Hey guys!
I got a little cocky and decided I'd build an Ashida (my first portable) without testing it any ANY STEP along the way. This obviously led to me having an Ashida that did NOT work. I tore it all apart and I am now bench building the portable before throwing everything into a case.
I have got my 3rd Wii trim (killed the first 2) fully functional with AV video, USB booting, GameCube controller input and have ran a couple races in double dash to confirm USB doesn't crash during gameplay.
I've now wired the Ashida IPS screen benchtop style too (powered by external variable power supply) and cannot get the VGA video input to work. I have ordered a second screen driver board on 4layers in case it's the board...
I have performed the following for VGA:
Can someone double check me? I may be missing something staring me right in the face....

I have performed the following for VGA:
- My Wii was not patched for VGA during RVloader install (I kept AV functionality for bench testing)
- In order to achieve VGA I have soldered a 28awg stranded wire from TP47(pin8) to 3.3v on the board, and confirmed TP47(pin8) is receiving ~3.3volts. I also confirmed this prevents the device from outputting in AV video during boot up.
- Pins/Traces 11, 9, 7, H-sync, V-sync wired to their corresponding places on the driver board
- I am referring to the pins/traces by # from the official OMGWTF trim guide
- All video wires are done with 32awg magnet wire. The video wires are tightly wound with their own individual grounds.
- I have taken resistance checks and have no shorts from video to GND, and from video chip on Wii to screen each solder point is <0.5ohms
Can someone double check me? I may be missing something staring me right in the face....
