Thanks to your input I shall be trying my luck with a D2pro9 v.2 chip.
My bro's machine seems to be working fine now. I didn't do real hardcore tests on it yet since I was pressed for time last night, but I think I'll be playing some SSMB soon just to test and make sure the optic drive is still functioning properly. It was making strange noises last night when loading game data, but we were playing a game I've never played before.
I've seen external USB fans for the Wii, but I haven't been able to find any of them locally. I'd have to order one and if I were to go through all that trouble I figured I would probably be better off just getting a nice fast 40mm case fan and modding it to fit the internal fan's space. Shipping times to Alaska can vary greatly and I'm a rather impatient person when it comes to purchases.
Now that the internal fan seems to be running again I may feel inclined to do that same as your friend and double-up by adding an external one if it continues to show any signs of overheating.
