Gamecube mobo not coming on, Freaking out

[Thursty]

So today was the day I was actually going to finish my Rcube. Wiring everything up, all that was left was the heatsink. Unfortunately after battling the battery not working, I finally wired it all up, and the screen came on, but no Gamecube. Unwired everything, rewired it, nothing.


Why is my GC not turning on?

The only thing I think could have happened is something happened when I desoldered the Controller wires from the front of the board.

this happened one time before whenever I was messing with the controller wires...I know it isn't the DD relocation, and I know I'm getting proper Voltage..So WHY IS THIS HAPPENING WHEN I'M LITERALLY ALMOST DONE?!

Halp!

This works almost every time.
Bridge the white fuse on the regulator or GC MOBO if you don't have the regulator board.

Can you show me where?

On the mobo that is, I do not use the power board, just straight 12v

Whoa. Hold off on that for a sec.

First off, you should clean your board up. Blow on it (or compressed air) and then sand off the loose solder around the controller port area.

Second, you have some globs of solder that concern me a little. The solder around the blue wires (for power and ground) needs to be cleaned up. Clean up the AV solder points as well. If solder ever gets on the edge of the board, a short is likely to happen between the inner layers and the outer layers of the board (which ruins your 3.3v line and then some).

Third, your memory card wires may have shorted somewhere. Look for any loose or touching wires. Then look ALL over the board for loose globs of solder or any potential shorts.

now, do the chips get hot at all? I would tell you to hook up the controller board to see how the long the orange light was on for, but you got rid of the controller cable connector unfortunately

Do all of this, and you should have a better chance of fixing things

It was fuse, fixed and done now

Cool man but you might want to make sure nothing else trips that fuse again
