Another Wii, another problem

[gorgyrip]

On composite I get a kind of white image. Those aren't camera artifacts, it's just how the image is displayed on the tv.
Remote can't be synced.
The cap on the composite has been replaced and nothing changed.
The BT module was bad, but it was replaced with a known working one. The wifi module has been tested in another console.
All the voltages are present on the inductors.
Tested for priiloader and bootmii and they aren't installed.

What could cause that white weird screen?
Does bootmii requires the BT and wifi modules?

Have you checked these caps?
Around 9:50
EDIT: here is a video with those caps you might need to change -

Being extra careful not to rip the pads.

It's not the caps, Like I've said, the cap has been replaced. I'm using composite.

Yeah I read, I was not sure which caps you replaced that was all.

Hmm... this sounds almost like you should check with "Rare Gaming Dump". They've more or less reversed the whole Wii system front and back.

You can check in their Discord. They're extremely knowledgable about the Wii.

Thank you. I will try my luck there. I have never seen that white weird screen. At first I hoped to be a bad cap and a full brick. And since that's not the case i'm 100% lost.

Same, never seen a Wii display like that before. It's either fully White or fully Black. Never seen it like this before. Please post here if you get it solved as well so it's archived

Sure thing.

Any luck so far?

The guys from the discord say that it;s a dying gpu

I know it's a stupidly simple question, but have you tried changing cables ?
With multi function failing, maybe more than just 1 cable.

Did it produce any sounds ?

Being in B&W also indicates PAL/NTSC conflicts (my 1st thoughts).
Also, the trapezoid is very poor.

Oops, I meant "keystone". These days are rarely indicated, unless you have projector or the like.

BTW - I also left out the other 2 senses on detecting IC/component faults. They are touch (for heat) & smell (for over-heating/burning components).

A dying GPU sounds like a good/accurate enough analysis. But, you have more than one failing issue ... And, you sound like die-hard tech. Just have to solve it !!

It's not the cable or tv. other wii consoles are working fine with those.
I'll leave it as it is until someone with more experience encounters the same problem and finds the issue.
