Back up *everything* you can on a SD card (if you can), before you send it in. I lost all my Miis, savegames (the worst :<) and VC (not important) when mine died a year ago.

Not sure if there is an easy way to save Miis - even if you send them somewhere, then get them back - they no longer register "you" as the owner, so you can't do various things with them.

And you Wii code will change - so any online contacts will be invalidated, and need to be refreshed.

Its really not a fun thing - wish they could just put a new drive in, but they won't do that.

 You can save your Miis onto your wiimote controller actually.  Its a nifty way to bring your mii's to another person's wii without a connection.  It'll still recognize you're the owner as long as the wii you get back is the same one as the one you sent out.
