is there any site were i can check what chipset i have in my wii my serial is leh13131720.
i have installed a wiikey and have tried everything to get it to work but cant, so i have come to the conclusion that i have got a bad wii or i have a d2c chip set.

thanks in advance jay2108.................

If you've already installed a chip, then open it back up, and check to see what chipset you have! IF you see any legs cut on the chips, then that may be a problem on why the Wiikey isn't working! If you have a D2C chipset, it can't be modded with a Wiikey!

Your Drive Chip is most likely GC2-D2B.

Your Drive Pins are most likely cut.

Did you remember to grind the D2B chip down to expose the traces and solder there?

Okay, well then you need to connect the Chip to those legs that are trimmed! Those legs match a certain point on the Board that the Wiikey was supposed to be soldered to.
