I had a problem during the installation of a WiiKey modchip.
The Wii works fine and plays originals, but still can't play backups or play the setup disk and it was tested on wii firmware versions 2.2 and 3.0

During installation, i used the triwing and regular screw driver, 25W soldering iron, Lead solder with rosin flux core.

I bought the modchip from modchipcentral.com and i'm pretty sure it's authentic

Here are some pictures








I used LG DVD-R 's for the media and used DVD identifier to provide some more info on the disc
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unique Disc Identifier : [DVD-R:MUST 003]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disc & Book Type : [DVD-R] - [DVD-R]
Manufacturer Name : [Must Technology Co. Ltd.]
Manufacturer ID : [MUST 003]
Blank Disc Capacity : [2,298,496 Sectors = 4.71 GB (4.38 GiB)]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ DVD Identifier V5.0.1 - http://DVD.Identifier.CDfreaks.com ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone know wut the problem could be?
Im thinking i screwed up during the soldering, if so does anyone have any tips on fixing what i've done so far.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I had a hard time making my backup works with a LG burner. The only thing that worked for me was Sony DVD-R or Verbatim DVD-R burned at 4x using CloneCD. Might worth a try...

My Wii only accepts DVD-R (either Verbatim or Sony) when burned with CloneCD. They won't work if burned with ImgBurn or Nero (I may have the pickiest Wii drive around). This may be LG burners specific though.

The way i did it was with a multimeter from Radio Shack and set it to 200 ohms, i think my way is a little unconventional but I simply touched two different points and tested all the connections for resistance, if it gave me 0, it wasn't touching.
