Wiimote Power Button Mod

Have you ever wondered if your wiimote was on cause your hands were over the LEDS, or you not know if when you turn the power off to your wii if it dreally goes off, well now you'll know. Here is my tutorail for modding ur power button on your wiimote.
What you need-
One tri-wing screwdriver
One 3mm LED of you color choice
One resistor
One soldering iron with solder
About 3 inchs or wire.
One wiimote (duh)

Step 1: Take your wiimote apart

Take your wiimote apart, unscrew it with the tri-wing screwdriver then pray it open.
WATCH OUT: watch it the front of the wiimote has clips that hold it in place nad if you pray the wrong way they will break off, causing trouble, what i do is pray the back up alittle bit then stick a butter knife in side and pull up.

The Wiimote brand new cost $40 at a store. The guy was asking to buy a modded one, which can be done for $70.

Sure I don't mind. I like modding for the fun of it but it is always nice to make a little money doing it. (to pay for cost and labor) Also that $70 mark has its reasons, one is that that price includes all cost including shipping, two is to defer people away from being lazy and buy one so they make it themselves. (PM me if you still want to talk about this)

I noticed you have more than one LED active at a time. I was wondering how you went about doing this, because I'm interested in doing more than one LED in one remote. I'm assuming you placed them in series, but wasn't sure. Maybe you could make an instructable on how to do multiple LEDs on one remote? If you could, that'd be great :D

That means you either blew a fuse or blew up the wiimote. Follow my repair guide on this Instructable. http://www.instructables.com/id/Muiltple-Wiimote-mods-all-in-One./

The power glow looks like an overdose in the picture. Does it look really good in person. If you say yes I will add this.

Wiimote Master (author) in reply to twist2bSep 27, 2008. 9:07 PM

Yes

Well the $70 will pay for shipping, wiimote, supplys, and labor. And i dont even know how much shipping will be. If you really want me to make you a modded wiimote, talk to me using email.
