Thanks for this. I swear some repair videos speed run. I work for my partners who have a video game repair business. I’m trying to build resources for people who work on and off. For sure ask this to the playlist. ❤
Thank you we really appreciate the compliment. We try to show as much detail as possible. Make sure to also like the video and subscribe to the channel for more videos like this.
Followed along in real time with my Wii, which is identical to this one. Had to use a plain old utility knife, but otherwise it came apart easily following these steps. This is the one to watch if you're servicing your Wii.
@fishellb, can you please explain how you do the triwing screws with a utility knife? I struggle to remove them as I don't have a tri-wing screwdriver.
I just wanted to mention that you CAN find the security bits at a hardware store. Lowe's sells a ratcheting screwdriver (Kobalt brand) that has size 2 (the kind the Wii uses) and 3 triwing bits.
What type of thermal pads should I use on all other areas already using thermal pads? Conductive or nonconductive for all consoles? Wii, ps2 slim, ps3 slim, ps3 fat, ps4 pro.
My son's Wii is showing vertical WHITE LINES up and down the TV --- do I replace a Graphics Card or the WHOLE motherboard? I can hear - I can see the actual Wii Screen -- but the entire TV screen has a ton of white lines throughout from left to right ...
Your GPU is on its way out. I recommend replacing the entire mainboard since replacing the GPU is not an economical option. Link for mainboard: fasttechstore.com/nintendo-wii-parts/p/nintendo-wii-motherboard
@@fasttechvideo great, mine snapped when i was doing a disassembly to check for capacitors that might have leaked (console is almost 20 years old so it's only logical)
Ok but can you do the 2nd half of this, which is putting it all back together again? And then testing it and running it? I have a dirty thrift store wii i wanna clean and retrobrite, and i want to actually be able put it all back in order without missing anything again.
Sir, I have a Wii, I accidentally stepped on it and I pressed a little hard. Did something happen. Is the outer casing made of a hard material that does not bend?
Ok, i have a two questions about the pads: I have to replace the processor and GPU pads. I was thinking about using a PRO COOLER MASTER Thermal pad, but i read in the comments that console thermal pads should always be non conductive. Would these work or not? And when i tried to remove the wifi module, that black square pad ripped. Is it needed or can i leave it without it? What kind of pad is that (i need the name so i can find online, buy and replace)?
hi is it possible for the Wii to boot and reach its homebrew channel without its game drive? Actually, I want to remove its drive to reduce its weight (light and portable).. kindly update me thank you.
Yes I believe it will but just to be safe leave the logic board of the disc drive connected (data ribbon cable and power cable) and remove the rest of the drive.
LMAO good and funny video but the parts you are selling cost almost the same amount as a used Wii. Might as well buy a different one at this point. Even if you are repairing them to make money its impossible with what you are charging.

Fast tech, PLEASE MAKE A REASSEMBLY VIDEO. I took the Wii apart but I can't put it back together and I need to reassemble it so I can sell it
Ive taken a note of that. There are many more videos in the pipeline but we will do this one eventually
What type of thermal pads should I use on all other areas already using thermal pads? Conductive or nonconductive for all consoles? Wii, ps2 slim, ps3 slim, ps3 fat, ps4 pro.
Always non conductive
So what would cause my wii to have sound but no video? The bluetooth chip has been replaced, and also the av cord.
Dont know about this. Try replacing the AV cable but its most likely a hardware issue
My son's Wii is showing vertical WHITE LINES up and down the TV --- do I replace a Graphics Card or the WHOLE motherboard? I can hear - I can see the actual Wii Screen -- but the entire TV screen has a ton of white lines throughout from left to right ...

Ok but how do I replace the usb port?
I need to open my Wii to replace the capacitors. Going to be a whole other mess removing those.
Good luck 😊
I cannot remove the faceplate screws in the side. Any suggestions ?
Note: I tried WD40 but i still can't remove them
@@thewiiguy Is the screw stripped? Is it a phillips or triwing?
@@fasttechvideoit'd a black trywing
@@fasttechvideo It's a black trywing. It's on the faceplate
@@fasttechvideo 2 black trywing. they are both stripped
Hey my wii doesn't have the game cube option.
@@aircraftsandtrains2309 you have the newer stripped down version with no gamecube support
Hi i accidentally plug my wii to 220v and i heard a loud popped is my wii broken or the adapter is broke
The power adapter is broken. We sell them on our site here: www.fasttech.ca/nintendo-wii-parts/nintendo-wii-power-adapter
Thanks i actually found a spare adapter i might buy for extra
@@kingstar8580 Great
do you guys sell the plastic parts inside?
Yes
@@fasttechvideo great, mine snapped when i was doing a disassembly to check for capacitors that might have leaked (console is almost 20 years old so it's only logical)

Hi,
We are going to be doing this in the near future.
@@fasttechvideo thank you for the reply and I eagerly await
Sir, I have a Wii, I accidentally stepped on it and I pressed a little hard. Did something happen. Is the outer casing made of a hard material that does not bend?
No way to tell unless you open it to see if the frame is damaged. If it works you should be okay though.
When I slightly moved up the mother board in the Last step a ti y sponge came out flying do you know where that goes? It is a grey sponge 1.5 cm x 1cm
Its probably a thermal pad for the processor
My side piece isn’t like cut so I don’t think I can take it off what do I do
Can you be more specific?
6:33 it’s the same thing tho isnt it
shhhhhhh
Ok, i have a two questions about the pads:
I have to replace the processor and GPU pads. I was thinking about using a PRO COOLER MASTER Thermal pad, but i read in the comments that console thermal pads should always be non conductive. Would these work or not?
And when i tried to remove the wifi module, that black square pad ripped. Is it needed or can i leave it without it? What kind of pad is that (i need the name so i can find online, buy and replace)?
Yes you can use the thermal pad you mentioned as long as the thickness matches. The sticky material under the chip can be ignored.
@@fasttechvideo thank you!!! You saved my wii! :D
@@SrNerd please subscribe and like the video so others can find it as well. Cheers and thanks for your comment
hi is it possible for the Wii to boot and reach its homebrew channel without its game drive? Actually, I want to remove its drive to reduce its weight (light and portable).. kindly update me thank you.
Yes I believe it will but just to be safe leave the logic board of the disc drive connected (data ribbon cable and power cable) and remove the rest of the drive.
What about the other model
Hi, I’m looking to purchase a disk drive for my ps3 ceche-01, does the part come with the ribbon or will I have to purchase that separately?
Hi Payton,
Thanks for the question and being a subscriber. The ribbon cable is sold separately
Can show how replace the usb port
Noted. We will possibly do it in the future. Please like the video and subscribe.
Why didn’t you show the reassembly 😢
In the future we will re do this video with assembly
Could I like send my device in for repairs?
Yes absolutely. Email us at service@fasttech.ca
After about an hour of trying, I couldn't get those faceplate screws out. Hate those stubborn little bastards.
Lift up the head of the screw with a flathead as you turn the screw driver anti clockwise.
Are the gpus repairable
You can replace it
@@fasttechvideo does it have to be a donor board? Or once all the OEM ones are dead are we screwed
at 13:34 the brown clip fell what do i do?
Try to put it back in but if you cant you can replace the disc drive logic board.
LMAO good and funny video but the parts you are selling cost almost the same amount as a used Wii. Might as well buy a different one at this point. Even if you are repairing them to make money its impossible with what you are charging.
This is troutstanding.
What does that mean?
@@fasttechvideo like outstanding, but fish themed because trouts are cool
