Question How should I troubleshoot my trimmed Wii?

[EU_patty]

Hey guys, I just attempted my first boot test and realistically didn't get a signal. I was just wondering what are some methods of identifying where I may be having shorts or other problems so that I may address them. I'll also provide my wiring so there is additional context as to what I've done this far. I would also like to add that my 21700 battery is at around 3.5V.

Hi,first you need to put at least two grounds wire from the wii to the PMS

Awesome was able to get those ground wires on and I had mistakenly sautering my green 3.3v wire to ground on the PMS. I got a successful boot

Congrats on the boot! Make sure to use flux while solder to ensure the best connection/joint possible.

This is really good rosin core solder: https://a.co/d/07jJKuAV
Here's the best flux you could get, this would make everything a lot easier (coming from someone who was in your shoes a few years ago): https://a.co/d/0eJElER7
