Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I want to open my wii, that has been running by some problems, doesn't turn on. The power button blinks red.

I'm sure it's not a software brick, the last times it turned on i was playing normally, nothing out of usual.

Well when tried to open it, we suffered a lot, fortunately we could get out some of the screws with a bent knife, but the problem, is the two big deep ones hidden.

We tried with melting toothbrush method, pens, and nothing.

you have tried every trick in my book. maybe somebody else has a better trick?

imo its best to get a triwing screwdriver or screwdriver set that has triwing. they are far from expensive these days

im using a Jakemy JK-6089 set nowadays and it has nearly everything i need (besides thicker screwdriver heads and gamebit, but i have other sets for that )

If you don't want a full set, you can probably get a Wii-specific triwing screwdriver for pennies from Ebay. I tried filing an old screwdriver into a triwing once, and can honestly say that no one's time is worth the cost.

Yeah, I got my triwing for 1$ from ebay, I need it to disassemble my GameCube controler.

Well, the only, little problem it's that it's almost impossible to get a dollar here...

I'll see if somewhere i can buy it in a local market or maybe in an electronic store.

And thank you all! At least i know it's "cheap"

I found it!

Not cheap though, it's time to break the piggy bank.
