Does anybody recommend I should relocate the components on the board before trimming or after?
I'd do it after. You can't boot the board after performing a relocation on an untrimmed board, so it's better to make sure you don't have shorts before taking the time to relocate things.Does anybody recommend I should relocate the components on the board before trimming or after?
Thanks for the help @GingerOfOz , Also I'm not pretty sure if I messed up, came pretty close to the nand lines this time! But what would happen if I sanded it down with 800 grit sand paper?Ok. Just don't bother with 800 before getting lower grits.
That's a pic of the top, need a pic of the bottomHere it is
Oh wait, here it isThat's a pic of the top, need a pic of the bottom
flip the motherboard upside down and take a pictureOh wait, here it is
Do whatever sanding you can, then check to make sure your voltage lines aren't shorted to ground. If they look okay, you can try booting it up. It seems that your trimming is mainly having troubles due to lack of planning. You need to cut outside of the red line and then sand down to it like it says in the guide. If you try to cut on the line, you'll be too close in some areas and not be able to sand.Shit, not again, how do I check if it is or not? Is there any way I could buy a trimmed Wii motherboard without the regulators and the relocations? I know ShockSlayer closed the service...

I don't have a clear picture of the NAND, so idk. I also have no idea of your ability. Pretty much any board is recoverable if you have the know-how and ability, but if you're struggling with cutting the board to the right size, it may be easier to get a new one.Do you think I should be able to sand?
Yea that was a big mistake, since the components where in the way, I had to trim on the back, and I think the trace was kind of wrongWhy don't you cut where the guide tells you to? You've cut inside of the given parameters which are there for a reason. If you're using a ZN case then there's no reason to even cut inside of the area the guide shows.
