If the DD isnt working then you need to manually give it 5v. Use a multimeter to check your powerboard to make sure its giving off the right voltages. If the powerboard works, then find a spot on the board with 5v and attach a wire from that spot to the 5v pins of the DD. You can check out Techknotts diagram on Benheck to get those specific pinouts.

I did some work last week, and the results weren't too good. I couldn't get the last half of my case to form right and I lost 2 pieces of plastic, I'm down to my last piece and hope to get it right this time. I'm going to be working on that soon.

Well what do you do on a lazy sunday afternoon, reading modretro, sittin' in your mario pajamas?
You build a gamecube portable, that's what.
The project is back underway, I found one more piece of plastic laying around and I figured out why the last 2 pieces failed. I decided to use a broken hard drive I had laying around instead of my usual wood blocks, which was a big mistake, it cover 2 of the main suction holes, not a smart move on my part.
I also got a new revision C gamecube from a friend, that also came with mp 7 and twilight princess.
I do have to get some stuff still though.
I need the batteries of course, and some abs cement. And I'm going to try to use no hotglue in this case at all, I don't want this to meet the same fate as the 64 boy. I'm going with the mario method, although tedious it's long lasting. (making a screw post and screw for everyting. I've got some plastic plugs the taper themselves when you put a screw in, going to use abs on them to fuse them to the plastic.
So the second half of the case is done, the last major part of the case is getting the flanks properly attached.

You guys must have not seen that bad news thread.
It got mailed to SC on the hottest week of the year and all the glue melted in the truck, SS said he has problems with shipping often. It can get above 130 in a shipping truck it SC. So I lost all that work and the guy that bought it lost out.

Hot glue is like ice, it's really cool, but bring the heat and it melts.
Melted ice hurts less when it gets in your eyes though.

Would high temp glue not do this? Wikipedia says low temp glue is set to melt at 250 F
But that is how hot the glue gets, not necessarily the melting point, which I guess Bentomo found out was pretty low.
High temp glue guns melt the glue at 380 F so many they won't be as likely to melt in a truck?

It doesn't melt so much as it softens, enough to be loosened by a bump in the road, also the actual adhesive in the glue is weakened or something maybe?
