Today we're going to be cutting a Wii in half. In order for the console to fit inside a small Gameboy like shell it needs to shrink down a lot. Cutting out parts of the motherboard that are not needed is a method modders have been using for a while now and today we're going to see if we can cut a board up and still have it start up.

John you really need to make sure to wear a mask when cutting pcb boards. That dust is hell on the lungs and can actually damage them. You are essentially inhaling fiberglass. Safety first.

@Cjay2200 3 года назад

I used some CAT5 to wired up computer parts for a lab on a breadboard in school back in the day. CPU, RAM, ROM, etc. It was a terrible experience because these little cables are very fragile and some of them broke inside the sheath from being manipulated too much. It was a nightmare to debug.

@amansaxena5898 3 года назад

My suggestion, if the screw holes are too tight, try driving the screws without the PCB to create the threads/bore out the holes. Then remove the screws, place the PCB and screw in. It may seem obvious to some but better to point it out and save someone from thrashing their PCB and/or components.

Nice work Spawn Wave, also don't forget to remove the 5 capacitors on the front of the Wii motherboard. You will not be able to close up the case if you don't and it's easier to remove them now before too many tiny wires are on.

Fix a tablet sized hdmi screen to a wii and connect then stick a wii remote and a nunchuck to the side with Velcro and you have a switch that reads disks

@notneeded872 3 года назад

I understand the first 2 but the intact part doesn't make sense, It would make it significantly larger, and the other stuff on the board is mostly voltage controllers, disk drive stuff, wireless stuff (WiFi and Bluetooth which can be moved) and game cube controller stuff. Using it couldn't even avoid soldering because of the fact that you'd have to redo the voltage control anyway
