Hi all,
I have attempted to mod my Wii with the WiiKey v2 chip.
I have the G2C-D2B chipset.
The guides said to solder the 3.3 GND and points A,B and C.
when tring to solder point A I managed to over heat the contact, A little square metal solder contact came away from the board.
Also I noticed a very thin wire that led into the pad has also came free from the PCB.
Do you think I have damaged this beyond repair or is this fixable.
I will upload Pics when I get home if needed.
Also the WiiKey V2 chip has a missing solder contact aswell. Is this also repairable.....

Ok here is a picture of the damage......
and here is the WiiKey
How Would I fix it....
I am gonna need a magnifying glass to start I know.
Can I paint the missing lines in with conductive paint ?
Regards
I think I would have done less damage with a blowtorch....... lol
The soldering Iron I have and used is an antex XS25 with a small nib.
I did not use tinner or flux.
I have lightly sanded the nib as it was discoloured (sort of brown) and will be getting a Helping hand with Magnifying glass and flux tinner tomorrow.
regards
I will clean it up tomorrow when I have a magnifying glass. What do you suggest using to clean it ?
Regards
Anybody know where I can get kaynar wire.
All I can find in maplin is Equipment Wire (7/0·2) - Code: BL00A
The 7 is the number of strands I presume and the 0.2 is the diameter. Will this be ok ?
Regards
