Hi, what is the purpose of the foam block in the last step? I've recently done a case mod, by my foam is not oriented correctly. Someone said this can cause issues. But I would like to know what exactly is its purpose.

### The small foam piece inside the Wii where the power cable plugs into serves as a cushion and helps to secure the connection.

* It helps to prevent any unwanted movement or vibrations that could potentially disrupt the power supply to the Wii console.

* The foam piece may act as a barrier to reduce the risk of any electrical interference or short circuits that could occur when plugging or unplugging the power cable.

* It's a simple but useful design element to ensure a stable and reliable power connection for the Wii console.
