Good morning everyone,
I asked these questions in the Discord server, but I also wanted to ask them here in case anyone in the future has these issues!
Assistance with these issues is greatly appreciated!
I've just about finished my third Ashida and I've run into a few issues that I have not had previously.
1) When RVLoader boots up, I get a horrible static noise that seems to go on forever. I've rewired the UAMP to controller cables, the four audio controller wires, the SDW and SCW wires, but it still persists.
On that same note, when I rotate the volume wheel, the volume HUD does not show up.
2) I wired up the MX chip to the Wii trim as per the definitive trimming guide, but it does not show up in the status menu.
3) Does anyone have an optimal method to wire and pcb placement to prevent from pressure being put on the screen creating a halo effect?
Thanks in advance!

Can you provide photos of all the relevant wiring and how you've mounted your LCD?

Yeah, I can totally do that! As an update:
1) I have isolated the static issue and found out how to prevent it. However, when I tested the device with a game, I got ZERO audio. I was able to adjust the volume via the volume wheel, but I got no sound. This tells me that the SDW and SCW wiring is correct along with the RVL-AMP getting the correct power as the status shows RVL-AMP detected. I completely rewired from the RVL-AMP to the right controller PCB and double-checked the ground wiring.
2) The volume HUD shows up when playing a game.
As of right now, the only active issues are zero volume and MX chip not detected.
I'll take as good of detailed pics later tonight and post it here.
