How to change your Wii case – Go black with “Dark Knight”
Category: How To, My Ramblings
My new TV set up just didn’t look right with a white Wii and I was reluctant to sell it and buy a black one. The answer was to buy an i-Case “Dark Knight” replacement for roughly £25.
Make sure the all important tool/screwdriver is included when you buy. All you then need is a tutorial, patience beyond what is humanly possible and/or a swear-box. Fifty screws undone and retightended later and your Wii will have a shiny black case like mine. I was impressed with the tutorial overall but did end up finding I had not reinstalled one of the bits.
I’m not sure exactly what this is but if I had to guess, would say it was something to do with the heat sink/ventilation/fan. The Wii is working and has been rigorously tested but I guess time will tell.
If anyone out there does know what the part is and where it goes, then please leave a comment, thanks.
In conclusion, I would warn people to make sure they realise what is required before changing their case but if you have the confidence to give it a go and take your time, then it is a better option than buying a new Wii. I took the risk because I got my Wii for free and didn’t have so much to lose.
