That could literally be anything. In order to help you we need to know everything you have done and pictures help too. Are you powering it from a DC power supply? Are you using batteries? Are they charged? Is the Wii motherboard trimmed?

I've had this exact issue before. This happened to a stock board of mine after I dropped a piece of metal on the regs. If you hold the power button down does it go tick-tick-tick-tick-tick? If so, I would assume that the board itself is fine but the regs are screwed. The regs are pretty sensitive, complicated, and not well documented, so there isn't much you can do.
I'm pretty sure your board should be able to still work off of custom regulators.

Yea a short could cause it too. The 2901chip is detecting a problem and is shutting the power systems down.

It is very likely it is not turning on due to a short. You can use a multimeter to see if any of the connections on the ports are creating a short. You could use your soldering iron to clean up the connections and use some rubbing alcohol to clear away the flux.
