Wii Hardware \ Wiikey problem???

I got my wii modded today with ozmodchips - wiikey $110 installed. The guy that did it was a total pro and his setup was totally ghetto. Anyyway i was playing a pal version of excite truck that i legally bought at eb games. All of a sudden, after about 20 minutes of play the wii froze up with an error mesage telling me to "take out the disc and turn off the console". I turned it off and then turned it back on after a few seconds. it went to the channels screen and i clicked on the disc channel. This time the discs just spun around for about ten seconds and then the same error mesage came up. I didnt want to imagine that the chip had screwed it up, so i told myself it was overheating and put the wii in the fridge. i left it in there for 30 seconds and then realised that i was an idiot. I took the wii back into the tv room, plugged it in and turned it on. Everything now works perfectly - what do you think happened???

1) you were an idiot for putting it in the fridge, congratulations on figuring that out for yourself. Not only does cold damage electrical items, moving from extreme heat to extreme cold damages everything (even people), not forgetting that a fridge is a very moist environment
2) $150 is a rip, i heard they do it from almost everyone at this site for $110 installed. Evidence --> mywii.com.au/

probably came back to life because you unplugged it for a while. i'd be on the phone to the installer at least so he knows the problem was around from day 1, and if it dies, he knows you did nothing wrong.

1) I put my broken phone through the washing machine and now it works

2) i meant $110 my mistake

3) Whats the point of notifying the installer, its not his problem, he wont care.

I reckon you put the disc in upside-down.

I read a wiikey thing somewhere(sorry cant remember where) that said to make sure you have run all system updates on your wii before trying to play paper mario.
People where falsely reporting that paper mario was bricking there systems but they just needed to run the update first.

We had a thread about it here. I believe that all new Wii games will include firmware updates, so importers should always keep their firmware up-to-date.
