Wiiコンソールからすべての外部コードの接続を外します。

作業に使用する全てのツールです。

1本の小さなネジでBIOSメモリバッテリーが固定されています。

このネジを外したら、プラスチック製のスロットを引き出します。

黒い3本のねじを取り外します。右側のネジは他のネジと比べて数mm長いです。これらのネジは、Game Cubeポート用の黒いプラスチックカバーを固定しています。

黒いプラスチックプレートを持ち上げて外します。

4本のネジがあります。2本のプラス＃00と2本のトライウィングです。

ケースからすべてのネジを外します。

いくつかのケースのネジには、トライウイングネジ用ドライバーが必要です。

次の手順では、ゴム足とその下にあるネジを外した写真を表示します。フットとネジカバーは粘着式ですが、すべてのフットまたはネジカバーにネジが付いているわけではありません。

Remove rubber feet and screws underneath.

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.

Now the case can be pulled apart.

We lifted up the cover of the optical drive by removing the six Phillips #00 screws. These are all labeled on the previous image.

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.

The screws holding in the drive were deep within the casing.

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

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

With those wires detached, the optical drive came off completely.

We begin trying to get to the logic board by removing this small black plastic rim.

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.

Take out these screws in the black plastic casing.

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.

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.

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.

Once all screws are removed, lift off the logic board cover.

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.

Take some more awesome photos.

And take a couple more photos.

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).
