The Wii only shuts off if the Controller is plugged in. I'm ignoring the player one slot for now...What GND is shorted btw? The one on the P1 slot? If so, I'll ignore it. I got data, 3.3v, and GND from elsewhere. But yeah it looks like shit lol. I'll fix it as soon as I get a deslodering iron...

As you may see, I didn't solder power to slot 1, instead I did slot 4. This is why: My guess as to why the Wii shut off is either because of well...that, or the fact that the controller is messed up. I have had this happen before where if I plug in a broken / trimmed controller, the wii will...

Wow. Yeah the Iron I'm using is like Hulk-Finger fat. I'll definitely be putting a new iron on my list. HOLY SHIT. I JUST GOT IT TO WORK (kind of). So just a few minutes ago I tried to connect a controller again, and already feeling like my Wii was screwed over, I connected to the smaller pins...

Oh...I guess that would make sense for Sony to do something like that. Who knows though, maybe one day into the future when I'm like 90 we'll have PS4's in our pockets ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So, in case you haven't heard, Sony tweeted not too long ago that there will be an update with USB's / External HDD's. If this is really a thing, and since we can already get a PS4 OS running on any HDD by just downloading it off there website...

Does anyone know if these cheap $5 - $12 controllers have a chip? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Controller-for-Nintendo-GameCube-or-Wii-BLACK-/251262237054?hash=item3a8065797e:g:OBoAAOxyOM5RbzTR Or is this only on first party controllers? I had two gamestop ones, but they had a glob top...

Yes. I agree. I also already feel silly for not being able to solder to something like this :awesome: Edit: @Marchioly I do actually need a thinner Soldering Iron. If I got one of those it would make things easier, anyone have any reccomendations? I don't want something "too expensive" but also...

I've come to a conclusion actually. I broke the player one slot on my Wii. I agree with @Marchioly on I should solder to something else before I get to anything else. But yea I suck at soldering, and I'm not getting any signal from my player one slot. So in conclusion, think before you leap.

Oh, alright I'll try that. Edit: RIP not getting anything. My best thing to do is sit in a corner.

What exactly do you mean by use a short button pad to ground...? Edit: By getting a tact button I meant to test something like "A"

I tried the pin thing. Not even sure if it worked because I don't have a tact button to test it .-. I'll update when I try one today

You're awesome! I think I got it to work! I don't have my tact buttons yet, but they should be here in the next couple days. Typically when I solder something incorrectly when it comes to controllers leads to my Wii shutting off. It hasn't done that, and I did it the normal side up (I hope...

I managed to hook up the video on the Wii. I'm just retarted and decided to get high on gfuel before soldering.

EDIT: I feel like this "Solved" Question has been going on for quite a while. If anyone wants to post dead stuff here, feel free. Who knows, maybe some smart peoples can share their knowledge and help. :) I've now thrown away $165 due to my amazing soldering skills. + and GND are fucked...

How does one convert to a THP file? I can't seem to find anything on the webs.

Okay. Well I'll take it as it works for now. Does anyone know the average temps of the Wii?

Are you sure? I had the heat sink off before, and if I remember correctly the same thing happened actually. (aside from the shock) Last time it stayed on for a while, and then shut off.

Today I soldered the Power and Composite directly to the LCD, so I don't have to use those big fat wires. But, one of the wires moved, and I saw a shock, and the Wii shut off, and wouldn't turn on...However, I did a little research and found out that unplugging the Wii's power for 2 minutes or...

It's a really good feeling :), thanks!

It's the screen :D I don't plan on using Wifi or Bluetooth, since I'll be using PortablizeMii and a GC controller (GC+).
