I totally agree...The Wasabi team needs to investigate into this further and hopefully come out with a updated firmware and not a hardware update.

everything works fine with the capacitor

try this

Am I wrong or did you use the other CLK point on the Wii's PCB ?
Normally one should use the point next to it.
And I see this is a D2C(2) model, not a D2E.
Would surprise me if these same issues occur on both D2E and D2C(2).

Yeah i just notice that too.. He's using a clk point for the d2pro.

The Wasabi uses the one next to it. Maybe thats your problem try changing the clk point
and see what happens.

I will try the 47 uf capacitor later on today and see if the issue goes away.

Ok, please let us know what the result is. I am very curious...

BTW, you also can try to connect C, D and E point together on the Wasabi's PCB. And believe me, you can try this without risk. I have had this information from Wasabi team a few months ago when I had a problem with a D2C2 drive, so who knows this will help in this case.

tried the 47 uf capacitor one point to k and one point to ground like palhinhaa said.

Same issue didn't fix the problem.

Will try moely solution next and see how it goes..will keep you guys updated.

I guess you don't have a D2Pro V3 to try, otherwise you would have done that already ? I am not a big fan of D2Pro but it would be nice to see whether the issue remains or that it is solved.

i had the same problem now with 9 drives green light bit not working drive's all death
after on and off a view time drive working fine.

tryed a wizardmod on same wires that is running perfect

i guess a firmware that is not correct on the wasabi chip

Like i said it only work somtimes like 1 out of 8 tries...The rest of the time it wont accept any disc at all.

I also notice that if i turn power on and off like 6 or 10 times the green stays solid and the red light on the wasabi starts to blink...kind of weird i have no glue whats wrong with it.

Perhaps wrong backup media? Verbatim DVD-R has reputation of working 100% for wii -backup purposes....

Its not a media issue, as having a disc in the drive or not makes no difference as to whether the drive spins up at startup, and any media/game will work once you have got the wii to start with the drive spinning - if you get what i mean.

Its like the drive hasnt received a command to startup, although the neon blue light around the drive always flashes on whatever...

[tungvo]

Tried the C, D and E points together..

Same dead drive issue nothing changed...
