Hey all! First thing I want to do is thank everyone for all their designs, guides, tear downs, and willingness to answer questions. Pretty amazing community you have all built. Special thanks to the 4LayerTech peeps Shank, Aurelio, and G-man, Wesk for the Ashida design, and GingerOfOz for hours...
Hello everyone, I just trimmed my wii, relocated the u10 chip and wired the custom regulators. Unfortunately I got no signal on my screen. The CPU/GPU are heating and the voltage seems normal. I installed RVLoader on it. Here's my wiring in attached files. Does anyone have an idea of why this is...
I am new to the modding game and I need some help. I trimmed the Wii, transferred the u10, got the voltages where they should be, and video output (just composite) wired up. I can’t get the thing to boot.
I did test it before hand and the Wii would only boot with the Bluetooth plugged in. So I...
Hello! Can anyone give me some more things to try in regards to a few shorts I found?
I have a short to ground on the 1.15V line (Continuity mode; One probe on ground screwpost, another on the 1.15V point mentioned here; and I'm getting a beep). This makes some sense because it is fairly close...
First timer here. I'm working on a Wii-in-GameCube project based on Nold's Miicro and I just trimmed my 6-layer board but even after 2+ hours of sanding my 1V is still shorted to ground. I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot this and figure out how to find and fix the short. All other...
Time to throw my hat in the ring!
We've been making a ton of advancements in PS1 portablizing lately, and I'm hoping to make some further advancements to push the console further than it has before.
Preliminary features are as follows:
PU-18 revision trim
Either a Yveltal/tzmwx style board...
So I followed the Nold's Wii trim resistances "guide" and verified that all my resistances were the same or very close, and they were.
Though after soldering everything up to test the motherboard booting the fan connected to my PMS Lite would spin for a few seconds and everything shut off. Now...
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!
Was trimming my first wii and my dremel danced a little too much and I scratched part of the board on the inside of my guidelines. Was wondering if my wii is dead or if I still have a chance of it working??
Hey all, I'm trying to figure out why my bluetooth relocation suddenly decided not to work, without the module connected, the trace which should be connected to pin 10 reads short to ground. I've tried to cut the trace before it arrives at the edge of the board but that didn't fix it. Visibly...
I trimmed my wii and sanded the hell out of it but it still has shorts I had tape over everthing while trimming. Im reading these ressitances:
1v to Ground: 0.7Ohm
1.15 to Ground: 75.8Ohm
1.8 to Ground: 37.1Ohm
3.3 to Ground: 1.5Ohm
There are no visible shorts between the layers and I sanded up...
Hey all Basic here,
BB PMS
I just completed repairing one out of 2 fried pms 2's which were provided to me by PiR8_BTY#9418 over at the 4 layer tech discord server
With this pms repaired I thought that I should help out a modder in need of a pms for their next project build hence why I am...
While performing the OM6 trim for this 6 layer RVL-CPU-30 unit I accidently shot out with my dremel and it removed some solder mask and what looks like a few traces at this part of the board. All traces on the back including the RAM (?) chip are still completely intact. Will the board still...
Hello everybody,
My name is Romain and i'm from France, I found a lot of information about the portable Wii on this forum and some Tuto. Then I decide to create one for myself, because I'm a big fan of Nintendo.
I make a lot of research and I finally decide to buy everything.
First of all I...
Hi everyone, I’m testing the trim of my Wii and it won’t boot, I double checked almost everything.
The CPU and the GPU heat up when I turn the system on, also the fan starts spinning, so I guess my USB-C and my PMS are fine, I also see the files in the USB drive when I plug it in my laptop.
I...
Hi all,
Checked out an old board I had and wanted to see if I could get it up and running! Sadly it is not working! :C
The chips heat up and a signal is detected by the screen (the screen goes a dark grey rather than staying blue).
I have tried:
Wiring video to a different av. (distorted...
first thanks to all who contribute and gave the bases to be able to make this type of project; I decided to do this worklog based on all the comments of the BuitBuild mentors, but in my country I am not able to find all the bitstore accessories, or they are very expensive for me, so I...
I'm looking for a wii board that still has Bluetooth (I have senor bar), as well as one memory card (wire, I can provide the spare slotting) and (wiring for) gamecube controllers, as well as the custom regulators pre-made and wired up
If you have such a board, or at least a trimmed down one...
