What the heck does this thing do(Wii related)

[Ikohn4ever]

Saw this on Gonintendo, and was wondering what the hell is it and whats it for

 

[jetsetradio21]

Not 100% sure, but it looks like a battery

 

[evilmax17]

Looks like a CMOS battery. Helps keep the system time and stuff like that.

The Saturn used something similar for data storage, but I doubt the Wii uses it for the same purpose.

 

[Strell]

....

CMOS battery?

That'd be my guess.

 

[Steggy]

isnt that the CMOS battery?

 

[Foolman]

Something in my gut is telling me it is a CMOS battery.

 

[Chrono72090]

Well after strenuous hours of testing and labwork I'm thinking it's a CMOS battery.

 

[Ikohn4ever]

i am guessing these batteries have long life spans

 

[dallow]

I'm glad there's easy access to it to make replacing way in the future possible.

 

[Mr Unoriginal]

A CMOS battery will melt your face.

 

[crystalklear64]

I'm no expert, but I think its a CMOS battery.

 

[banpeikun]

hm could be a CMOS battery

 

[PawnTakesKing]

Looks like some sort of mind-control devi.......no, it's a CMOS battery.

 

[Kendro]

The Force tells me it is a CMOS battery.

 

[keithp]

Perhaps me thinks it might be a CMOS battery....just a guess...

 

[Friend of Sonic]

I think it's a CMOS battery. After reading the replies of everyone else. I had no idea before.

 

[Immortal fWd]

CMOS ftw!

 

[carrottopso]

according to ME, I think its a cmos battery.
But don't trust me, maybe the people above me have better answers?

 

[SpazX]

Trust me, it's not a CMOS battery, it's delicious candy.

 

[dastly75]

It's definitely a CMOS battery. You can see it on your computer's motherboard.

 

[Genocidal]

[quote name='SpazX']it's delicious candy.[/quote]What he said.

 

[swarmster]

...well, it's not candy.

But it is delicious!

 

[Kuros]

It seems to be a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor my dear Watson.

 

[muffinman943]

hmm, that looks like a CMOS battery

 

[Virtua]

Can't possibly
Make myself guess
Of what this
Something you see is.

 

[6669]

Whatever it is, its definitely not a CMOS battery

 

[Shoagie]

if its candy, trick or treat?

 

[FlipSide]

I guess the OP didnt read the Manual(I know I didnt) because its there..Its a CMOS battery, if you take it out you reset the date to the first time you setup your Wii, nothing else.

 

[furyk]

Feh. Posers.

 

[lordwow]

I had a vision from God, and he said it was a CMOS battery.

And I don't even believe in God! Or CMOS batteries!

 

[GizmoGC]

Are you serious? You really don't know what it is?

 

[maddfrog]

It's a CMOS battery, but you don't have to take my word for it....

 

[dallow]

[quote name='maddfrog']It's a CMOS battery, but you don't have to take my word for it....[/quote]

The Reading Rainbow "riff" just popped in my head. Anyone else?

 

[suko_32]

It's Metal Gear!!!!!!

 

[dratsacras]

That slot is where you put the quarters for microtransactions. That little metal disc is just a placeholder, like the jumper pak on a Nintendo 64.

Well, I guess you could put a CMOS battery in there too.

 

[David85]

So is it candy or a CMOS battery? I can't tell.

 

[suko_32]

It's a CMOS candy.

 

[whoknows]

Must be the secret Virtual Reality peripheral people were thinking it had before launch.

 

[daroga]

It's the device you use to see hidden moss on trees.

get it? GET IT?!

 

[njchris]

It's the battery that spins the DVD Drive in the Wii. It also powers the MIis.

 

[Kendal]

You all suck. It is the Wii vajoynah. That is where you insert the female fun for when it has it's monthly visitor. Duh. Anne Frank could see that.

 

[dmpolska]

After sending an email to my penpal in Madagascar, he replied back with:

Ka Co La La Ti Motata Mos Kitta

or in English:

"Looks like a CMOS battery to me"

I think you mean Hellen Keller. Anne Frank is the girl who got murdered by the Nazis.

 

[smalien1]

it's a little battery to keep the internal clock running
CMOS or something like that.

also probably if you put quarters in there you can buy VC games.

Yup, just tried the quarter thing. Picked up Tennis and Baseball.

as of right now neither of them can see shit.

and that 'thing'... isn't that like a CMOS battery or something?

go #48.

Technically, she wasn't murdered.

Corrections with false information = golden.

 

[Scobie]

Welp, I spent most of today in the library doing some research and then went down to the lab to see if the guys there could confirm my suspicions. With 98% certainty, our collective research and their expert opinion says it's a CMOS battery.

Having said that, there's a 2% chance it's a thin mint.

(Edited to add pic comparison... a few sips of scotch and I might up that 2% assessment... the Wii might actually be running off of thin mints.)

 

[Onifrio]

Its a tracking device nintendo put in your wii. I would definitely destroy it.

You stole that from clerks 2. -100000 Points for lack of originality
