Entferne die beiden 8,3 mm TriWing Schrauben unter den eben abgelösten Abdeckungen.
1/16 x 1 craftsman Phillips mini screwdriver works for this if you don’t have the tri-wing driver
I am using a 18ct empty egg carton to hold the screws/parts removed in the steps.
Larry’s idea about the bins was great and helpful.
Robots is right- you NEED a Y1. Just buy the thing with the drive. I didn’t, tried many other options, none worked. Had to order the thing separately with shipping. Mistake….

surprisingly, this was the trickiest step for me. I almost completely mangled the wires when my tweezers slipped as I was attempting to remove the connector.
I removed it with a spudger, gently lift from each side until it pops out.
For those reassembling
line up the pins push it in with your spudger gently until it's in. Then line up the front plate, push gently, confirm everything is where it should be and push firmly, I found it needed a strong push to sit flush with the other body panels.
I ended up using needle nose pliars on this step.
Awesome detailed guide made this very easy, thank you author!
Can someone direct me to what I need to do? My tweezers slipped and I cut one of the wires on the connector. Where can I find a new Y plug for the wii?
This was the hardest part for me. I tried using my fingernails, two different tweezers, and needle nose pliers, but I ended up cutting both the wires. Anyway, I put some electric tape over the exposed wires and just reassembled the system. Funny thing is that the LED still works and I have not noticed any difference. I'm not sure what those wires did, but they seem to not be important.
For people still wondering after all these years, :), The connector is for the blue leds around the dvd when loading and unloading a disk.

I also broke off the flimsy wires at the connector. To NOT break the wires, alternate pressing on the right and left sides of the connector with a small flathead screwdriver. Be patient, it will eventually work itself free. There isn't enough to grab onto with the tweezers and you'll only succeed in having them slip off, grab the wires, and yank the wires out.
Good news is that if you do rip out the wires, no worries... I didn't reconnect them and the unit works just fine. I have no idea what those wires are even for. Power LED continues to work no problem.
This guide is really marvellous - works a treat. But I would definitely recommend needle nose pliers for this step rather than tweezers. It's really easy if you use pliers and potentially damaging if not, and you get it wrong. I had one sniff at it with tweezers then immediate nipped out to the garage for my pliers!
Needlenose pliers did the trick for us!

You can save yourself some trouble at this point and skip the rest of the disassembly: See that green tab to the left of the sd card slot? THAT’S the wifi board (and that green tab, in hindsight, seems designed to make it accessible without taking apart the whole device, don’t you think?) A little careful spudging, and you’ve got it out, ready to replace! (There’s a guy who shows the process on youtube, if you want to review first)
I got the connector out ok thanks to the suggestions here, but I couldn’t figure out how to reattach it. In the end, I just kind of threw it in and it worked fine.
Very clear instructions - thanks! Faceplate needed replacing after one of my son’s friends accidentally kicked it across the room. $10 bucks to fix, thanks to ebay and these instructions. I’d never heard of a “tri-wing” screw before.
I just left the connector alone and kept it connected while working on it. There is enough wire to allow you to do what you need if you are just careful not to snag it on anything.
I, too, left the connector attached and just took care that the loose faceplate did not stretch the (not crucial) wire when moving rest of the Wii.
This was the trickiest part, I almost broke the wires using tweezers and pliers, so instead use a flat end screwdriver to pry it out, when putting it back in use needlenose pliers to start it then use your fingernail to go the rest of the way.
Anyone know of a method to replace the connector if you end up breaking the wires? Bits of wire are stuck in the white plastic connector, so I'm wondering if I can buy a connector online somewhere without replacing the whole face plate. Thanks :)
I severed both wires. If you want to avoid removing the connector, you can lengthen the two wires by unserpentining them from the wire holder that's in the cover.
Make sure there is no SD card in your unit before pulling this off, otherwise it'll get stuck and you could snap your sd card in half!

Öffne die Abdeckung über den Controller-Ports bis sie rechtwinklig zur schwarzen Blende ist.

Ziehe die Abdeckung gerade heraus und löse sie vom äusseren Gehäuse.
I wasn't able to reassemble the socket covers when I reversed this step..
While disassembling, I did as instructed pulling the covers upwards when they where perpendicular to the black cover plate but Nintendos instructions says to open the covers (so that they are perpendicular to the black cover plate) and then gently push the covers towards the console with your fingers on the outside of the cover opposite side of the hinges so that the cover hinges will pop out and then lift it up..
I'm not sure, but I think ignoring Nintendos instructions caused the hinge sockets to break for me, so replacing the controller/memory card socket covers will not work.
When reassembling, the cover can be placed perpendicular to the black cover plate and rest on the plastic hinge with a few millimeters between the cover and the console, and then they can be pushed down to click in place. But in my case they keep falling all the way down since there's no resistance and nothing to click into.

