Tried to go onto photobucket directly to see these images... not sure how you even managed to upload them, that site has really gone downhill.

What’s special about the charger listed in the BOM? I’ve got one coming in already, as I’ve learned to trust the BOM, but what reason wouldn’t you want to use another power supply that outputs 1A 12V or 2A 18V? (Just using random numbers I’ve seen around) Is it just that the smart charger will...

When I was taking the USB off it was being a pain for a while too. I used a solder pump as well as braid, the pump worked great usually. I would put some fresh solder back onto the joint to mix with the old stuff, making it easier to get out. There were a few pins that were really stuck, for...

This work log has been an emotional roller coaster to read through! Can’t wait to see more updates.

Your work is beautiful! Can't wait to see more!

Yes you are right, thanks! Going to read more in battery university and think a little harder before posting random questions.

Am I correct in thinking I could get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XQRQR3Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1UABzbQDFDFQK Then as long as I’m feeding 5V into it vía a micro usb cable it should be able to charge and protect y batteries? I am getting the 4 Panasonic’s mentioned in the BOM...

Maybe we could start another interest thread for these again? I'd be interested in one as well, if we had enough people to do them.

Is there any reason this shouldn’t be working? I’ve checked for continuity through all the usb points to the board, i checked to the vías nearest the GPU for the data lines, and power has continuity as well. The Wii still turns in and goes into potabilizemii, however it doesn’t appear to...

Looking forward to seeing how this goes. I like that you list all your resources as well, it helps show what you’ve looked at and helps other noobs find some place to look for additional info!

Thanks for he advice. About how much of the trace do I need to uncover? I was using a razor blade earlier, and it seemed to be working okay, but maybe I’ll go grab an exacto knife tomorrow and see if I can get a little more precise. If I end up giving up on BT for this unit I can still use the...

What are the general tips for connecting the two Bluetooth lines to the traces by the gpu? I’ve been trying for a little bit, but it’s just not working for me. I started A little bit away from the GPU so I could test and move in closer if I burnt or messed up. Sadly I have messed up a bit and am...

I just got this one you recommended and it’s pretty solid.

Is it possible to solder a flash drive or something directly onto the Wii motherboard, then have an external port or some other way to transfer data onto the now internal drive? Something other than having the usb connectors solely external?

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I'll just go for that one then, It looks promising enough.

When looking for a display, what should I look for to determine if it might have a component vs composite connection? Also, is component really going to make that big of a difference in these small 5-7in screen? As most of them seem to be just composite video.

Is there any planned release date for these? I just found out this place existed a week ago so I missed the initial shipment. :( I’m starting on my first wii portable and would like to use these rather than the other custom regs. Would it be better to wait for these to come around or just jump...

That’s great information! I would love to read through a nice battery thread with some more information like this. As a noob to this whole thing it’s easy to take something someone said (like the info in the BOM) as gospel. It’s much better to get some solid evidence on why a certain part is...

What other parts can we remove and resolved before trimming the Wii to test? Can we rewire the Bluetooth, usb, power, video, etc? Anything else that’s smart to do before actually trimming?

I can tell the smaller one has a little more polish and actual usability that the big one, but I just love the larger screen on it. haha I also thing using that case on them was way smart, looks fantastic on both.
