Question LDO relocation

[Ottoman Luigi]

I have looked everywhere but cannot find a guide on LDO relocation, or the LDO pinout. Can anyone provide me with a link or tell me how I do it?

The best way is to look at the Definitive Trimming Guide, as well as the compendium to see where it all connects up. You can get the values for the feedback resistors from Shank's Super Thread by looking at the Ref Des numbers on the board. I would highly recommend going for something like a PTH08080WAH reg for 1v8 rather than relocating the LDO for a more permanent solution, I fear that, with long term use without a way to sink the heat (like it does when soldered to the board), the LDO might prematurely fail.

I have seen the wii trimming guide and it shows everything except the LDO. I can't find Shan's super thread. Can you link it?
