I would suggest reading through the guides in the guide hub, and reading as many worklogs as you can to learn from their mistakes. Once you either reach a starting point or hit a brick wall, I would suggest starting a your own worklog thread. This will help keep threads on topic. Either way, XCK...

I feel like given the low amount of heat that needs to actually be transferred, the heat spreader wouldn't be a bottleneck in terms of heat dissipation. Have you run any tests with thermal probes/cameras to confirm that this actually has an effect on cooling performance? At first glance, this...

Keep in mind those processors aren't running at those thermal levels all the time and are capable of thermal throttling to maintain a safe cooling level. 4 layer wiis use about 6 watts of power. This is the board itself, not counting inefficiencies like regulators and whatnot. You can shave...

Put me down for at least 2

Whoops. Forgot to post the link my bad http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz

I used 3.3v, and ran the IR leds in series and through a resistor. You can run them from any voltage, as long as you have the right current limiting resistor. The stock Wii sensor bar runs on 12v, but if you are using your own LEDs, it doesn't matter the voltage as long as you have a resistor to...

Yeaaaaa i should proooooobably post this here, huh...

From what I understand, that board is just traces aside from an LED and a current limiting resistor for it. You should be able to cut that part off no problem, rewire it if you want an LED, or even desolder the ports from the board and just run wires by hand from the bare ports to the console...

He wrote it on the note. You reveal it after you give the gift.

@Herma knows I like guitars and projects so he got me a hand wound pickup he made, complete with documentation and a formal written apalogy for it's performance. Excited to throw this in a project guitar in the future.

Isopropyl alcohol, the higher the percentage, the better

I still plan to do so, I've just been busy. I got most of the way through recording footage, but friend of a friend who's capture equipment I used is no longer a friend of a friend. I will need to find new capture equipment and re-shoot all the footage in order to have a consistant testing...

Omega trim is really intense. It requires deep knowledge and intimacy with how the board works in order to properly troubleshoot and successfully pull off. It falls into the "if you have to ask, it's not for you" category. Even for the most experienced modders, those relocations are hell. Even...

If you don't have the money for a Vita, you certain dont have the money for a portable. Portables are extremely expensive to build

Uh... have you heard of the PS Vita?

Hold up... is that... injection molded?

This looks amazing! It's like a beautiful giant PSP! Got any more photos? I'd love to see some progress photos and internals.

No problem! Take your meter and measure resistance (ohms) between them and ground. Essentially, set your meter to resistance, take the black lead, poke any "gnd" part of the motherboard, and take the red lead and touch each of the voltage lines. If any of them say an extremely low number, you...
