I did something like this for the mechanical install of the hdmi port. I just used solder and attached the lugs to the gold ground plane at about the same depth as the other ports. Use the Mini hdmi breakout for that one. That way its pretty much in the same place as the wii dual install and you...

Major progress today! I need to add to my previous statement, "All thats needed for backlight is Power, Ground, DI and CLK to get the backlight" In my discussion with Aurelio, i discovered that the 54mhz clock line is ALSO needed... After that chat with Aurelio I reflowed both sides of the...

Today I ran into some troubleshooting. I woke up and the portable stopped responding to controller and rvloader would hang. I remember this problem as an i2c hangup. I pulled off the sda scl lines from the DD and this made the hangup go away. I decided to touch up the sda scl lines at the vias...

Tonight was a big push. Heres where we started. With a wii that boots all the way into RVLoader menu. Popped in the eyoyo screen. I decided to use pro sharpie to mark the silver as the case is translucent.... Pulled apart a GCC and populated the ashida boards. One important thing of...

It begins... Made some cool wire runs for batteries. Got PMS Lite in there... cooling, clips etc etc...Ill let the pics do the talking. Got the USB lines run, scratched the traces and ran magnet wires for BT relocation too... Lately, I've been prepping USB and BT in the beginning of the...

Working on my second ashida build right now. Painted translucent gray. Case is from PCBWAY... translucent UTR8100. Ordered the same week as my first ashida build. This is the only nude case photo I took. It was many months I waited before coming to this paint job. Tamiya Smoke Gray TS-71...

Hey all... Its been done for a few weeks now but just getting around to the cutting edge floor post. This portable features a BuyDisplay screen and driver board wired with VGA. OEM gamecube buttons, sticks and shoulder mechanism. MX Relocation, BT Relocation. It has the PMS lite as the power...

Next was reassembly... then testing ;P I only had to desolder the wires that passed under the cooling system. Tried to stay as tidy as possible with out straining the connections. Reassembly went pretty smoothly. As you can see, the buydisplay TN is hooked up to VGA. (Saving the Eyoyo and DD...

Well friends, its been a while.. and the portable has been worked on until completion weeks ago. But I thought I'd take the time to update the worklog before posting to cutting edge. I was having alot of trouble with the DD setup and decided to just go with vga for this first ashida build and...

Ahh, interesting… I thought it might be an i2c issue when the paired wiimote wouldn’t control the Wii anymore. I won’t cascade my lines anymore. I will rework that next time I’m at the workbench. It’s interesting that the i2c conflict can stop controllers from working. I’ll shorten up the lines...

Well my friends, its been an interesting and unexpected turn of events... I could either laugh or cry about it. I think I still have the choice -- so ill laugh. I have been having very strange issues with my build. As you know, i've been trying to hone in the video and the good news is the...

Nice job bud. Did you get a copper plate too? since there is only one heat sink in, you'll need to bond the copper plate to the heat sink and eventually use thermal compound so both chips get adequate cooling.
