Now I'm sure this is a very dumb question, but where do I solder to relocate motherboard items?
I should probably explain what I'm talking about. I'm trying to trim down a Wii motherboard that I ripped (Carefully took out) out of a Wii, so I've read "The Definitive Wii Trimming Guide" about ten times. I want to make sure I understand all I need to know before I destroy it with a Dremel. I think I understand how the trim works and the boot requirements. I understand how to relocate the U10 chip because the website shows where to resolder the chip and where, but I don't understand how to rewire things like Bluetooth module or video and audio output. The website shows what each contact for video and audio is on the board and what each one does, but that part gets cut off after trimming the motherboard. I don't understand how I would rewire it to the smaller board. Where would I do it from? Would it be on the underside of the GPU kinda like that one wire from the U10 relocation (At least I'm pretty sure that's the bottom of the GPU)? Or does it require something completely different? I'm not sure, but whatever happens, I'm sure I'll enjoy it a ton (Even if it's failing horribly).
