Try wiring composite video to the capacitor on the front

Did you measure with a multimeter all the regulator output voltages?
You're taking it slow, going through all the right steps. You're doing great. As others have said you'll need to trim it a bit smaller to make it fit, you can see with test placement of the batteries. You can confirm you've sanded enough with the resistance test. Measure the resistance from each...
RA1 is a 750 ohm resistor array on each GC data line. It is absolutely necessary. You can add a 750 ohm resistor from GC data to 3.3v on the GC+. RA1 won't just randomly "die" , the only way it could break is if you solder to it and damage it.
You wire 5v to the large aluminum capacitor under R56 and remove the large inductor under this capacitor also. You can measure the 5v on this capacitor before you mod it to confirm.
Yes you can remove it before trimming. I would recommend doing this so you can confirm the relocation working before trimming as it can be tricky to get each connection solid. The required components you should relocate are two .1uF capacitors that are on each voltage supply on both sides of the...
I tested the addressable led and I have the same result you experience. The datasheet of the one we purchase for the pms leads on that it is the same as any other ws2812 led however this one seems to be different. There are many styles of addressable leds out there however they are not all the...
May be obvious, but is the battery charged? This is sign of voltage drop could be from too thin wires, battery not charged, or a short. Fix the issue, the pms could be fine perhaps.
You need to be using 22awg wire for the wii power and battery. This is certainly an issue as the 28 wire will have voltage drop which could be the cause of your experience.
The screen won't "turn on" unless there is also a video signal from the wii. Test the wii on another TV to see if maybe its the wii that is not turning on.
