I trimmed my wii and sanded the hell out of it but it still has shorts I had tape over everthing while trimming. Im reading these ressitances:
1v to Ground: 0.7Ohm
1.15 to Ground: 75.8Ohm
1.8 to Ground: 37.1Ohm
3.3 to Ground: 1.5Ohm
There are no visible shorts between the layers and I sanded up...
I have this CMB and wan't it to use it for my wii project. The problem im having that the wii uses 16watts with screen etc. and the CMB can only charge with a maximum of 8.4W, so it wouldn't charge while playing. I was thinking to get an other one to put in parallel which would end up using 4...
I live in Germany and i got a wii for 20 bucks on ebay. Might look there. But i wouldn't buy it from Gamestop they cost 50 euros with a controller. That's just overpriced. My recommend that you buy one that has a broken disc drive and/or the case is scratched up.
Actually you can play GC games using a usb adapter for the ports. That works with nintendon't or you can use a wii clasic controller. Im not sure if it provides enough power for a hub tho since it has only one usb port.
It is and it outputs 3.3V so the screen might run on it but the problem is still the backlight
Edit: Found a battery that had 7.8v in it and it worked straight at the jack and still looked good. Need to find smth that outputs 5v for testing
Im pretty sure that the screen doesn't use 12v but when I got it, it was fully labeled which was nice and on the backlight it said 12V. I've run the board at 10.2V while testing with a Wii and a battery the wii shut off but the screen remained on and it wasn't dimmer. Maybe theres a step up chip...
I had the screen from an old portable Tv and only needed a driver board. Will upload high res pics from the chips if you want.

Edit: Added pictures of chips
Edit 2: just noticed that the Ebay pic does not match the one I got.
I need a step up converter for my screen which uses a 12V backlight for my Wii. The screen is 10 inches and the power usage according to the driver board is 12V and more than an amp. I've read that simple ones from amazon or ebay are bad to use and I only need 12v for the screen and the Wii will...
You should install RVLoader even if you won't trim the board.You have easier accesses to starting the games since you wont need the sensorbar. Also you can use vga with it what makes the image way cleaner and sharper.
I was modding my wii into a portable tv so i could use it in a car or a plane (as long i have a 12v battery)
I added the screen which needs the full 12v for the backlight to work. Also had an audio amp connected to 5v near the Gamecube Memory slots.
when i used the original power brick i didn't...
