    Solved Why is the Wii not turning on?

    The white wire is hooked up to the 1.8v OUTPUT. That is the LDO which puts 1.8v out, does not accept 1.8v IN. Wire the trim as follows: 1v to positive, 1.15v to positive, 3.3v to positive and ground. If you still have the LDO on the board you do not need to supply 1.8v.
