You really should wrap those wires. At least with electrical tape.
Is that an NPN or PNP?
What is the value of the resistor?

Is it upside down?

As in E soldered to C and C soldered to E.
Your B look right.

ok well heres what ive been able to do so far. i unsoldered the transistor off and then the wii turned on and worked fine,
Problems:
1. when wii is turned on and then trans put back on, works fine but light is still on at standby
2. solder pad came off the wii (how can i fix it?)
3. if trans hooked up and i turn the wii off it wont turn back on (wait let me check that, nope nvm itll turn back on)
4. dont know where esle to solder the B point to.

Yes, that transistor will work.

To Wii Modder, it looks like it could short out on the screw hole there when the screw is inserted. Other than that, provided you did use a NPN resistor, and not PNP, it looks right. The problem with the solder pad coming off is a problem though. I'm not sure where else to use for that.

Pablot (original poster) won't have internet access for a few weeks, but he might be able to give further input then.

How is that VulseVU chip? I was thinking about getting it. and is it alot harder then installing the wiikey? I installed a wiikey today (quick solder) and it was a lot easier then I thought it would be. a hell of a lot smaller, but very easy.

The PulseVU is a very easy install. (Especially V2.) It doesn't have a quicksolder option though; you have to use wires, but the points you solder to are ginormous. Unfortunately though, it's sold out right now.

at least the points are big. wiikey was my first modchip, everything before was softmodded, and my god I opened it up and seriously stared at it for a min. every pic and video makes the wiikey, hell the wii solder area in general look huge. and for wire installs (I have never really soldered wire for anything important or up to date) this is going to sound awkward I guess but can I use speaker wire? lmao. reason being is I have alot laying around and it's always worked for what I needed it for.

Speaker wire is too big and clumsy for this type of work. It is still wire though, so I guess it technically will work, but it would be hard to attach securely.
