Hey guys, I attempted to trim a Wii for the first time, I'll have some photos linked. I just wanted to know if there were any preliminary ways to determine whether or not it would boot (without hooking up to a PMS). I tested the resistance values and I was getting pretty regular readings. Not sure if the exposed copper will cause issues or if it is safe to trim it out. Just curious to see if there are any glaring issues before I try to boot it up.

If you wanted, you’d be good just to trim off that bottom bit with the exposed copper under the 1v15 capacitor. Looks like it dug down past the first layer, but if the resistances check out it’s prob okay.
Looks like there’s a couple cut-through components in the corner, best advised to remove those
The exposed copper on the top of the board can be addressed through the normal post-trim sanding process
Good luck, and hope you get a boot first try!
