One word : Pain. I'm not doing this again Labeled every wire then secured them with tape These wires are for Bluetooth, Mx chip, digital volume output to rvl Amp, I2c to rvl pms and rvl Amp, volume control from rvl Amp, VGA video so 5x2 wires, USB and I think I'm done

I meant 0.1mm wire I wrote .1mm ^^

After I fried the 5V on my PMS, Thanks to Gunnar I bought some components on Mouser that COULD be what's dead. Lets pray ! (otherwise I'll spend 100€ for a new pms) I've also printed the top case for the first time. On my glass bed, it looks awesome ! (I never really use it but I thought it...

I've talked to Gunnar and the 5V line on the PMS must have been fried :( My can clearly see that L4 has been damaged but we're not sure how far the damages got. I could buy L4 and U4 from mouser and replace them. Doing so will cost me 30€ but I'm unsure it will work. Replacing the PMS will cost...

Please, you should ask this in a new thread, this is a wrokblog... But yes you can, its all indicated in the ultimate triming guide on the forum.

I thought everything would come smoothly from now on... I was wrong While booting the wii with the Bluetooth, USB line and rvl Amp freshly soldered on, it was working and rvloader would boot up but then while loading the USB key, I would get a white screen. After a few reboot, the wii wouldn't...

I've got some good news : My trimmed Wii is working ! My batteries were not charged enough and I guess with the voltage drop, because I was only using one battery, it made the PMS Lite shutdown. I even managed to get VGA video output working :D Now its time for the final 3D Modeling hours and...

And I can confirm that composit video works after I removed the VGA patch and soldered the composite cable.

After my stupid mistakes of yesterday, I came to the conclusion I fried the wii. So I've bought a new one and I'll testé everything I can before trimming it! Starting with the VGA video to my display. I think I wired everything correctly to the driver board but I'm getting no video when I select...

As it is, the fan will work when i push the button and the voltages are correct. As soon as i touch the LDO with 3.3v, everything dies instantly It feels like its some kind of protection on the pms lite side I'd need to know if i have to buy a new wii. I could get one today for 20e

It is still working because when disconnected from the wii it gives the correct voltages. It doesnt work when only 3.3v is soldered to the wii. I'm trying with only 1v and 1.15. EDIT : It's working with both voltage. I know it works because the fan stays on :) EDIT : I think I'll to buy a new...

There was a tiny, tiny, tinyyy solder blob on one of the video IC... I hope its not dead

Just tested it. Fan spins for a second and turns off. There is a very high pich noise while its turned on. it seems that there is a short between 3.3 and 1.8V. What did go wrong..?

Is it right to have ~38 ohms between R, G, B and GROUND for each color? I just finished soldering ten 0.3mm magnet wires to the display board and the motherboard/video IC : R; Ground, G, Ground, B, Ground, H, Ground, V,Ground. I twisted each data wire with a ground. Hope it's gonna be good I'll...

I'll buy another one either very soon so I get it a few days or when I'll have the wii finished I'd like to buy the same one but is there a way to know if the screen was that bad in the beginning or not? There is only 2 orders of this screen on Aliexpress but the seller looks legit and sells a...

When I first plugged the screen in its driver board, I put it the other way by mistake because there was no clear indication on the way it should have been put. After checking one picture on the product on Aliexpress, I figured out I didn't plug it well and that's why it didn't turn on. After...

So I've received all the PCBs and stuff needed to make the portable Wii! Finally! I just have to finalize the 3D model and start printing at least the bottom part. Though, I have a BIG issue with my display... It's aweful. Colors are wrong, too much red or not enough green/blue. There are some...

I'm really happy you find my project interesting :) I've done a LOT of 3D modeling and tinkering. I've totally finished : cooling system with heatsink, copper plate, fan and motherboard are all held in place well and tightly the battery holder in which i'll glue the 2 metallic parts, the flat...

Since nearly a week, I've been 3D modeling the parts and components... I'm starting to assemble them in Fusion 360 so I can make the case i'll 3D print. I already have the dimensions of the handled console. For the active cooling, I'm using a small fan+diy heatsink+copper plate. I'm not sure if...

4layetech just have new PCBs in stock ! I order the RVL-PMS Lite, GC+2, RVL, PD2 and joystick breakout boards ! :D I'm finnaly done (I hope) with spending my money. It cost me a bit more than 300€ for now. I can't wait to receive them :)
