Hardware Wii won't turn on after wiring to battery pack

[Biovirulent]

In a dark room, I tried to wire and test the battery pack and the wii to show a friend, and I mixed the positive and negative up. It no longer turns on, wiring it to either the battery pack or the wall outlet/power supply. Is it ruined, or would a new AC cable fix it?

(It was a 12V, it has worked before, I simply wired the wrong wires to each other)

someone in this thread done something similar, suggested fix was a internal fuse on the wii pcb board. says its close to the connector.

edit"

fairly sure this is the fuse, you should be able to do a continuity test on it. if it fails you could either bridge it or replace it. I'd recommend to replace it cause next time it would fry the pcb instead of blowing a fuse.

Thank you so much!

This is quite a bit more complicated to take apart than the gamecube. Oh boy.

Update on it, I got it to power after removing the fuse and bridging it with solder.
... Now I need a wiimote.

Sweet, glad it worked out
