Solved Odd screen issue

[ScrambledFrequency]

I have been working on wiring up a screen for testing.
I did the 3.3v mod posted on 4layer's site.
Nothing is short circuited.
The screen's power light comes on and then goes out when I press the power button.
I am powering it off an RVL-PMS2.

Do you have an input video signal connected?

 

[ScrambledFrequency]

No, but it should give me a blue screen with the input type, right?

 

[Gman]

normally it will be blue screen for a few seconds and then turn black.

 

[ScrambledFrequency]

Yep that's what I meant.
It's not even giving me that.
What could it be?
Too much power draw?
Unconfigured PMS?
ALIENS?!(just kidding)

 

[Gman]

I dont know. why dont you try it with a video signal

 

[ScrambledFrequency]

OK, I got the screen up and running, but now the wii does not seem to be outputting a video signal.

The wii is getting hot, so it probably is working.

 

[Gman]

you've soldered the video in the wrong spot. all your video wires are connected to nothing on the wii. Also the wiring does not look very good.

 

[ScrambledFrequency]

What is the right spot for video?
I soldered the wire from the white wire on the screen to the wire right above the BGR you see on the wii.

 

[Gman]

if you removed the capacitors like you have done you need to solder on the input side which is the opposite to where you have connected

 

[ScrambledFrequency]

I resoldered to the input side like you said, but it still is not working.
The screen refused to accept any inputs after I soldered the wii's input, so maybe it's the screen.
The wii is not miswired unless my H and V sync wires crisscrossed.(I'm going to patch in VGA, but am using composite for testing.)
The screen still turns on (blue screen) but no inputs register.
Did I bust my screen ALREADY??

 

[Gman]

It's more likely your wii is not turning on. You need to eliminate a variable by testing the wii on your tv.

 

[ScrambledFrequency]

OK, I thought I should probably do that.
My wii is heating up, though.
Would it be broken if it's not turning on?

 

[ScrambledFrequency]

OK, my wii is not outputting a signal.
However, all the voltages are connected, and I checked the resistances.
Anything I'm doing wrong?

you are absolutely doing something wrong. What it is, I dont know. You need to do more troubleshooting. I already told you the wiring is not perfect.

Can you show us your U10 via wiring on the other side of the board?

 

[SparkleBear]

Its difficult to see from the blurry photos... But i think you are adding extra voltage wires to your u10 relocation that are not necessary. The u5 pads already provide ground and 3v3 to the chip. Did you remember to cut the trace that leads to the output pin? I agree with where @Stitches was going with u10 questions.

Check the output pin of the u10 relocation. Is it metering 3v3? Check the u10 gpu via, Is it also metering 3v3? If this voltage is not present, wii will not complete its boot cycle. But the chipset will still get hot... so warm chips are not enough to tell that the wii is functioning yet.

Try to take some less blurry photos of the front and back of your wired trim. Share them here, and we will all figure it out together.

 

[ScrambledFrequency]

I did the U10 wiring awhile ago, and even opened a thread on it.
The extra voltage wires are because I accidentally scratched off the trace too far.
I eventually got it working but now it stopped working.
Here's a photo

EDIT: I am getting a fuzzy and distorted image on a regular tv, but my screen is not getting anything.
Do I need to use a heavier wire( interference and all that)?
Or is it a problem with the screen?

 

[Gman]

if the wii looks like your profile pic than I am not convinced its the screen

 

[ScrambledFrequency]

Yep haha.
I'm thinking there's a crap ton of interference, so I'll try a heavier wire.
