I Restored This $5 Junk Nintendo Wii - Console Restoration & Repair
I bought this Nintendo Wii as part of a bigger lot 10 Wii’s for $50 to restore and repair them. It’s however not working. It turns on but nothing shows up on the screen and the disc drive makes a horrible noise.
First I disassembled the console. I found the Wii had taken some sort of a hit and the leg of the disc drive had broken. I also found the WiFi module had become loose and was causing the issue with no signal. Wii need both WiFi and Bluetooth module connected to start properly. After connecting the module I was able to test the console properly. The port for the sensor bar had some dirt that blocked good connection causing the sensor bar not to work. I cleaned the port to fix that. To fix the noise of the disc drive I had to bent some of the metal parts on the drive. When the console gets old the parts tend to bend due to use and they start to get make such noises due to vibrations from the disc spinning.
Some of the plastic parts of the console were a bit yellowed. I removed the yellowing with a method called retrobrighting. Here’s my tutorial for that:
And tutorial to build the box:
