Sorry for this off topic question but any help would be appreciated as this is the only thing holding me back from wii homebrew at the moment........Thanks.

umm... if you can do it "quite easily" then I'm assuming you are good with electronics and a soldering iron. If that's the case, why don't you place a switch between the PCB and the mod chip so you can cut your mod chip off while performing an update?

Nintendo is NOT Sony. I don't recall any bugs with any of their firmwares so far, and the Wii is the only Nintendo gaming device I ever remember getting Firmware updates, so they've done them right since the beginning!
