To install a Wii mod chip its handy to know which wii main board and wii chipset is in your console- as price for installation of a wii mod is different due to differences of the main chip on the Wii.



Using the Wii console Serial number we can generally determine the wii main chip that is installed in a particular Wii. This is only a guide though as we have come across many different chipsets within these Wii Serial Numbers so the only 100% certain way is to open the console.



On the Wii console itself there is a Sticker which labels the console and has the Wii serial numbers on it.




LAH1016 or serial numbers less than this is generally a DMS/D2B chipset which is a straight forward installation of wii chips like Wiikey Freewii cyclowiz wiikey clone and most other wii mods. Wireless mod chip installs are quite simple on these LAH 1016 model type.

LAH1016 and LAH10215 or serial numbers between these the main wii chipset that a wii mod chip is installed onto has 3 legs removed which are contact points for the wii mod chip - On these wii mainboards the 3 legs can be made apparent simply by grinding back the main wii chip until the 3 contact points are revealed enabling a solid soldering contact for the wiikey and other wii mods - these LAH 1016 and LAH 10215 main boards are relatively easy wii mod insatallations picture below.

LAH10216 or higher serial numbers are generally a D2C chipset & have a wii chipset where the contact points for the wii mod chips are apparent but the type of chip set stops most wii mod chips from be able to function. There are now new wii mods available that effectively work on Wii consoles with serial numbers LAH10216 although they require many wires to install and require fine point soldering skills. Wiikey modchips will not work on this LAH 10216 model wii mod chips with D2C Chipset compatibility only.



Dont forget to keep your Wii Mod chip Bios Updated using the latest modchip firmware as there are some games that auto update the Wii Console Firmware code which can cause wii console booting errors.
