I bought a Wii from ebay but didn't read the description properly and it arrived tampered with. I reread the description and he did say that he attempted to install a modchip but failed, and now the ribbon cable connecting the drive board to the logic board is broken.
So i'm asking upon you here who have had issues with their wee to see if Nintendo will actually make a replacement one for me and i send this one back.
I'm going to e-mail them about this describing what it came here like and see if i get a reply.

No way man, dont tell them. Simply say the power light turns orange immediately after the wii turns on. Tell them it is from ebay but dont say anything else.
Just the word Modchip makes repair service/replacement null and void. However if you act coy then you can get away with it and pay for the repair service.
EDIT: Also there is the ModChipMan repair service but according to the reviews some people never get their systems back...1/10 or so.

Well you will have to go through a customer service rep and I doubt they will know you from your email. A credit card is usually required if they send you a replacement but its only charged if you don't send your old one back.
Don't know how the repair service works because they always just sent me a new one but like I said before, just be coy and say you got it off of ebay broken. (Also write it in the little note they have you fill out describing the problem)

ROFL! Just a normal case of self-owned.
There's a shop on Slater Street called "The Chip Shop 2000", There a local import shop for games and consoles.. They also repair, I'm not sure if they repair Wiis.. But you could ring them.
Also, They charge £10 when you drop your console off (Thats mainly for the parts to fix it) then when you go to pick it up you pay a extra £15 to pay off the rest of the parts and for them fixing it, If it's more difficult to repair, They charge extra.. so yeah.
There number: 0151 708 0022
Also, good luck!
Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.
