2.47v according to my multimeter. This is the 10k resistor between the button and the transistor
Sorry, I meant the 100k one. Anyway you should test the voltage on the button too.

So the circuit works when I disconnect it from the screen button and just touch the wire to ground. I guess I could use the audio amp volume button as the sync button. I dont think activating the sync randomly should mess anything up right?

Hmm I don't thin that it could cause any problems, but I don't know how pressing repeatedly the sync button will affect power consumption

Ok wired it up and the bluetooth is not activating sync. I can confirm bluetooth is functional. It goes from 0v to 3.3v as desired. Looked at a stock board and there is a 10k pullup on the bluetooth that I didnt relocate to the bluetooth module but we did add the pullup on the transistor so idk.

Are you sure it is a pullup?

It is attached to the sync pin and goes to ground.
Ok, so it is a pulldown :D
Anyway it should work without this pulldown since you already have it from the collector to ground

Wow Gman, why's your work so clean? On a serious note though your work is great!
I can't imagine how this thing is gonna be when finished.

Did you use one of the volume switches?
Yeah, the circuit is functioning but it isnt activating the sync correctly for some reason.

Also you like those audio filters I stole from another Wii @Shank?

I didn't and still don't notice. To which audio filters are you referring?
Also, this portable is looking amazing so far

I cut off the audio filtering caps from a dead Wii and wired them in. They are located right next to the audio amp from the shielded wires.

Cleaned up the rat's nest :awesome:
Quick question, did you cut the pcbs off the end of the wifi antenna wires?
Ok you got me, I did not know the wifi antennas clipped on, so I cut them while I was figuring out my case. I will be reattaching them eventually

Also cleaned up my wiring a bit.
