    • Disconnect all external cords from the Wii console.

    • Gather all tools.

  2. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 2, imagen 1 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 2, imagen 2 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 2, imagen 3 de 3
    • One small screw holds the BIOS memory battery.

    • Once that screw is removed, you can slide out the plastic slot.

  3. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 3, imagen 1 de 2 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 3, imagen 2 de 2
    • Remove these three black case screws. The one on the right is a few mm longer. These screws hold on the black plastic cover for the GameCube ports.

  4. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 4, imagen 1 de 2 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 4, imagen 2 de 2
    • Lift off the black plastic plate.

    • There are four screws: two Phillips #00 and two Tri-Wing.

  5. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 5, imagen 1 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 5, imagen 2 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 5, imagen 3 de 3
    • Remove all screws from the case.

    • Some screws are under rubber feet, or small, square paper screw covers (red square). I used a sharp metal tool to get under the screw covers. You could use an X-acto knife.

    • Several case screws require a Tri-Wing screwdriver.

    • The next step has more pictures of removing rubber feet and the screws underneath. The feet and screwcovers are self-adhesive, but not every foot or screwcover has a screw.

  6. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 6, imagen 1 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 6, imagen 2 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 6, imagen 3 de 3
    • Remove rubber feet and screws underneath.

  7. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 7, imagen 1 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 7, imagen 2 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 7, imagen 3 de 3
    • Careful! If you don't remove the feet and the screws underneath before you try to pull off the front panel, the tab can split!

    • Once all screws are removed, you should be able to pull off the front drive panel.

    • The wire connecting the front panel (green squares in the third image) can be pulled out gently by hand or with the help of a spudger.

  8. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 8, imagen 1 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 8, imagen 2 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 8, imagen 3 de 3
    • Now the case can be pulled apart.

  9. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 9, imagen 1 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 9, imagen 2 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 9, imagen 3 de 3
    • We lifted up the cover of the optical drive by removing the six Phillips #00 screws. These are all labeled on the previous image.

    • Because of a secured wire leading to the drive, we reattached the cover to facilitate the remove of the entire drive assembly without harming any of the electronics.

    • There are a ton of parts in the optical drive, but there is nothing very fancy about this drive compared to other slot-loading drives, so I didn't take it apart completely. There are also a ton of gears and levers that I did not want to deal with.

  10. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 10, imagen 1 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 10, imagen 2 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 10, imagen 3 de 3
    • The screws holding in the drive were deep within the casing.

    • Once those screws were removed, the entire case could be lifted off.

    • Don't pull too hard! There are two cables attaching the drive to the logic board underneath.

    • This wire slid out from its horizontal slot. Once it was detached, the ribbon cable came out as well.

  11. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 11, imagen 1 de 2 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 11, imagen 2 de 2
    • With those wires detached, the optical drive came off completely.

  12. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 12, imagen 1 de 2 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 12, imagen 2 de 2
    • We begin trying to get to the logic board by removing this small black plastic rim.

    • Once within the case, all screws are Phillips #00. There are marked on the logic board with arrows, triangles, boxes, and crosses. From what I can tell, an arrow means that it just goes through the logic board cover. A triangle means that it is a longer logic board cover screw. A cross means that it holds on a plastic piece, and a box means that it holds on another EM shield / or heat sink.

  13. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 13, imagen 1 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 13, imagen 2 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 13, imagen 3 de 3
    • Remove all screws from the logic board cover. Two are recessed in the middle; others are along the edge. More will become visible as other parts are removed. It's like a game! You can start with the screws holding in the black plastic pieces, but I started with the most visible and went from there.

    • There are two wires (shown in the third picture) coming from the logic board and connected to the Wi-Fi antennas. These are delicate. Do not break them.

  14. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 14, imagen 1 de 2 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 14, imagen 2 de 2
    • Take out these screws in the black plastic casing.

  15. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 15, imagen 1 de 2 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 15, imagen 2 de 2
    • Detach the case fan. There are two screws holding it in.

    • You must detach the power connector for the fan if you want to remove it completely.

  16. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 16, imagen 1 de 2 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 16, imagen 2 de 2
    • If your screwdriver is not magnetized, you will need a magnet to get out some of the embedded screws. You can hold a magnet against your screwdriver shaft to temporarily magnetize it.

    • Once all the screws out, you can begin to remove the black casing.

  17. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 17, imagen 1 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 17, imagen 2 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 17, imagen 3 de 3
    • With the black plastic covers off, we can see all the screw holes. Most of the screws are out by now, but once the rest of them are out, you can lift off the logic board cover.

    • Note that at least one part is thermal padded to the logic board cover. You might have to replace this thermal pad, but I didn't. I just pushed them back together. Oh well!

    • Remove any remaining screws in the logic board cover.

  18. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 18, imagen 1 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 18, imagen 2 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 18, imagen 3 de 3
    • Once all screws are removed, lift off the logic board cover.

  19. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 19, imagen 1 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 19, imagen 2 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 19, imagen 3 de 3
    • Look around.

    • This is the thermal padding.

    • We opted not to remove the heat sink from the logic board, but it certainly could be removed.

  20. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 20, imagen 1 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 20, imagen 2 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 20, imagen 3 de 3
    • Take some more awesome photos.

  21. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 21, imagen 1 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 21, imagen 2 de 3 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 21, imagen 3 de 3
    • And take a couple more photos.

  22. Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 22, imagen 1 de 2 Nintendo Wii Teardown: paso 22, imagen 2 de 2
    • We stopped there.

    • A muffin tin worked really well to organize all the screws.

    • Putting the Wii back together took only about half an hour, and it works perfectly. We improved Nintendo's design by three or four screws and one square nut, but worsened their design by one piece of duct tape (to hold in the bios battery).

I was kinda hoping you would take apart the optical drive assembly, you said there is "nothing fancy" about it, but since Nintendo designed this drive to be able to take the "mini" discs from GameCube, they have to work out a mechanism to center the disc before loading it onto the motor, hence "a ton of gear and levers" and that's the exact thing I actually wanted to see, I really wanted to know how they made it work..

:P

Maybe I can make a guide for you with it like that. I plan to replace the Hard Drive in my wii so ill make a guide.

ZeldaAwesome -

@zeldaawesome It is not a hard drive, it is NAND. In fact, that’s about as far away from a hard drive as you can get.

Xu Xian -

I have a dud drive, so i might just do this.

Nosh Ware -

Nice guide. I have one suggestion and one comment to add.

Suggestion: a different color circle in the pictures for the Tri tip screws would speed up re-installation.

Comment: the extra square nut holds in the BIOS battery cover which is quite inconvenient to discover as it is the last screw you reinstall.
