Story time: I trimmed the board, relocated U10, and connected voltages to the board from the PMS. The board booted, to my delight. But then, disaster struck. I was considering removing the LDO to save some room in my case, and so I was probing with my multimeter to find where the 1.8 V output was. I think I accidentally bridged the 3.3 V input pin and the 1.8 V output pin, because I heard a sound not unlike an arc from static electricity. Afterwards, the board didn't boot... So I removed the LDO, and connected 1.8 V from the PMS to the Wii directly. Now, the board still doesn't boot. The PMS puts out 1.8 V like a dream, but when I connect a wire to the Wii, the voltage shorts to ground I believe. I read about 0.05 V on the 1.8 V pad. I can't find the short. Resistance to ground on that voltage line is about 36 ohms if I'm correctly measuring. I know the board looks gross in the pictures, but I've since cleaned it to no avail. If anyone can provide some guidance, that would be great. Thanks.
Edit: I've tried connecting 1.8 V to the LDO pad, the capacitor (?) right next to it, and the 9 vias nearby. All short...
