Ghosts problem with my custom regulator

[groseil]

hello I have a problem with my pth08080... I have it wired so as to obtain 1v 1.15v 3.3v and 5v by following the guide available on bitbuilt. all works except the 5v. when I power them the 5v causes a short circuit which puts my power supply off so I decide to remove the 5v and I reconnect my 3 other voltages to my wii and everything works my wii starts.
I went to the relocation of the USB but all this gives me problems.. what should I do?? (I tried with 2 different new pth08080s and it did the same thing)

We need pictures to further diagnose.

Did you check for continuity between 5v and ground?

 

[groseil]

even if I change the 5v regulator it ends up burning out it becomes very hot.

What input voltage are you using?

 

[groseil]

This is the original 12v power supply for the Wii

This capacitor is installed incorrectly.

Electrolytic capacitors have a polarity. One leg is positive, the other is negative and must be grounded. You can tell which is which by the presence of a small coloured stripe that is a different colour to the rest of the capacitor. This stripe indicates that the closest leg to it is the negative leg, as shown in the diagram below

You have the polarity correct on the other 3 regs, it's just the 5v one that's backwards. Replace that capacitor with a new one in the correct orientation and the reg should work (if it hasn't been damaged by the heat)

Well, he's already in the right direction, isn't he?

What is your 5v rail connected to? Did you do a continuity check to see if there is a short? It sound like whatever you are connecting your 5v rail to is shorted

 

[groseil]

yes and same problem I tried with several different regulators. this luis present in the photo is not very clean and well built (he suffered I know)

Well, he's already in the right direction, isn't he?

Whoops. The perspective on the photo confused me, yeah that's wired correctly

 

[groseil]

Could it be that the problem comes from the 1v 3.3v or 1.15 regulator?

 

[Stitches]

If things only fail when the 5v reg is connected, it's very unlikely that the other regulators are at fault
