Back in the ModRetro days, I was able to check the date codes and discover that Nintendo switched over to using 65nm GPUs (and 4 Layer boards) shortly before releasing the Wii in colors other than white. This also happened before Nintendo released the newer version of the Wii without Gamecube ports. This is how we know for a fact that any non white wii with gamecube controller ports and any wii without gamecube controller ports (including white ones) will have a 4 layer board. This information has been invaluable for portablizers, and is currently the only sure-fire way to track down an efficient board without removing the battery tray. White Wii's with Gamecube controllers are by far the most common variant, but they are also the only wii shell that doesn't guarantee a die shrunk 4 layer board. They CAN have a 4 layer board, but are not guaranteed.

There are so many 4 layer boards hiding in white wiis waiting to be cut up. I want to see if we as a community can find a trend between serial number and revision.
The larger sample size we have, the more accurate of a theory we can come up with. Next time you open up your next wii, write down the revision code and serial number, and post it here.

Ill add it to the spreadsheet, credit you, and maybe one day we can find a trend.This idea was inspired by the. They may have info that could be useful for this project, but I don't know much of anything about the disc drives themselves. Yes, the number visible by removing the battery tray is a confirmed way to identify Wii revisions. Thats a perfectly fine way to document them here.Also note that the RVK boards (family edition, no gc ports) will say K01 or K02 instead of just 01. Another thing to be wary of is not to get 01 and 10 mixed up, because it can be confusing when upside down because of how they are written.Edit:no unfortunately. I only begun documenting recently. All most of my 40+boards had already been opened and shells mixed up by the time I came up with this idea.

I notice that all the white NTSC CPU 40s start with either 1 or 7. LU747464455), while all the black ones start with 2 or 8.The ones that start with 5, 6, or 3 (other than the RVK boards, which I assume are the no-gc-port ones) are all pre-40.So 1 and 7 are good, while 3, 5, and 6 are bad so far (on white wiis). Obviously this can't be confirmed without more wiis documented, but at least it's a trend, and even a hint at what it might be is better than no clue at allThese trends are also consistent with my latest five additions.
Sorry if this is already posted somewhere and I missed it. Oh, last thought. Has anyone else noticed a font difference between the 40s and the others?
Here is a picture of a 01, 30, 40, 40, 60 wii in that order. Notice that the third and fourth wiis (the 40s) have a thinner font for the words 'Serial No' than the rest. I checked this against another 40, two 60s, and a 20, and it held true. If anyone else could confirm, that would be greatThe 01 one has thinner letters than the others, but it's a little thicker than the 40s when you compare side by side, as if it's the same font as the 40s, only bold or something.
