Question how do i turn on a trimmed wii?

[az4521]

i mean there's no power button anymore to press, so how.

Supplying voltages to the indicated spots will cause the console to boot. Assuming you have the U10 relocated

 

[az4521]

oh. crap. it's 100% NOT doing that.

EDIT: turns out i've shorted u10 to ground.

EDIT2: still not booting. pls help.

How are you supplying voltages to everything?

 

[az4521]

yep, and i've tested and i got the right voltages to within 0.005V.

i just checked and it seems there's continuity between the 1.15V line and ground, and 1V does a short beep then stops being connected.

 

[GingerOfOz]

Measure the resistance between 1.15 and GND. It's generally around 30 ohms, which is often enough to trigger continuity. I'd measure your resistance on the 1v line, because I don't think it should be that low.

Also, when you say not booting, are you getting a black screen, or no signal?

i'm just getting no signal, and the CPU/GPU arent heating up, so i assume it's off.1.15 and gnd have 30 Ohm so yeah i think that's fine,. is there any reason for 1v to do the short beep thing? i just tap it with the multimeter and it beeps for a bit then stops entirely. 1V to GND measures ~60Ohms.

EDIT: i think i've made progress. the CPU and GPU now heat up when i boot, screen still shows nothing but that might just be my bad a/V wiring.

 

[GingerOfOz]

I measure 160 ohms on my 1v line. How vigorously have you sanded?

No need to worry about this anymore ginger. If this guy ever comes back, just ignore him. we'll take care of him.

 

[GingerOfOz]

Oh boy
