Question Wii power

[Nostars240]

Hi, what the options for custom regulators for Wii? PTH8080 pretty expensive and hard to find. I wanted to use Mini 360 boards, but min input voltage on them is 4.75v, which is not suitable for my 2p setup and BitBuild store long gone. Can some one help?

Ideally you want to use either RVL-PMS-Lite or RVL-PSU, as these are much more efficient designs than hand wired PTH regs or other solutions. RVL-PMS-Lite can be purchased from 4Layer Technologies (comprised of Gman, Shank, and Aurelio). RVL-PSU is open source design, and the parts for that can be purchased and assembled if you'd like, or you can contact @CrazyGadget to purchase an updated one that he'll be selling once he finishes it (should be very, very soon).

As for the intended use case of these boards, RVL-PMS-Lite contains everything needed for power management in a Wii portable, including safe battery charging and monitoring, charge and play functionality, temperature monitoring, and with their PMS-PD board, USB-C PD charging. RVL-PSU only has power regulators, none of the other fancy features that the PMS has, and is most similar to PTH regulators in that regard, just way more efficient. CrazyGadget's updated design will also feature a 1v8 regulator, so it can be used to power trims that don't have the 1v8 LDO, such as a Lmaov2 or Omega trim. The original RVL-PSU doesn't have this, so the 1v8 LDO is still required to boot.

Hopefully this helps you and others looking for custom regulator options.

Ok, I will look through this options, thank you.

Did you have the Cpu and Gpu covered in tape to prevent metaldust getting under them? If not that might be your problem.
Also please create your own thread instead of using someones else.

If you have canned air or WD40 try spraying it under the chips, BUT I am not sure if it will help as I am not as experienced as others.

¿Tuviste la CPU y la Gpu cubiertas con cinta para evitar que el polvo metálico se metiera debajo de ellas? Si no, ese puede ser tu problema.
Además, cree su propio hilo en lugar de utilizar el de otra persona.
