Oh! Come to think of it, the rumble is working correctly, at least on port 1. I usually use a Wavebird so it wouldn't have come to mind if it hadn't, but this helps! Also, thank you for including that link, it'll be a big help! I suppose that means it's a more local issue. I'll do a more...

I can give that a try, thank you. Beyond that, do you have any information on where the voltage regulation on a Wii is and what parts would need to be replaced that specifically sends power to the USB ports? At this point, I'm leaning heavily towards that as the one solution left to try.

Oh I'm not using an external disk drive. Indeed, that's the problem! If I tried, it wouldn't even start up. I'm using an SD card because it's the only thing I can rely on to power up without forcing another USB device to turn off.

"Soon" dragged on for two years, and I'm sorry about that! I did get a Y split cable, but plugging that thing into a wall outlet and then back into my Wii terrified me, since it's just a dumb voltage line. In any case, things do appear to be more stable with the thing, but I am scared to run...

Alright, then I'll pick up a Y cable soon.

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll do just that (the latter) with an externally powered USB hub of some kind. Here's hoping.

Dang... no chance it might be a power rail related issue?

I'm not using any drives currently. I'm using the Wiispeak microphone and the ethernet adapter, but currently only the ethernet adapter is plugged in, and yes, it's still intermittently turning off the device. It doesn't matter if I'm playing or not, as it fails even when in the base Wii menu...

Alright I've been doing some work on my Wii and have recapped it's video to get a nice big bright image as well as repaired the optical drive (which... I'd rather not get into... frustrations were had). But, there's one remaining issue I've yet to repair on my Adam Whii. My USB ports appear to...

I've been looking for some time for technical repair details for the Wii and this is the best place I've found. I'm not looking to portabalize my Wii but this has already proven a good resource for working out repairs to it. In particular, I've already managed to replace caps to get my video...
