Hey, everyone! I just installed the MX Chip onto my trimmed Wii (RVL CPU 01 with a Noldendo trim) and almost everything is going great. RVLoader detects the MX Chip itself so there are no worries there, but for the life of me I can't get it to recognize the RTC battery. I've tried wiring it up in multiple configurations, but to no avail. The Wii will still only move the internal clock forward when it is powered on. Does anyone have some kinda diagnosis or suggestions for troubleshooting this? I have a couple specific questions:
1. Does the RTC battery need to be at 3v or can it be slightly lower
2. What are the minimum trim lines of the MX Chip that allows it to retain full RTC functionality (could I have trimmed mine too small)
3. Are there differences when trimming a 6 layer MX Chip compared to a 4 layer
4. Does wire length from the battery to the MX Chip matter
5. Do the presence/absence of other passives on the board affect RTC functionality (small resistors/capacitors, U9, etc.)
6. Am I forgetting something about the RTC Battery's functionality (should it even be doing what I think it should be doing)
I'd love to get the full feature set reinstalled in my Wii Micro, and this is the last thing on my list. Any response is greatly appreciated. God bless!
