Help with wiikey

sorry if this has been posted before, im having trouble getting my wiikey to run. no backups are detected and configs and updates arent either. i have tried just about every burn method ive come across. i think the problem might be with the solder, i will post pics tomorrow. i have tested the connections with a multimeter and have gotten results from all 6 points. i do not have the d2c chipset. does the fact that i have some of the wires sticking out on the top of the wiikey matter? they are secure but some wire is sticking out of the top of the solder. i have a NTSC wii, and the wiikey is not a clone, and as far as i know it should be a working wiikey. any help would be great!
