Hi everyone, I’ve recently fried the BQ25895MRTWR on my RVL-PMS v1, I’ve bought a new one from AliExpress. I was wondering if it just need to be replaced and soldered in place, or I need to upload something in order to get it fixed?

Hi, I’ve followed your advice and bought a spare of the BQ (link). I think that’s the same part… 1) Could the pinout be different? 2) It’s just a replacement or do I need some programming step in order to get everything working?

Hi, I’ve recently fried my RVL-PMS by inserting the cell backwards :facepalm: I was wondering, since the component visibly fried is the U7, can I still use the 1.8V converter instead of the LDO? I’ve found on the forum were is the 1.8V converter, but I’m not into PCBs, so I don’t get were and...

Thank you I didn’t notice that

I found the right datasheet of LDO the Wii uses: Solving a simple equation: I need to test the R1 between pins 3 and 4, R2 between pins 4 and GRN on the Wii motherboard. So R1/R2 should be around 0.44

Unfortunately that‘s not the datasheet for the LDO the Wii uses. I took a look at the resistor values in Shank's Wii Super Thread's resistor section, and I saw like R1 = 1.125kOhm, but where can I find a diagram to see where this R1 is measured?

I found this: Could be right?

Thank you for the answer, what voltage should I put in Vin?

Hi everyone, I’ve recently fried my PMSv1, so I ordered a PMS-lite, but I noticed the LDO is now required. I was very lucky to find my LDO with other trash components, it’s not in perfect condition so I would like to test it somehow. Do you know how to test it with a multimeter?

Ok thank you, I already have a CMOS battery clip, I'll use that.

I've 14Ah with my 4 18650 cells, do you think it isn't enough? Do you know if there is a worklog or something like that?

Hi, I’m building my first Wii and I thought that if the CR2032 (to power on the MX chip), runs out of battery, I have to open the case to replace the old CR2032 with a new one… To avoid those annoying operations I thought to use directly the 18650 cells (considering the negligible amount of...

Hi, I'm planning to place Wi-Fi module near the bluetooth one, and i was wondering if the short distance between the modules could cause interference somehow. Could it be?

Thank you cheese, I’ll remove the wires under the CPU and also the wi-fi, because I tested with my other wii that even with no-wifi patches the wii still boot. The ground wire is the black one on the 3.3V, in couple with the red one.

Thank you Wesk, now it works. I’ll wait for my laptop, cause it’s under repair, then I will complete the 3D models...
