Great idea, nice site - have just created my own new Wii related site (www.wiistockcheckers.com) and know just how hard it is to get people to visit, etc! Good luck with it, hope it goes well. BTW, happy to do a link exchange with you if you like. All the best!

The DVD drive serial number doesn't have its last few characters censored. Could the censor be fixed?

I have wii D2E chip covered in black resin. solid and will not remove with heat. The resin chips off but is very strong. I would not recommend trying to remove. I just tried with various tools like drimmel. even this is too big for the job. Took a couple of hours but got the majority off. Makes the wiikey 2 clip not fit correctly, still it seated pretty good. However lights were not correct (constant red first) (then red blue constantly flashing) DVD drive is dead even with chip removed. Must have shorted. I recommend buying a replacement drive Pre-moddedwith this black resin.

"Lack of text on chip" doesn't seem to be a hard-and-fast D3-2 rule. EMBB-series drives with no text on the big chip still appear to be moddable, this was certainly the case with the one I did earlier (narrowing the gap between the D2E-equipped LEH2656 and D3-equipped LEH2676 by half a million - woohoo!)

I just installed a Drivekey on a Wii serial number LU3917989xx Menu 3.4 had no printing on main chip. Drivekey worked with flying colors. Original & backups

I see you have several diffrent colors for the each of the different types of chips on the main screen, that is fine. However for the pie chart, could you make it simply 2 colors, red and green, or add a 2nd pie chart that is Red and Green. Green meaning % chance of being safe. Red meaning % chance that your system has a chip to stop the drive from recognizing the back-up disks. Also "no drive chip" can be interpreted at least two different ways. (a) does not have the drive chip that contains D3-2. (b) chip contains the D3-2 so 'no drive' available for back-up disk use.

BTW great site. I'm glad you guys put this together. Its helping me locate a good older console that can read the back-up disk.... buying it for Christmas! Keep up the good work.

Serial number: LU6640XXXX * There is a 50% chance the chipset is GC2-D2E and covered in black glue. I am being told by this website that a chip that might work with my wii is the drivekey. however the drivekey site says: "If you bought your wii after August 2009 there is a chance this product will not work on your wii." I am not sure if this site can be 100% trusted or not.

I have a Wii with Serial# LU2015XXXXX. Does anyone know which drive does my system has? Is it the D3-2? I bought mine in US on June 2010. Thanks.

Great site, just 1 simple question. When we search for serial nr, it always tels how much the percentage is of the change wich drive it is. How do we know wich drive can play backups? i.e. 60% D2B drive, great to know, but does it play backups Yes, for 60% or not?

The "Identify" page seems very interesting, but I think it's not functional (Jan 10th, 2012). I tried Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Android's default browser. It says "Enter your serial number:" so I did. But there is no button like [Enter] or [Go] or [Look it up now] or anything like that. I try pressing the enter key on my keyboard but nothing happens. Funny, several other web sites link to here, so it must be a great site :@) PLEASE FIX THIS PAGE!!!! Thank you for all the other information

Your serial number codes (the letters) are out of date, and so are the model numbers. New Wii's (the ones without GC ports) use RVK instead of RVL, and the USA Wii's start with KU instead of LU. I do not know what the other regions use for other Wii's. Here is a list of ones I know are used: LJF LU LEH LEM LEF LKM LAH KU

This is a great site and really helps when purchasing a Wii. Given that the Nintendo 3DS now has a working flash card (Gateway 3DS), have you considered making a similar serial database for the 3DS to relate serials with firmware versions? As of this post, Gateway 3DS only supports a limited set of firmware versions. It'd be very helpful. Thanks again for this site.

From my experience D4 drives are for the Wii Family Edition (RVL-101) and as such reject Gamecube drives. I don't think there's much knowledge on this but it would be good to confirm which drives take them and which don't. There's a difference on the 'banana shaped' hole on top of the drive, if there's a metal stop in the middle, it rejects gamecube discs.
