Would that prevent the whole thing from not even turning on?

I think i might know why it isn't working, but I need some confirmation. When I did the slot relocation, some of the wires were touching the solder joint that (I think) was meant to hold the expansion slot in place. The picture shows how the solder joints touched. Could it be that that is the...

Doesn't matter anyway, i found a powerbrick, one that i think is working, but the system wont turn on, and neither will the light :cry4: I worry that the board might be fried. When I cut some of the controller ports off with a dremel, some of the copper dust got in between the traces of the...

OK! PROGRESS!* I got my batteries wired together on the protection circuit, and they are all charged up. But because i am an idiot, i forgot to order some samples of the step down regulator from TI :cry4: ! But my powerbrick is broken (it didnt work so if bludgeoned it to death to harvest its...

batteries are wired together, and im charging now pictures soonish

ok, my batteries came in the mail, and i was wondering if i solder the wire right onto the battery or just tape it down with electrical tape

Project is going to be on hold for a while, as I must attend my cousins wedding in Lake Tahoe, or however you spell it I should be back home in a week, and hopefully, my batteries will have arrived, our housesitter will hopefully not blow them up, and i can continue with the project

Is there even enough ಠ_ಠ

um. wat

ok, I got some IDE cable, and wired it up, and im going to test it out now. BUT!!! HERE IS THE AGONIZING THING!!!! I CANT FIND MY *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ING POWERBRICK, and so, as of right now, I am trying to deal with a stubborn one, that only works when it wants to. So im trying the powerbrick out on my "I know...

Hmmmm... Even though it will by a huge pain in my backside, I think it would be good to buy some IDE cable and rewire the whole thing. The wire is so stiff that it breaks the soldering connections if i try to bend it

What gauge/type of wire do you use instead? Or should I just deal with it?

My first portable N64! :D I already ordered the batteries and I am currently attempting to relocate the cart slot. This is my progress so far. I took the case off and removed two of the controller ports. The case i will be using is a Polycase WA-25. Im not sure what screen to use yet, a Zenith...

Ok, sorry for the double post. My wire is too stiff. Its 22 gauge and stranded. Specifically this: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... Id=2049745 What type of wire do you guys use for relocation

here you go

and this maintains a strong connection? Cool. I thought they would break off if you did it like that. Thanks

My wires wont go in if i dont remove the pins. they are stranded, and a tight fit

Thanks. Did this, and now i can remove the pins. Why do there have to be so many!? :P

The end is shiny, but the rest of the actual soldering tip is dull Here is a picture sorry for the angle, hard to get good light, and some sort of focus. And yeah, it is screwed in, the thing is crooked

Yeah. Its hot. Burned my finger too With a 15 watt?
