Well, the multimeter, which is taking readings from the 1 9v line into the board, unfailingly shows the voltage rising and then being cut down to zero, each time I power on. When I said "power port", I meant the one on the motherboard. When attached to the ground and the v+ of the plug, it...

Alright fellows, I'll tell you, this is it. I'm on the last leg of the race, just about to finish my portable up, and the day before it's due, it decides to malfunction. I'm crushed. Last night I brought it inside after doing some testing, and everything worked perfectly. This morning I wake...

Alright, cool, I'll get a 14.8v PCB. I would love to make a custom regulator, but this is for a diving light. I told my co-worker that I'd make her diving light rechargeable for a commission of 200$, which she took off the bat.

So far you fellows have been a big help. Now, I just want to be absolutely certain that what I do next will not explode my apartment (or at the very least ruin my batteries). :dah: I'm going for 14.8v. So I'm going to wire up these two 7.4's I've got in series (each with its own protection...

Hey, so I severed the A,B,X,Y,Z, C-Stick PCB from the rest of the controller board. I've been able to basically extend the trace of A,B,X,Y with the help of this diagram (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/14 ... tsko9.jpg/) but my multimeter just went and I can't figure out what to do with...

Yeah, I tested the composite on a television beforehand. I've tried dual blue/gnd and blue/12 without composite (as I don't really have access to a reliable composite output right now) -- but tomorrow I'll go with composite. I'll report back then, but I'm a skeptic.

Yep, I found the models online and they do come with protective board. I'm glad I found them, this'll save me some time.

Now, all of these packs have protection circuit built right into them with the battery + and - emerging in bare leads. Do I have to take any further precautions when wiring them into my machine?

I was going to get at least four of them, but yeah, the first one I checked out and found that it wouldn't fit where I wanted it to. I found a nice couple of 7.4's and good 3.7's lying around in my garage, so I'm going with them.

http://www.all-battery.com/TenergyLi-Po ... 189-0.aspx http://www.all-battery.com/37volt-3000m ... ycell.aspx So, these seem like they're decently priced, and they seem to have good capacity. I'm wondering if they'll suffice. Does anybody have any words of endorsement, or perhaps words of caution?

Well, that didn't occur to me. The mobo and everything's in fine enough shape and I left the original A/V cable connector on for testing purposes. I'll get onto testing that immediately. Ippreciate it. EDIT: As far as I can tell, plugging in the composite from the nintendo cable to the input...

Hello fellows, A week or two ago I took it upon myself to start portabalizing my old 2001 gamecube; opened it up, got down to it and was moving along at a nice pace. Then, I had no idea that there was a community for portabalizing until a friend told me that he had seen what I was doing online...
