Hey guys, So I’ve decided to do some :snky: with my new wii, I can’t be risking my original copies of my games, I’d much prefer to work with backups. Only problem is, looking at the chip, there are 6 really small solder points, and I don’t want to fuck up my console, being a soldering n00b. I have all of the schematics, as well as videos of the install. Anyone willing to make a few bucks with a quick 5 minute install? ---

If those guys can’t do it let me know; I’ve got all the equipment and know how to do fine pitch SMT parts. ---

:tup: looks like there are plenty of people who can do it, i knew the huge nerd corner would come in handy. Will be back in touch with everyone when it comes in and see who it’s most convenient for. It’s a WiiKey, if anyone is curious. ---

**Im gonna bump this up as im looking for similar services.** Bought a brand new Mac Mini and upon installation of an SSD, I accidentally pried an entire clip off the solders that connects the fan to the board (apparently its a super common problem). Need someone who has the tools or capabilities to do some really fine solders. Would be glad to compensate anyone for their time. If this sounds like something you could do (or you know someone who can do it) anytime in the near future PLEASE let me know. ---
