Well I just got my wiikey in the mail and ive never soldered in my life. I thought since I had plenty of welding experience itd be cake lol? well i started to do the quick solder method than realized my hands werent steady enough so undid i the 3 pts i did. than i tried the wire method and was doing fairly well than i realized that 1 of the wires came loose had all but 1 wire done so i went back and tried to fix that 1 and i pulled off all the solder on the wii chip all thats left is a black square and i accidently ripped a 2nd one off and all thats left there is a black square now too. is there any way i can still do this?

Advise you location and perhaps someone on the forums can recommend a professional installer.

A wiikey install is not for the inexperienced. Hope your wii is salvagable.
