I finally wired up the last bit of my ashida. However, after actually turning it on, the fan spins normally for a little and then starts spinning not so normal. The screen lights up but then goes black. The fan will continue to turn until i turn off the ashida. Any tips for troubleshooting?
 
Did you test in between wiring to see if it worked right after trimming and connecting the other stuff?
Did you install cios (can brick your wii this way).
Did you reinstall priiloader after the trim?
I did the last 2 wrong which caused a similar issue on my ashida. In that case, it's probably bricked. Maybe you could reinstall rvloader blindly, but it's gonna be hard without visual. (Since the menu's don't have audio feedback).

The fan thing should be normal if you haven't updated the fan speed. The BOM fan needs too much power to spin, so it will rattle and not properly spin if it's not set to +- 95% as min power.

I would also double check your connections from the wii to the driver board. And the last thing that could be the cause is the U10 (emulation).
It's probably gonna be related to wiring or to something going wrong on the wii itself.
 
I did test in between wiring, however, i never installed priiloader in between trimming and the final product. Is that gonna be an issue?
I don’t really remember if I installed cios, but I don’t think i would’ve i’ve installed homebrew and rvloader on around 5 wiis now so i dont think that would be the issue.
thanks for the tip on the fan

i will double check and give my information asap for some help if I don’t know what might be the issue.
 
Priiloader would'e been installed together with rvloader, so no issues if you didn't install it separately. But if you only installed rvloader and it didn't have cios before, then it shouldn't be the cause. I've seen it on 1 of the wii's I trimmed that had usbloader on it.
So if it's not cios related, then I could only think of something going wrong with the wires of the screen for signal or something U10 related since the screen seems to turn on, but it doesn't get data to show.
Could also be the sdw/scw wires or you might've forgotten to twist wires that need it.
 
Can you provide some clear photos of your wiring so we can eyeball for any physical issues?
