So I got 3 untested wii's from someone, when I tried them, all showed a black screen (With signal) with no audio. I tried all of them in both a somewhat new tv and an old crt display, none worked.
I also couldn't connect a wiimote, the reset button didn't work, but the disk drive did, so my primary suspects are the bluetooth or wifi modules, but how can I tell if the bluetooth, wifi, or other parts are the problem?
Where I live replacing those things are damn. too. expensive. ($25+ a single bluetooth module, and shipping is out of the question). I've already opened one and cleaned both the wifi and bluetooth modules and their connections to no avail. Holding the reset button on startup doesnt show anything, so i don't think they are modded either. I think its weird that all of them have problems with those modules, so how can I proceed? Do I sell them for nothing or do I waste a ton of money trying to revive them?

Try RVLoader as it dosent require Bluetooth nor wifi to boot, if you cant you definitely need new wifi/bluetooth modules

you can try swapping bluetooth/wifi modules and see which ones is dead

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
