Solved Trouble Testing OMGWTF Trim.

[goopflinger97]

Hello all, I bought parts for this build months ago and I am just now getting into the build. I’ve softmodded my Wii to boot into RVLoader and patched out Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, etc. etc. the works. I’ve trimmed my Wii, and sanded away all the edges. I am using a PMS lite to test, and have soldered each voltage (1v, 1.15v, 1.8v, 3.3v) to its corresponding pad on the PMS. I have two ground wires from the PMS to the Wii and a button wired to a ground and the BTN pad. I did not swap the u5 for the U10, as I am under the impression that the PMS Lite emulates the U10, so I have wired from the U10 pad to the corresponding via on the underside of the wii.
For video output, I have wired a cable from the c57 via to the corresponding pin on the AV port as well as a ground wire. + and - pads have also been wired to a battery. When power is supplied to the Wii and I press the button, nothing happens. No signal on the TV. I believe that this is because I have modded my Wii for VGA and I am trying to output component. What do?

My resistances on the voltages are as follows. (all 3.3 readings taken on 20k ohms, all others on 200 ohms.

1v to ground: 100.7
1.15v to ground: 27
1.15v to 1v: 147
1.8v to ground: 36
1.8v to 1v: 129
1.8v to 1.15v: 83
3.3v to ground 13.8
3.3v to 1v: 14.4
3.3v to 1.15v: 13.8
3.3v to 1.8v: 7.25

I did my best to include all relevant information, please let me know if there is anything else I can provide. Thank you.

We'll need photos of the board and wiring to be of help

I attached a PDF with all the photos but I c

an add images here.

That soldering needs serious cleaning up before any guesswork can take place. There are wires with loose strands sticking out all which ways, and some very over-exposed solid core wires. Both of which are just begging to short against anything they can touch.

Thanks for your insight. I appreciate your willingness to help. I have done my best to tighten up the soldering. No frayed edges, and I decreased the amount of exposed wire on the solid core wires. Alas, no boot. Let the guesswork begin! I have little experience as you may've been able to tell, so it is possible I've bungled something irreparably. The Wii trim is quite a hurdle.
UPDATE:
I have engaged in critical thinking and some mild research, and I’ve realized that the 1.8v pad on the PMS is useless atm. Instead I need to wire up a 3.3 v to the 1.8v regulator on the Wii. The rest of the PMS is working fine. Resistance on the Wii is still fine.

Update 2: tried new wiring scheme, no power anywhere. Rechecking and redoing all wiring for a short
