Tools and Hardware Reviews of Silverhill Triwing Y Screwdriver for Nintendo Products Including Wii, Ds Lite, Ds, Gba, Wiimote, Nunchuck, Sensor Bar, EtcCustomer Review: Get THIS triwing, And DO NOT try to use a small flathead! Summary: 5 Stars
Many folks on YouTube and elsewhere try to convince you that a very small flathead screwdriver can replace the need for this tool. It is just not the case! Considering the low price of this tool - and the chance to get it with Free Super Saver Shipping - this item RIGHT HERE is the thing you want to invest in.
And what an investment it was! Our Wii has been victim to both the 'buzzing noise' issue and a sudden complete halt of drive operation. We knew we had to open the thing. The buzzing issue started about six months ago, and eventually got louder and louder. We started looking at the various triwing tools you could buy, but just never got around to buying the thing. Seemed too complicated! Then the second problem surfaced - the drive stopped spinning entirely. Games went from loading every 4th or 5th try to never loading at all.
So, rather than investing in a new Wii with money we just don't have right now (despite the great new lower price and black color) it was time to get a tri-wing screwdriver and open it up and see what is wrong. It couldn't possibly be broken any more than it already was, right?
I couldn't be happier about this product. My 10-year-old and I were able to disassemble the Wii by following the YouTube instructions given by by Supermodchips, and in about one hour had the Wii disassembled, tested, reassembled, and the boys are off playing it again as I write this very review!
First things first regarding the product review - the triwing screws are SO DANG TINY you will be thankful that you bought a real tool. This one is the exact quality you would expect out of a premium tool, was shipped quickly, and has a rubbery plastic black handle that makes it easy to grip and turn the device.
Second - my son and I were able to blow out the dust from all the components once the Wii was disassembled, found two small loose plastic doomahickeys roaming around inside (we still have no clue what they are or where they should go). When testing the drive out after removing those plastic doomahickeys, we followed the YouTube instructions given by WhoTNT on fixing the buzzing noise, and voila!
I am SO glad we bought this tool before we tried something else, and ended up having to buy this tool anyway after much frustration. I know there are 'cheaper' ones on other sites, but you do get what you pay for. If you do the Free Super Saver Shipping option with Amazon you will find out that this investment was well worth giving up one McFrappé.
