Composite Issues

[midgetman104]

So I got my wiikey back from megalomanic and I sat down to wire it up, flipped the switch on my gc to make sure it was working..and it wasn't. I know it's not fried because the chips still get hot, so I figured the issue must be my composite wiring, re-wired to pin 9 and still nothin, then I tried the alternate via in Ashen's guide, and still nothin. I thought It might be the screen but it works perfectly on my wii. I'm pretty sure it's not because of sloppy wiring

Anyways, anyone have any ideas/alternate soldering points?

There is a little resistor by the video chip you've cut off. You must replace it, look in my guide.

I'm on the same issue on a OMGWTF board cut. I've read you posting that without this little resistor, you can get a crap video, but NO video is normal?

Also, there's a tolerance on the 2.4k resister? Or can I replace it by some other with less resistance?

 

[Ashen]

On ntsc boards you will get no video without that resistor, on pal boards it varies from crap video to no video also. I've used 2.2-2.5k resistors before with no trouble.

NTSC board tested with 2.7k...no issues

 

[midgetman104]

I wired up a 2.2k resistor and still nothin. Any ideas?

can you at least hear audio??
if not, then you have a short somewhere

 

[midgetman104]

Nope no audio either, I don't understand how I have a short though, all I have connected is composite, audio, and controller data and there is no visible wire touching. Edges of the board are also sanded

 

[megalomaniac]

check your voltages, also test if you have a gnd short along any of those voltages

 

[midgetman104]

Okay so I checked all of the voltages, they're fine. Do you think it may have to do with the removed filtering capacitor?

 

[public-pervert]

Heck yeah! Got it working again! Thanks Ashen and Megaloman!

 

[Ashen]

Glad you got it working pervert.

Midgetman, I need to see more of your board. What you've cut, etc.

 

[midgetman104]

Here you go Ashen, thanks for the help guys

 

[Ashen]

You need to put the little tubelike clock thing back on the mx chip.

 

[midgetman104]

is it possible to use one off of a dead board?

 

[Ashen]

Most likely.

 

[midgetman104]

Okay so I finally got around to reconnecting the thing, and still nothing. I don't understand what's wrong.

 

[Ashen]

Did you reconnect it the right way?

 

[midgetman104]

yep

 

[megalomaniac]

post new pics top and bottom...
also how did you reconnect r40? (AVE composite resistor)