Entferne die beiden 4,1 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben am oberen Rand der schwarzen Kunststoffblende der Controller-Ports.
-
Hebe die Blende der langen Kante gegenüber den Controller-Ports hoch und entferne sie von der Wii.
The 3rd hole is in step 3.
The bezel is the flat black plate. Removing the three screws that secure it allows you to remove it. If your cube is like mine, this plate likes where it lives and, even with the screws removed, managed to stay in situ without anything holding it.
Beware. The edge of the bezel, opposite these screws, has clips. Lift the bezel from the top edge, where the the screws are, to avoid breaking these clips.

Entferne folgende Schrauben:
-
Zwei 5 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben

Eine 8,2 mm Tri-Wing Schraube
Instead of the Phillips screw on the left I had a very small one under a cover to the left of that!

-
Darunter befinden sich zwei 8,2 mm TriWing Schrauben. Drehe sie heraus.

Eventuell benötigst du eine Verlängerung für das 4 mm Sechskantbit, um die Schrauben in den tiefen Löchern zu erreichen.
had a little trouble with theses screws. they were just barely too deep for my 54pies bit driver kit to reach. I ended up inserting a small wad of paper into the shaft of my driver so the tri-wing bit stuck out far enough to engage the screw. (I used the tweezers to remove the paper when I was done) :)
I can confirm, this works fantasticly!
Thank you
When putting the screws back in hold the tip still with the screw and carefully drop it in.
Thank you rbelknap, this is excellent advice for those using the ifixit branded driver.
You could also use the 4mm nut driver in the iFixit kit to turn the tri-wing driver. This will give you a little more reach.
How is no one talking about the included 4mm nut driver trick at Edward Tucker mentioned?! That is genius! Thanks mate!
Zabuza -
That's the idea that I needed. Agree with Zabuza.
cwdick -
Bingo. All of the other comments were unnecessary.
Because it doesn't come with the screw driver in the kit. Only has the tri wing and the cross tips.
This paper wad trick totally worked for me too!
Standard Tri-Wing bits will NOT fit into the holes. Make sure that you get one of the tool kits from iFixit (I just ordered the Mako Driver/Bit kit with 64 bits ) - the Tri-Wing bits in this kit have a narrow shaft that allows it to reach deep into narrow holes like these on the Wii . (Disclaimer - I have no association with iFixit).
I just sawed off a bit of the shank holder from the iFixit tool, in order for the bit to go deep enough into the case.
The tool still works fine.
The 4mm driver was the exact fix for this problem, no mods necessary

Hebe das äußere Gehäuse vom Rest der Wii weg.
This step could use at least another picture from the backside so it's clearer what comes up and what stays down.
I used a spudger around the edges of the outer case to gently ease it upward since I could not lift it out with my fingers. Then it came right out.
Good tip. Having, in the past, broken pieces that required a little persuasion, I attempted to "lift" the outer case, but it wouldn't budge. Using the spudger to persuade it worked like a charm. Also added this suggestion to Step 18 "Lift the drive shield."
hey marko that really helped me thanks\. als if you need help figuring which side is up, its the one with the nintendo engraving on it
A fan filter fell out at this step how do you put it back?
Edit: I figured it out it was from the side intake vent. Just line up the two notches with the pegs in the case to hold it in place
This is an awful guide

Awesome guide, just replaced faulty fan unit in my 9 year old wii. Should hopefully keep it going for another 9 years :)
Super easy and great instructions! I feel a little guilty that my Wii sat in the garage for 4 years! Now it'll be a great birthday present for my 2 boys.
Does anyone have a diagram for the Wii’s airflow? I’m looking to install a booster fan at the bottom to help blow air in but I want to make sure it is effective.
nice¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Thanks! Wii Quarantine’n in 2021!
Muito obrigado!
Die Abdeckungen sind geklebt, stecken also nicht.

Thanks I almost removed the rubber feet

If you’re wondering what to use for this, the main blade of a pocket knife from the corner of the plastic works well.

As you remove the hardware in each step, place them together on a sheet of paper and circle them with the step number.
