn't get the damn thing back together. This is one compact system.
I bought a new Wii today but, does anyone have a link to some teardown guides? This has got to be the most complex assembly I have ever torn down.
Also, more damage before that was caused by the update that poisoned 'Mad World'. Which rendered most of my games. (At least the Sega ones) unplayable.
So I guess it's semi bricked.
If I do manage to repair the thing, I guess I'll keep one for homebrew and the other as a Wii. That oughta work.
Edit: maybe this post should be a blog but, It contained questions I need answered so I'll post it here. Capieche?
I hope that's okay.
Edit2: Anyway. I also would like to mention I got it together somewhat. But for some reason the disc drive doesn't work. Maybe I put the power it backwards? @.@. I really hate the optical drive.
Another thing I'm curious about. Why does the Wii have so little memory? (yeah I don't like to say RAM these days when it's not random but is Burst. [Why not BAM?] LOL. ) And why does it seem that many product use Samsung memory? (The Wii, Acer, Microsoft Xbox 360) Is that 'cause it's more affordable?
Now I'll just shut my fingers and quit rambling. Sorry.
