Yeah thats what happened with my 360... modded it to sell almost a year ago and i've still got it.

Anyway, great mod so far! I've just got my wii and I'm desperate to mod it, but up until now i hadn't seen anyone attempt it. Looking forward to seeing yours finished... should give me a few ideas of what can be done.

Keep up the good work.

BTW it was really hard to get apart.

well not that hard but i didnt have a tri wing and it has like 30 screws that u have to take out

[popballz]

well this isnt much of an update but what ever.......



the painting is very good its just that i cant make it not blurry...sorry


it is white if u cant tell










and i should also be ording 100 leds in the next few days

(25 of these colors   red , blue, white, and green)

i am going to put the white in this tho

[popballz]

BTW i have this French final and i an procrastination by trying to figure stuff out about my wii

and yes it is all clearly marked like that

I think you could run into problems trying to power 100 LEDs. That point could work, but I wouldn't trust that big of a load on it; too risky.

A better solution for handling that big of a load is taking the power directly from the source. There is a spot right under the power plug that supplies the direct 12V. The problem with this though is that it is unswitched, so if you want your LEDs to turn off, you'd have to put a switch on them.

If you could lower the LED count, then it wouldn't be such a big load for the components and should still provide ample lighting.

i wasnt going to put 100 in there

i was just going to buy 100 25 of  red green blue and white.... i was going to put like 10 white leds in there


and SICKdimension is there a way to by pass that $3.50 shipping charge? if i only want like 5 resisters?

and i couldnt get the solder to stick to that point.....i have done alot of soldering before with the xbox and 360 and the points looked the same as the 360 rf board and that was easy...( for the led color swap)


any suggestions

OK, 10 LEDs is perfect. You should measure the point too before using it to make sure it is a switched 5V source. You can use some flux on the point to get the solder to join with it. Unfortunately, the shipping charge must stay at that price. The resistors would rip a regular envelope, so they must be sent in a padded one, which significantly raises the price with their new rates.

well not much to say,, just that i orderes some stuff
