Good to know. Thanks for the suggestions on soldering irons by the way. I looked at some reviews, but for me the pinecil makes most sense. Mostly because i can get it relatively cheap where i live, and the performance is compareable.

Yeah, so I'll probably just order the pinecil then. Also nice to have my own soldering iron anyway. Is the standard tip that comes with the pinecil good enough or do i need something finer? Here is a picture of my uncle's soldering iron if you still wanted to know:

Hi again, I want to relocate the U10 chip before trimming my Wii, but I can't even get the stupid thing desoldered. The blob method works effortlessly in all the guides, but my U10 just won't come loose. I tried different temperatures, I tried with and without flux, and I tried with and without...

I am building a wii micro (uses 6 layer board), and about to do a U10 relocation, but i noticed that my gpu looks like the one on a 4 layer wii (see pictures) Everything else however indicates that it is any other 6 layer wii. I was watching ginger's livestream on wii trimming, and he pointed...

Thanks for all the help! I just ordered practice kit with some other materials, but the PSU plus will come back in stock next week so I'll order it then.

Alright you've convinced me. do you have any tips on what type of soldering practice kits I should look for?

Thanks for the response, but I'm not sure if the PSU plus is something for me. I would much rather gain some useful experience with relatively cheap parts, than mess up a high quality 50$ board. It just seems a bit intimidating to me to start soldering with expensive parts, whilst I could just...

Hi guys, here to ask some questions about ordering electronics. (for context, i wanna build a wii micro) So i need to buy resistors, capacitors and PTH08080 regulators. Also some stuff like magnet wire and flux. 1st question: Can I safely order the PTH08080 regulators from aliexpress, or is...

Hi everyone, I got my first 3d printer in the mail this week and it has activated me to make some cool projects. The Wii-Micro is currently on top in the waiting list, and i made this account so I could share my progress and ask questions if i have them. So far I have not done a lot of things...
