I took apart my WII to see about the complexity of the Argon mod install and Ive decided I cant do it and will send it out to be done.

Anyway, as I was taking it apart I noticed a small plastic piece on my work table that came off the WII somewhere but I cant tell where. Here is what it looks like.




Please help!

Is that the battery? Is the object a broken piece of something else or a whole piece in itself?

I actually found this picture from another thread on afterdawn from someone with the same problem back in april http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/497105 . I have no idea what the round object is (flash maybe?) Anyway, the plastic piece is not broken. I opened up the wii down to the motherboard and as I was putting the unit back together that plastic piece was laying beside the Gamecube Gamepad ports.

I have absolutely no idea where this goes as I did not see it come off anywhere and it is so hard to see where such a piece would go in the wii. My best guess is that this piece is part of the DVD drive mechanism since it resembles other pieces in the mechanism with the springs and what not.

In the other post the guy with the same problem said he heard a clicking noise in his WII without this piece installed and it must be the DVD mechanism but I cant tell where.
