Ok so I recently just completed my first Wii portable and it worked, but had some small stuff to try to fix.
Went back into it to properly connect the red line for VGA and troubleshoot why audio was not working, but now I have this issue where I have continuity between 1.8v and ground as well as between 1.15v and ground.
During the process of me turning it back on to see if the red line was properly connected, the wii turned on and then immediately shut off. So I started checking stuff out again and found that I had continuity between all of my VGA lines and they're respective ground lines. Figured I'd disconnect all the ground lines for VGA and see if the wii would turn on.
Same thing, immediately shuts off.
I've disconnected everything from the wii and checked my resistances against the Nold trim resistance guide, and they all still check out. I do have continuity between 1.8v and ground as well as 1.15v and ground, and I know their resistances are relatively low and could cause a meter to beep, but I'm not sure why the wii is refusing to even stay on.
Is it possible my trim is dead even though it had worked before?
Should be of note that originally the wii did not have proper connection with the heatspreaders, but the wii never stayed on for longer than a minute or 2 before turning off on its own due to the RVL-NTC. I've since corrected the issue though.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, because I have no idea why this kind of thing would happen.
Currently the wii is completely disconnected from everything, still have continuity between the aforementioned points, but my resistances between everything checks out.
