hi guys, finishing the portable wii project and being at 99.99% I have this problem, the pms works correctly all the voltages are supplied, it turns on regularly etc. in short, perfect but the notification LED continues to flash green very slowly. no matter what I do, if I plug in the charger or unplug it, if the batteries are at the minimum level or whatever, it continues to flash green even with the console off.... the voltage on the green line goes from around 1.4v to 3.8v like in the video. I also tried reflashing the fw both hex and compiled from the folder but nothing worked. I temporarily installed the firmware from the pms old wiiv2 folder. the LED became "rbg" (white) but I didn't have the courage to power the board :P
  1. Has this ever happened to anyone or any ideas? the lines are not shorted and the other two B and R remain at 3.8v (led off)
  2. I tried double clicking the power button but nothing
  3. the pms is the first version (not connected with rvloader)



----------------
I first tried to swap the LF pic with the F pic but without success! the nice thing is that before the swap on the second pms created it worked perfectly and vice versa! therefore, as per the datasheet, the pics are obviously interchangeable except for the supply voltage.
so the only suspect was the BQ chip, reflowed and now it works perfectly!
I was going astray because even on the second pms card if I flashed the wiipms or ps2pms fw the LED did the same thing!
apart from the fact that for some reason my IDE is unable to compile the projects, I tried with the xc8 versions equal to xii but nothing... however with the hex it works and this is the important thing...
