Like Stitches said, using a different Wiis nand backup wont work (afaik bootmii wont even let you proceed), at the very least you need the keys for your console in order to create a new nand with ohneschwanzenegger. Theoretically it would still be possible to dump your old nand using the same...

Theoretically you could try a hardmod unbrick: https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/Wii:Hardmod_unbrick#tabber-tabpanel-4_Layer_/_Wii_Mini-0 Do note though that you can easily make it a lot worese because its quite tricky wiring for beginners. I would not recommend this route, unless you absolutely...

Its all good bro, havent worked on this in a while anyways tbh so having this is way better than my unfinished compendium.

Huh. Would you be so kind as to link to it in this thread? That at least saves me from having to colour all the layers in. Sucks to have wasted a Hollywood 1 Wii Mini but oh well, at least I now know how to somewhat sand and scan a pcb.

Redid the vcc color, fixed some more issues and did some more work. so this is a in progress release. Link has been updated in the original post.

Looks like it could be a usb issue, try checking for corruption or reformatting your microsd card. Might also be worth it to try a couple of different ones.

I dont think that the removed buttons from the controller board should really hinder the screen from working, the screen should also work without the entire board. Have you hooked up video lines between the wii and the screen? If you did, make sure they are properly connected. Also verify that...

Hello everyone, it has been some time since I had the oppurtunity to work on this in between work and university but I at least have a preliminary version of what I would like to call the "WiiMiniCompendium" ready to share with you. A lot is still missing but thanks to the christmas time I have...

All layers have been sanded and scanned, just have to mark the voltages and traces now. Any suggestions on where and how I should upload it?

Started work on tracking the ave traces, also found out the testpads circled in red are usb connections.

Wiring photos would be nice so we can actually diagnose this properly.

Back and front layer have now been scanned at 1200dpi(which I find to be looking alright, every trace is very recognizable) and I have begun rudimentary alignments and touch ups in gimp.

Rename the ones that start with wifi in the zip archive to their respective string that rvloader expects, so IOS36-64-v3608.wad, IOS58-64-v6176.wad and IOS80-64-v6944, then place them in the root of your sd card and/or usb drive (doesnt hurt to put them on both). RVLoader should then find the...

Left chip is bt module, right one is mx module. MX is only really needed for games that need rtc or unpatched emulators. In order to set up an sd card you just have to copy the rvloader files as described in the rvloader thread or github to the root of your sd card, then connect it to a usb port...

Back copper layer has been sanded, will do the first scan either tomorrow or some time next week. I will also have to get some more sandpaper as my 4 year old reserves of 240 grit didn't appreciate being in service that long.

Good to know! But why would they tin them in the first place? Wouldnt that increase manufacturing costs and complicate testing since you cant really probe the tinned pads with pogo pins etc. anymore?

My uncle said I could borrow his scanner, its a canon lide 400 with 4800*4800dpi so its 4800dpi im assuming. Honestly I cant really tell the difference between that and 600dpi, allthough the only things I have ever scanned on the canon are yugioh cards so I'll take your word for it.

Huh, didnt even really think about that tbh, my scanner only goes up to 600dpi, so I might have to borrow my uncles scanner or see if we have one at work or at uni.

All components have been removed and the front layer is sanded enough to expose all the copper tracks now. Will sand the back layer tomorrow and then do the first scan of the back and front layers.

Hello everyone! Today, I will attempt to start a Wii Mini documentation thread, since a lot of people are using Wii Minis with omega trims, but I noticed that we lack proper board scans! I have both the Hollywood 1 and 2 revisions of the Wii Mini, and by my initial "tests" (e.g. looking at the...
