Hello everyone! This is an update to a project I started nearly 2 years ago and thought I was done, only to have the board completely fry when I attempted to run letterbomb. By that point that was I believe the 3rd board that had gone bad, so I hung the project up indefinitely. Fast forward to...

Yep, that's the one. Thanks for the heads up, didn't realize they weren't shipping those anymore thanks for the reply, I think I may just keep the drive intact. Won't be as compact, but it'll still be fun.

Hello. I'm getting ready to start a gamecube Portable project and I'm having trouble finding information on getting started. Most or the threads I find are from people who already know their stuff and talk in technical jargon I don't know yet. I have done a wii laptop before, so I do have...

Thanks for the reply. Have you ever heard if letterbomb causing electrical issues when modding the Wii? I want to make sure that had nothing to do with it so I don't fry another board with the package.

So, I was soft modding a wii on a completed wii laptop project, and suddenly the Wii died. Here's the details. I had finished all the wiring and hardware modding on my Wii laptop and had my portable reassembled, but had to set up the software and softmod it so I can run games off USB loader...

BUMP... Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Okay, so I've got a knew ground dilemma...crisis actually. I had finished all the wiring fixes and everything, and had my portable reassembled, but had to set up the software and softmod it so I can run games off USB loader. When I opened letter bomb, it hung for a few seconds and then turned...

I do tin the tip, and it works great on the other leads, it's just the grounds I have trouble with.

I had it at the max temp (480°C), I don't know why it was giving me such trouble. I ended up finally getting it, I had to get a very small tip that would fit all the way through the hole in the board so it melted all the solder, then I got the pin through. I need to get a solder sucker, that...

I've got a strange issue, wanted to reach out to you guys to see if you have any ideas. I'm improving the wiring on the video, audio, etc for better longevity to make sure wires don't corrode and or break, so I'm changing the wiring from being directly wired to the board to being on headers...

Thanks! I'm doing a few more modifications before it's ready to sell, I'll upload some more pics when I get that done.

Thanks for the reply. I did use epoxy to secure the screen, and then I used the bondo to fill in the gaps in the plastic. Perhaps I can use something different for the big gaps and then cover it in bondo. Any suggestions as an alternative to bondo for large gaps? I did notice after taking it...

So I've finished my Wii laptop (mostly), and now that I've got the hinges installed and everything, I guess the opening and closing of the screen is causing stress on the bondo I used for the lcd housing because it has cracked some. There are very minor cracks in the bottom that are just barely...

After two months, and two wii motherboards, I finally finished my Wii laptop, mostly anyway. I have a few kinks to get out, but it is put together and functional. I used the ZN-40 and ZN-45 cases from Polycase and spray painted it a gloss gray color. Nothing fancy as far as features. I'm in...

Great to know, thanks for all the info!
