The Wii Disassembled

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the inside-on-the-outside dept.

mrmcgeeber writes "There are two ways to take apart the Wii. The first, as demonstrated by Popular Science, involves breaking the Wii open due to a lack of tools. The second method is a more formal Wii disassembly guide, which is provided by InformIT.com. Either way, you can see some detailed pictures of the internals of the Wii and how the parts are laid out. The InformIT.com version also includes an eight minute teardown video."

    I would be more interesed to see a controller opened.

    I enjoyed many an hour as a child taking electronics apart and putting them back together

          I used to do the same to small animals. They never worked properly afterwards though - they'd just sit there and pretend to be asleep. Dumb animals...

    Of course ... Canadian chips have better cooling.

    If seeing the Wii disassembled isn't news to you, then why on earth would you click the link, let alone post in the discussion?

    You know, there is a difference between trolling and pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. Just saying.
