Tried to relocate U10 but ended up removing the top left and bottom left pad on the U5 footprint and the Wii didn't boot. Is there anywhere else that I could solder the U10 to?

(RVLoader , NoWifiCios etc. is installed and the Wii did boot before this)

The U10 can literally go anywhere on the trim, those pads are used just because they are convenient. All the component does is send a delayed 3.3v signal to the GPU.

As long as the input leg has 3.3v and the bottom legs are grounded the output leg can be wired to the correct via.

Thats good to hear, thought I would have to buy another Wii. Will try getting it to boot when I get back from school tomorrow.
