Troubled by my modchip's inability to accept updates using Wiikey Firmware, I have taken apart my Wii to see what the problem was. I believe that the solder points are ok, so I've narrowed it down to thinking that I might just have a clone. Do you think you guys can tell from this picture I shot?

If it does turn out to be a clone, could you please direct me to where I may find information on soldering an on/off switch tutorial to disable/enable this clone wiikey? Much thanks.

Try looking here:

I couldn't make a definite determination based on the pictures, but I noticed that all of the real WiiKey chips had 810 (or 018) units next to R3 and that one of the clones had a 201 like you have.

As for adding a switch:
