Heat sink

One problem i found is that the wii gets pretty hot while its on and running but as it doesn't get as hot as the xbox so it doesn't need as many fans and vent holes it still needs vent holes because the gpu gets hot so you can buy a heat sink the right size or bend the original heat sink but be careful not to break it like i did.

The Screen pt. 2

I manage to detach the screen from the case and i manage to "plug" in the laptops original built in speakers.
I accomplished the task with the help of the mother board the speaker outlet is the same.
The sound works.
