I finished all the other points, but I messed up pin 6 is there an alternate point for pin 6?

follow the track on the board to the ic chip and solder it directley to the leg if i remember correctley it goes to leg number 8 as you count them up but please check, i haven done a wiikey for a while

does this right? i wasn't sure if this was it because these are different solder points

yes thats right its the eighth pin from the right
when you say these are differrent solder points do you mean youve used alternative ones

the different solder points that i use where the ones according to this guide...

what happened was i got sloppy when soldering pin 6 and basically there is no solder left on pin 6 (not on the wiikey on the board). so can i just run pin 6 from the wiikey to leg 8 on the ic chip?

i wired to the ic chip (pinout 8) when i turn on the wii everything is fine, but the dvd drive is not spinning up. i have checked al the connections...

if the drive is not spinning up its 99% the install .... check all the connections with a test meter and a good magnyfying glass

I connected pin six to the 8th leg with some small wire and its working like a champ.

glad to help m8

So Happy I came upon this thread. I did the same thing but on point 3. What guage wire did you use to solder on the IC chip?

use 30swg kaynar
