I've got a powerbank and a USB-C PD Trigger Board where abouts should i solder the trigger board sorry if this is a dumb question im new to all of this

I think you have to give a bit more information so anyone can help you. Like what parts are you using and what you plan exactly on doing

planning on doing a thing like this https://www.instructables.com/Build-a-Low-cost-Portable-Wii-Laptop/ (difference is im keeping the disc drive and not building a sensor bar into the system)

the parts im using are

I was planning on powering the console through the powerbank with the trigger board plugged in while also being soldered to the console in order for it to play portably but im not sure if thats exactly right so i thought id ask this forum

The trigger board? The front faceplate buttons are soldered to the board, it isn't a separate board like in other consoles such as the Wii U or the PS3. The LEDs for the faceplate are the only thing separate from the board that detaches with the faceplate. Also, I'm not sure if you'll be able to pull 12 V through that power bank (assuming you leave the board whole as was done in the instructable).

I'm sorry let me correct what I was saying before, when I was referring to the trigger board, I meant this module (the image), this piece is being plugged into the powerbank (which will hopefully bump the voltage up to 12) then i think it gets soldered to the motherboard but i wasnt sure of that, sorry for the confusion

Yeah, I see what you meant now. So here's the thing, you would plug that in to the power bank then solder whatever voltage line you wanted to the corresponding resistor on the little board then solder the two output pads to the Wii's input jack.

^Kind of like in this pic except for the 12 V line instead of the 15 V line.

Just from a quick google search though, I don't think your power bank would provide enough power at 12 V: https://www.tvcmall.com/details/xia...one-external-battery-black-sku101721607a.html < look under specifications here.

Using a 20 V 2 A/15 V 2.5 A power bank or bigger would be ideal, you would just have to step it down to 12 V using a buck converter.

If you wanted to stay the USB-C route, https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-N...ix=usb+c+12+v+3+battery+supply,aps,265&sr=8-5

something like this would be a better option.
