Dec 21, 2015  The serial number is found on the bottom of the Wii U box and on the bottom of the Wii U system. On the box, it has it's own designated barcode with 'PRODUCT SERIAL NUMBER' printed below it. The serial number is two letters followed by nine numbers. Please only post the two letters and first FIVE numbers of the serial number with four X's following. Jul 13, 2007  All of today's models are using the D2B chipset. There are a handful of modchips that will bypass this chipset, but not all of them. There are rumors that certain serial number series will be unmoddable as well. If you search for Wii serial number modchip, you will see what everyone is talking about.

WARNING: This guide is somewhat outdated due to the introduction of the D2C2 and D2E drive chipsets. If you bought your Wii in late April 2008 or later, it is recommended that you ask in the forums.

General

The Wii has had different drive chipsets since its launch. The best way to know which version your console has is to open it and look at the text written on the chipset itself.

Another way to know is using the serial number of the console. It's not 100% accurate and not yet complete, but gives a quick way to check your console's chipset.

Glossary:

• GC2 - DMS or GC2R - D2A: Chip compatible with 1st generation modchips
• GC2R - D2B: Chip compatible with 2nd generation modchip
• GC2 - D2B: Chip compatible with 2nd generation modchip and with 1st generation modchips (if modification on 3 chip's legs missing)
• GC2 - D2C: Chip compatible with 2nd generation modchip
• GC2 - D1A: Chip compatible with 2nd generation modchip

Europe

You can insert into table cells your Wii serial number. At least 6 digits are appreciated!

Notes

For European models it seems the D2B chip was introduced somewhere between LEH 1088XXXX and LEH 1097XXXX.

If your serial is below LEH 1088XXXX there is a 98% chance you don't have the D2B chip.

I your serial is between LEH 1088XXXX and LEH 1097XXXX the chance you have the D2B chip is about 50%.

If your serial is above LEH 1097XXXX there is a 98% chance you have the D2B chip.

Notes

For North-America it appears that there are three different ranges in use (LU1/LU3/LU5). Its possible that each range is used in a different area, factory or language pack.

Each range will have a number where the D2B chip is introduced.

For LU1 this seems to be around LU 104XXXXXX and LU 105XXXXXX.

For LU3 it is between LU30667XXXX and LU3070XXXXX and

for LU5 it is somewhere between LU 5077XXXXX and LU50853XXXX.

For the new Wii with the legs cut, it's somewhere between LU 51525XXXX and LU 51640XXXX

Resources

The Nintendo Wii game console was introduced in 2006 and quickly became a popular choice for video gamers. The Wii features motion-sensing technology that allows players to use lifelike movements during gameplay. While several different versions of the Wii console have been released in the years between 2006 and 2011, the consoles all have identical functions and gameplay. The primary differences are the size of the DVD drive and the circuit board, but these differences are not easily discerned by the naked eye. The serial numbers are the primary way to identify the version of Wii.

Version 1 Wii

Version 1 Wii consoles will display a 9-digit serial number that ranges from 10000000 and 10160000. The serial number on version 1 Wii consoles is displayed on the rear of the console and appears on a sticker to the right of the model number.

Version 2 Wii

Version 2 Wii consoles had a slightly smaller circuit board and DVD drive. The serial numbers on version 2 Wii consoles are 9-digit numbers ranging from 10160000 to 10875000 on a sticker on the rear of the console to the right of the model number.

Version 3 Wii

Version 3 Wii consoles had a slightly smaller circuit board and a reformatted DVD drive. They display a 9-digit serial number that starts with 10875000 or higher on a sticker on the rear of the console to the right of the model number.

Versions By Country of Origin

The Wii models will play different games depending upon their country of origin. For example, Wii consoles released for the U.S./Canada market will not play Wii games released for the Japanese market. Wii consoles released for the U.S. and Canada market can normally be identified by the prefix on the serial number, 'LU.' Wii consoles for the UK, German and Irish markets can normally be identified by the serial number prefix 'LEH.' Japanese Wii consoles can normally be identified by the serial number prefix 'LFJ.' Wii consoles made for the Netherlands have serial numbers beginning with both 'LEH' and 'LEH.'

Colors, Included Games, Media

The Wii console comes in three colors as of February 2011. The white Wii, which was the original color, is still the most commonly seen console color. A black Wii console was introduced in summer of 2009. During the 2010 holiday season, Nintendo released a red Wii console. The earlier Wii consoles were packaged with Wii Remote and Nunchuck controllers and the 'Wii Sports' game. From May to November of 2010, the Wii MotionPlus controller extension, a snap-on component which enhanced real-time controller movement, was included with all Wii consoles, and the 'Wii Sports Resort,' a sequel to 'Wii Sports,' was packaged with all new Wii consoles. Beginning in November 2010, Nintendo packaged its new controller, the Wii Remote Plus, with all Wii consoles, while it continued to include 'Wii Sports Resort' in the console package. The Wii Remote Plus is a Wii Remote that integrates the MotionPlus technology without the need for the extra snap-on device.
