If you need a solderless chip, I would suggest Drive Key x4

No soldering needed at all.
- Disconnect the Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) between the wii dvd mainboard and the wii mainboard.
- Connect the included FFC to the wii dvd mainboard and one side marked 'dvd' of the Drivekey.
- Connect the existing FFC from the wii mainboard to the one side marked 'wii' of the DriveKey.

Supports all wii dvd drive models!

So if you have an epoxy board or D3 board, this is the perfect solution for you, and still even works all current wii dvd mainboards!

But who needs chip now, softmod is way better and cheaper.....

Softmodding has, in my opinion, led to slower load times and FMV's that skip (i.e. Wario Land: Shake It, Tales of Symphonia DotNW, etc). At least with hard mod, you are guaranteed accurate speeds.
