My WiiKey hasn't gone to plan I had to remove it after a suspect no solder contact, in doing so I have removed one of the pads from the DVD drive itself, point 6 to be exact, as a result I cannot get any flux to adhere to it.
I was looking at the D2B install guide, and now have an idea. Can I wire contact point 6 in the wiikey directly to the larger chip below where the key is ment to go as per this: http://www.wiikeyguide.com/images/Wi...-Guide-D2B.pdf
Any advice greatly appreciated. Beer or cookies can be provided
After pulling a pad, the only way to get it working is to follow the trace to the IC leg that corresponds to that point, so yes, that you can follow that diagram. I'll take the beer, not a cookie fan
If you lifted a pad are you sure you want to try to solder to a trace or IC?
You may want to step away from the drive and find someone to fix it.
I think he had it quick-soldered which is why a pad was removed when he tried to remove the chip... I wouldn't say a removed pad in this case indicates bad soldering skills. Hell, i've removed a few pads in the early days by removing quicksolder jobs.
I solder for a living (IT Bod) but these things are sooooo damn small! Its the second one I have done. First one was spot on, but this one didn't want to work. The DVD drive decided it didn't want to accept disks, was going through a full insert and removal for far too long. Took it off and then im punished for my sins
Time to dig some wire out and solder point 6 to the 8 pin along on the DVD chip. The rest can damn well stay there!
...and Cheeky Monkey (my friend from Console Workshop who actually wrote that guide) will take the cookies !
