    I'm already using a PCB to train reballing. Plus I'm using the components from a dead Wii, so I can practice as muck as I want. In these days I'm trying to change my technique in order to get a perfect reballing at the first try, so after that I can start dealing with the working components and...

    I'll try to upload some images tomorrow, but don't expect to see anything in particular:XD:, especially as I'm trying not to spend too much on the project. When I do these kind of stuff I try to use the most common materials I have available.

    Well it would be a different project that would provide a different moddig experience for anyone that wants to give a try. So why not? Obviously it will take some more time before the project is complete and the wii portable works well.
