  1. Question rip me im tilted

    I'll admit I miss the light on the lexar, but the build quality of the Samsung is much nicer
  2. Question rip me im tilted

    That's what I ended up doing. Went to Fry's and got one but I forgot to price match it to Amazon Note taken, I'm in Cass right now (fixing a flash drive is obviously more important) but I'll try that when I get home! Lol, I started a curse. My condolences to your drive. Honestly maybe it's a...
  3. Question rip me im tilted

    Man it's always something I swear. Well, here's the story. I was wiring up memory card ports to my trim everything went smooth cool cool. I plugged my flash drive (128 gb lexar tiny one) into my pc and started to transfer a cube game onto it. Gets 70% of the way through and then my pc tells me...
  4. Solved Fried My Trim?

    So I was wiring up the 3v lines to the bluetooth module and I accidentally hit the ground pin of my power switch (soldered to the board ground) with the end of one of the wires because I'm dumb and wasn't being careful and paying attention. Saw and heard a spark and now the board wont boot. The...
  5. Question No rumble after trim?

    Okay, I had a feeling that was the case but I figured it'd be better to make sure. I tested multiple controllers as well and none of them are working so I assume it's not their fault.
  6. Question No rumble after trim?

    Should've posted a picture earlier, my bad. I'm talking about these pads. Also, they're both giving out 5 volts.
  7. Question No rumble after trim?

    The controller is definitely getting 5 volts at the pads the rumble is soldered to, but interestingly enough I cant use the ground pad to get the reading, I had to use another source for ground to get a 5v reading on the positive rumble solder pad. Am I oblivious or am I missing something super...
  8. Question No rumble after trim?

    As the title implies, I've got no rumble in my cube controller after a trim on a 4 layer board. The rumble worked before the trim and the controller is getting 5 volts so I'm not really sure what's going on here. The trim works fine as well (obviously). I have a wasp fusion installed on a cube...
  9. Question Trim Not Booting/Weird USB Shenanigans

    Spots removed and cleaned. Haha yeah portablizemii was installed and the av cable is fine. At the board I'm getting 4.99, 3.289, 1.124, and .971 volts respectively; maybe these just aren't close enough to the required voltage? U10 is getting 3.263. Also in the spot you recommended I clean up...
  10. Question Trim Not Booting/Weird USB Shenanigans

    No dice. Wired one up and didn't get anything again. I think I managed to take a step back somehow actually; the flash drive doesn't light up at all since I wired it. Posting a picture of the bottom didn't occur to me, my b
  11. Question Trim Not Booting/Weird USB Shenanigans

    Well, just like the title says my trim isn't booting. The cpu and gpu both heat up slowly. The board worked just fine before the trim, and I have checked all of the regs multiple times. U10 is wired up with the trace cut and is receiving power. Nothing happens for a bit when I turn the power on...
  12. Question Resistors for Regulators

    So I'm curious, what does everyone do for resistor values regarding the pth08080w regulators? They require some pretty oddly specific resistance to get the needed voltage for wiis so I haven't been able to find singular resistors with the correct values. I haven't actually strung them together...
  13. Solved U10 Trace Cut

    Cut the trace, and it works now :) thank you guys!
  14. Solved U10 Trace Cut

    Quick question. For the OM6 trim, does the trace still need to be cut before relocating the U10 transistor? The 6 layer expansion guide mentions that the relocation spot remains available and that only one via needs to be connected but doesn't mention anything about cutting the trace. I didn't...
  15. Solved Easiest way to remove Wii components?

    Awesome, thanks! Ordered one and it'll be here in a few days :)
  16. Solved Easiest way to remove Wii components?

    So I could use a little advice here. What does everyone do for desoldering components? I've noticed that Nintendo's boards are usually pretty tough when it comes to trying to desolder things. I've learned that you can actually just break the GameCube controller ports off clean and not lose any...
  17. Question PortablizeMii update requests

    Drag and drop for Cube and Wii games would be pretty cool. It's a bit cumbersome in the current state and it would be way easier, especially for those who commission someone to build them a portable :)
  18. Question Brickless-Power

    Fair enough, I think I'll settle for a wall wart
  19. Question Brickless-Power

    Since I'm dealing with power here I decided it better to ask first instead of just winging it. I'm hoping to achieve power without a brick, like Gman's Wii Micro. How should I go about this? What would I need? IIRC wii portables run off less than 2 amps, so could I just get a 12v 2 amp power...
  20. Question Audio Jacks and Cooling

    So I got a new amp, which works. I wired everything up, and it kinda works? Its definitely way louder, and no longer makes the speakers in the tv super quiet when you plug a pair of headphones into the jack. The sound comes in loud and clear in one ear, but crackles in the other. And if I turn...
