Wire up USB

Short the reset line to gnd and see if you get anything

This is misleading. The sensor bar is powered by a 12v pwm signal. If you are referring to "powering a sensor bar off USB" only later versions with less LEDs can do that. The sensor bar doesn't send any data, it's just a bunch of LEDs the Wii remote sees. You can use any IR LEDs you want, with...

My body is ready

I've read that 940nm is more effective than 850, but I have yet to test it myself, so don't take that as absolute fact.

For a handheld, just having 2 IR leds is enough, just one on each side. You shouldn't need that many :D

If you are really struggling to get them off, I think you would be better off trying to get a hold of an RVK board from a family edition Wii. The board is essentially the exact same, but it just doesn't have any GameCube ports soldered onto the pads

If you burnt off the pad it's very likely you have your iron too hot. You may want to turn down the heat

You should be fine. Just run the u10 wire like normal, and run 3.3v to the other pin that you normally don't run a wire to.

Please don't bump old threads unless you have something significant to add.

The AV pinout is the same on 4 layer and 6 layer boards. Pin 10 is 3.3v, and pin 8 is mode.

Posting some pictures will help a ton. We cant really diagnose from that.

Quite litterally everything. When working with electronics, your multimeter is just as essential as your eyeballs.

It sounds feasible, but I wouldn't know. It would be hella cool too. I'd love to throw wavebird recievers in my portables without having to gut a real receiver. If you (or someone else) pulled it off that would be extremely cool. The Wii already has bluetooth, which nintendon't can use to...

Specifically the Y video line. Lemme know if you need a new cap.

Interesting. Im not sure, but here's what I'm thinking. The flow of video is gpu->ave->passives->port. If it's a problem with the passives, it would be ones on the Y line, as the colors are in tact. If the GPU is failing you are screwed and you should back up and transfer your stuff to a new Wii...

Hooooooooooooot

If you can't find one, I have a ton from Wii motherboards I have trimmed and can send you one.
