Great guide. I had no problems.
Ugh, I went and purchased an iFixit Essential Electronics Toolkit and the Tri-wing screwdriver is too small! Y000 is what it says on the box, time to return this purchase.
Unfortunately this guide stops half way through and doesn’t include the other side of the case, which involves quite a few screws as the motherboard is screwed down in quite a few places, and the cpu heatsink has to come up, it’s much more complicated than this.
yes i would love if the poster edited the guide and made it so it could be used as a "reshell" guide because i am considering purchaseing a lower condition wii and reshelling it in another color
