Sitting at 3.7 v currently. I charged it for a bit last night but I'll put it back on the charger now for a bit Edit: now up to 4.1v with the same issue. Further edit: this seems to be an issue with the display not the Wii. I reconnected component video to the TV and the Wii still boots...

Ok guys I'm back with another question. Seems like it's always one step towards and two steps back. I resolved the previous controller issue by completely replacing the Wii. I had another one lying around and had swapped everything on the PCB so it had to be the Wii or the GC+. Well that did the...

Ok, I shortened the data wire. I was testing today and noticed on the GC+ the data line voltage holds at 3.3v and I see no fluctuation when pressing inputs on the controls. Should I not be seeing a voltage fluctuation to the data line when inputs are being pressed?

Ok, I am seeing continuity between the GC+ and the Wii. I will try to snap a picture later today when I have someone here to take the picture while use the multimeter. I'll start cleaning up some of that exposed wire in places. I don't think the controller is grounding out but better be safe...

I'm using 30 AWG to power the board, so that should be fine I think. Is there a specific place on the GC+ board to test continuity or should I just test each terminal to see if there is a glaring issue with any of them.

I have 3.3v wired to the PCB and I checked using a multimeter and I definitely have 3.3v running to the board

Ok, makes sense. Does 3.3v need to be run to this terminal in a similar manner to running 3.3v for VGA switching meaning this 3.3v will come off of the Wii board?

Hello all, I know I've asked about a million questions at this point but I do appreciate all the help it's helped me out a ton. Finally have picture and have the screen mounted. Just having controller issues now. Not sure what's going on here everything is hooked up but I'm just not seeing any...

Ok, I'll do some more sanding and I picked up some isopropyl alcohol today. Could that capacitor be the issue with the resistance. Issue. The capacitor is in tact but I can't tell if the vias is fine or not. Update: It actually worked. After more sanding than I ever want to do again it...

I had brought this up in my other thread however that thread was supposed to be a screen question and is veering away from being a screen question and into something else entirely. I thought it would be appropriate to make a new thread to address this new issue. When testing the Wii I found I...

Such a great paintjob. Love the Mario galaxy themed case. Glad your other Wii worked out

That's great news. I would love it if this Wii still had some life left. I took out the sand paper and I'll hit it again and see if I can clean up the edges. I can't see any solder blobs but thought I'd put pictures here in case someone sees a problematic spot I'm missing Update: I did a lot of...

Thanks for all the advice here. I followed this line of logic and went back to testing everything. Couldn't get composite so I pulled the board to re test resistance. Everything was perfect except the 3.3v terminal had 0 resistance. Either I tested wrong the first time or something has happened...

Thanks for the response. I wired everything up according to what I have above and I'm still not seeing video. The Wii seems to be coming on as I can feel the CPU heating up. I just am not sure what's hooked up wrong. I included pics of everything and can include more if needed. I had gotten...

Thanks for the response. That is incredibly helpful. I managed to get the screen to switch to VGA using the method you described above. Still working on wiring up the wii, so from my understanding above the R-,G-, and B- are all optional? If so what would be the purpose of them and use a braided...

Update, I followed the Wii trimming guide and wired up r g b but no results so far. Several of the points of contact appeared to be on the back of the resistors so I soldered those there. The screen is still coming on in HDMI mode. Do I need to do something to change the screen source or should...

Hey everyone, is there a diagram or a reference floating around for wiring up the Wii to the 480 screen. It seems to be quite a bit different than the screen in the bit built manual. I have power and ground to the screen just confused about wiring to the wii

I think I read somewhere that double posting isn't allowed so I'm just updating my last post to give an update. I've made a lot of progress but hit a few snags too. I know the case looks rough but I'm currently living in an apartment and don't have a great area to sand and paint. I'll be moving...

Perfect! Thanks so much for the advice. Here's a better pic. Go me the cap looks like it's all there but I could be wrong. I kept the rest of the motherboard just in case so I will relocate another capacitor if necessary. Is there a chart that will show me what the resistance should be if I...

Do you mean this guy here? In the picture it looks like it's chopped off but it seems like it's still all there. I can get a better picture in a bit. If it's destroyed is there a way to fix that?
