You can add images via an edit, but it's not a super big deal to doublepost in your own worklog now and again

PMS is here but I killed yet ANOTHER wii (I think) basically it powered on for a few seconds, was at the RVLoader screen for like 2 minutes and then the screen said "Out Of Range"
After rebooting the Wii it never showed another output to composite (without mode) or VGA. It could be that my display is broken but I am not sure at the moment.

It's been a while since I updated you guys, I have come to the conclusion that I think the display driver board is broken in some way, probably the MStar chip got fucked up over the past 3 years, so now that I have ordered a new display, it is on the way to me right now, wont be for a couple more weeks until it arrives.

FFC PCBs just arrived! Just waiting on the connectors to arrive from DigiKey before I can utilize them in the portable, but I can finally sleep soundly knowing my wires between the 2 halves will be no longer tangled up!

voila! The flex cable breakout boards are soldered! Now just to wait for my new Wii U Gamepad button breakouts from JLC, since the last ones were poorly designed, so hopefully this next iteration is the last!

Button PCBs are here!! They turned out just as I figured they would, and look amazing!
I was also able to install my flex cable system! And now we have 1 single flex cable connecting the 2 halves together!
This is as far as I can go for now since I’m going on a trip later today and get back Friday night, so we’re closing on the end for this portable!
