I've been in the beginning stages of actually putting together a G-Wii for a couple months now. I couldn't get fan spin, and I think I likely messed up my PMS (there was a spark at one point and I think I may have shorted something with an accidental solder drip), and to add to that, I managed to remove/break the BTN pad on it (pictures shown).
Because of that, I thought it was best/necessary to get a new one. I've seen the files for it and I've seen people mention using JLCPCB, so I thought I might try using that. I put in an order with them using just the GERBER files in a zip (without confirming just in case). So the first question is, are the GERBER files all that is needed? However, there are also a lot of options in that order page and since I don't know the first thing about PCB printing and ordering, I'm not sure what to do. Which brings me to the second question, is it fine to keep the defaults? At least some of them autofilled once I uploaded the zip file, but I just wanted to make sure. Here's a screenshot of some of them, to give an idea of what options I'm talking about.
Also, since I'm a beginner to portablizing who couldn't get fan spin without ruining a PMS, feel free to leave any criticisms or advice you have on what I have in the pictures, because I'm sure I could use it.
