1) You could have a Wiikey clone that does not accept the 1.9g update.
2) There could be a soldering problem with you chip
3) Try using all sorts of different Wiikey update files (possibly from different source on the Web .. not just this thread). Also use them is different configurations: regular, GCOS, padded, not-padded, etc..
Strangely enough, it seems that different Wii's prefer different files or burning methods [IMHO, it has to do with the drive's optics]

I understand that solution #3 requires using several blank DVDs and may lead nowhere, but what is the alternative?!?!

You're saying that non-padded iso files at 40mb might work?! I'm gonna try that out. Also, when I try to make a GCOS disk from files that I've filechopped, after I d/l the application and extract it, when I try to open WiiUI I get an error box that says:

Component 'Comdlg32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

Any idea?

Well...just an update...I tried the Memorex discs also, did Padded, Not Padded, Hacked and GCOS, and Wii doesn't recognize any of them either. So looks like a faulty chip. I got my chip from Foundmy.com, and it seems that their "contact us" page is empty. Any one have any contact info, email or phone, for foundmy? Thanks!

Since this is the best site there is with upto date info i feel this is the best place to get infomation regarding wiikey and anything to do with nintendos very cunning updates, which leave mewondering if my wii will work if i put another backup game in. here is all i want to know for today. i recently started the 3.2 update. about half way through i found a post which said that the 3.2 update would make my backup games unplayable. at this point i turned it off. now the system says it is at 3.2e and backup games work. I then wanted to try and add my own picture as the photo channel (photo channel 1.1). so i downloaded it from the shop channel. when i tried to open it there was a message which said that for the photo shop to work i would have to perform a wii system update. Is this a different update to the 3.2e. If i do this update will this render my backups useless. Is it true that the 3.2e update will stop my wiikey from working? thanks

Ive read through this thread, can't seem to find a answer.

I installed a wiikey a few months ago and works fine. Because i wanted to play retail version of SSBB i put a switch in. Well I have the switch turned off and I updated everything and can play SSBB.

My question is when i turn the switch back on and try to play backups will they still work? My logic is the updates are still on the wii and they would recognize the chip and brick it. Has anyone tested the switch after installing updates?
