WASABI - the red light of dead! FIX!

Ok guys her is the fix for those of you experiencing the Red Light issue with the Wasabi chip...

as of now there are 2 fixes. one the first one involves af capacitor and the other one is a more simple solution. If the one solution doesnt work the other might.


Thanks to Wiinewz members Moda (overlooked the first time), jmlacroix and Frenik we now finally have a WORKABLE solution (work-around) to the Red Light Reset Quirk we've all come to know and love . The fix involves a capacitor (we've used 47uF but playing around with different values might give you better results) between point K and GND on the Wasabi chip. e.



The Second solution: make the clock wire as loong as possible and route it around the board....
I went for the second solution and it worked fine for me.... ( a lot easier..)

Rumor Control : Toy Story 3

After attending the the NEXT no. 5: MINDBLOWERS conference in Aarhus Denmark, one of the key speakers Michael B. Johnson who has performed digital midwifery on blockbusters such as Finding Nemo and The Incredibles and runs the Moving Pictures Group at Pixar Animation Studios told the audience that Toy Story 3 is 2 years from completion. yeaay! :)

WASABI - the red light of death!!!!

The Wasabi boasted of an impressive repertoire of features, but could they live up to it?

At the moment, no. A lot of people who went for the chip are experiencing that it does not work properly.

I have personally tried to install 2 of these chips and both times I experienced issues with the drive of the Wii not starting the first time, and the light of the chip staying red, until you reset the Wii a couple of times which is very annoying.
Resetting the chip by connecting the ground wire with the K wire seems to help the chip start. But that is in my opinion a crappy solution because, you need to connect a switch and route it from the drive board and out of the Wii casing so you can access it when you need to.

as of now the Wasabi team has not addressed the problem and time will tell if they ever will and/or there ever will be a solution or not. I fear that the problem not can be resolved with an firmware upgrade but lies within the Wasabi Hardware.
