power

Hello, i was wondering if you could power the entire wii motherboard dierctly (without trimming) to see if it works. do i solder wires to the place were the input is or where you solder the batteriest after trimming. Please help!

How many amps can I pull from the 5V line on the stock regulators? Board is untrimmed and I need to connect a 10inch screen and an 6w max amplifier. I don't know how I missed of before but the maximum output current is only 1A, which won't be enough for what I need. I'll look into other...

I am using this "one port play and charge with CMB" board as instructed by this BitBuilt Guide. It works fine in my N64 portable prototype 1 (not stress tested though). As I move into a prototype 2, my concern is that the BCM module referenced above is rated at 3A max. Since the N64 is rated at...

Hey all! I'm very new to modding and only have some basic electronics experience. I am working on gathering parts for my Wii portable build. I did have a PSOne screen that I was going to use for this project, but it doesn't work. I recently picked up a portable DVD player at the thrift store...

Hello everyone, I've been working on making a portable Raspberry Pi for a while now, and it's so close to being done. Here's a link to my worklog that has more details: hackaday.io. Everything is working except my power setup. Basically I am trying to power this 5" display and the Raspberry Pi...

GC+ and dual tact mod - bitbuilt store Mini PAM8803 audio amp board - here I want to be able to somehow use a poteniometer on the amp board (Any guides on this?), this is what I want to use - GBA 5-pin potentiometer WiiU gamepad speakers - here 4-pin headphone jacks - here. Should I use 3-pin...

I am just curious if anyone on here has knowledge in this area. I am back to work on my SNES portable. The two questions I have are: 1. Can I just use the 7805 step down regulator if I put a proper heat sink on it or will it get too hot? 2. I am not planning on including any kind of fan, and...

I know I've asked quite a bit of questions however, I was wondering about how much power a portable Wii would consume with a 5 inch (diagonally) screen with everything else usually in a portable like a Wii and fan etc.

I've been trying my best to understand everything on the trimming guide before going too hands on, I successfully relocated the U10 chip. Now the only question I have is if the 5v, 3.3v, and 12v locations are outputs or need to be supplied with the voltage to the pins 4, 10, and 13?

Hi, before trimming my console, I wanted to make sure my custom regulators are working fine. These are my readings from the four regulators (PTH08080WAH): size of resistor used - output voltage reading from multimeter 82k - 0,995 V 33k -...

I'm at the point of installing a master power switch for the portable. I was wondering what is recommend for a switch and whether it's ok to bypass/short the N64's power switch. I've attached an abstract of my current power routing plan. I am currently using a SPST toggle switch and just leave...

I’m building an N64 portable and have been researching/collecting parts for the build based on the BOM and various threads posted here. For video, I’ve settled on the 5” ZJ050NA-08C using the KYV-N2 V6 driver board. Before I order the display I wanted to confirm it will work with my power plan...

I've decided to make a laptop portable Wii without a trim but have a couple of question. First question is which battery supply should I use. I've seen a AA x 8 battery holder on Amazon. SMAKN 8pcs battery AA 12v clip holder. - Amazon choice. Would this power a Wii? If so for how long...

I took a look at the Custom Regulator Page and noticed that it says the wii draws about 31W, but by adding up the power draw on the different voltage rails I only get about 5.8W (3.3V*0.66A)+(1.15V*1.8A)+(1V*1.53A)=5.778W Do the rest of of the components, that get removed really draw more than...

Hello Portablizers, I'm looking to get some advice and precautions on an idea that came to me before I jump into this. From my understanding, CRTs can store a very high voltage even after it has been turned off, and discharging said voltage can be dangerous and a bit nerve racking. However, my...

So in the attempt to portabilitize a Wii I had purchased at an auction, I ended up in a situation where my Wii refuses to show an indicator light when power is applied to it. I tried replacing the big grey power brick, but that didn’t do it, and I think it is a problem with the motherboard...

Hello, I have an internal 4 cell 18650 battery pack in my portable, I was wondering the best way to unify them so that they are all charged and regulated from one charge input, and then have a cumulative battery output voltage. I was looking at this board here but I am unsure which points to...

I trimmed my wii(6layer) but now it won't power on plz help.could this likely be caused by not sanding with the right grit? Or did I just cut something important? Unless I have to if rather not do the omgwtf trim. This trim will fit fine in my case.

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...

I've been trying to search through the threads for a while now and these are the 2 questions I keep coming back to. What way should I wire up the charger and batteries to do a charge n play setup at 7.4v? Do I have to wire the original wii power button or use a switch directly at the source (...
