This is a customizable order form for the Nintendo Wii and the various services offered. Please note that all costs listed are for service only, requiring you to ship not only the console but the mod/upgrade parts you have purchased yourself (with exception to the Full Recap Service as I will provide new capacitors from Console5)
HDMI Mod Install – $70.00
Even though the Wii released after HDTV’s were becoming a standard Nintendo for whatever reason stuck with only analog output via composite/component. If you want the best possible upgrade for the Wii to connect to a scaler or modern HDTV you have the following two choices:
PixelFX – The Retro GEM is the ultimate HDMI kit for your retro gaming consoles. Digital lag-free HDMI output, Simple firmware update procedure via WiFi, Advanced scaling and video filters in Shiny Edition, Native Direct video in Basic Edition – Perfect for people who already own an external scaler. This kit can be installed into all models of Wii. The HDMI output port location is a mini hdmi that requires a small console cut. The basic can be upgraded to the Shiny at any time, even after installing into a console. Upgrades can be purchased HERE or through the GEM kits on screen display.
ElectronAVE – This design accepts the digital video output from the Nintendo Wii and uses ikorb’s GCVideo to output a high quality, configurable HDMIâ„¢ output to any compatible display! All ElectronAVE units are sent with the latest stable release of GCVideo.Currently that version is 3.1. The ElectronAVE can easily be installed into any Wii (excluding the Wii Mini) using the on-board vias associated with the internal digital video and audio communications. This design can either be used directly as is or configured with the use of a universal remote or a GameCube controller. If you want to use a GameCube controller for configuration, then you can press L+R+X+Y and the configuration menu will open. GameCube controllers can only be used on Wii’s that have GameCube controller inputs.
This service covers the installation of your chosen kit but you will need to provide it yourself and you can get it from the following sites below:
PixelFX – RetroGEM Wii Kit
ElectronShep – Electron AVE HDMI Kit
Full Recap Service – $40.00
Electrolytic Capacitors have an estimated shelf life of about 15 years and many of these old retro gaming systems are long past that time. Prevent unwanted power, video or audio issues by proactively replacing these in your Nintendo Wii system
Full Service Cleaning – $20.00
After years of heavy use many consoles will exhibit accumulation of dirt, dust and debris and this can not only impact the aesthetic appearance of the system but dirty system components can impact component life and performance. Your console will be completely disassembled and cleaned from the inside out. All PCB and internal electrical components will have dust and debris removed via an electronic air compressor and then be cleaned with 99% isopropyl alcohol and brushed clean. Outer shell and other non-electronic components will be taken apart and soaked in a soap/water mixture and carefully scrubbed to remove stains and debris buildup. Any light markings, scuffs or other blemishes will be safely removed to the best of my ability. Once the console is re-assembled the outer shell will be given a coat of plastic UV protectant to restore shine and prevent UV damage
