Wii Mini WiFi Mod Sanity Check

[Nandster]

HI all,

So I'm finished on the hardware side of things re webhdx's brilliant WiFi kit for the Wii Mini. During final continuity checks on the push connector for the WiFi module, I noticed I was showing continuity on pins 8, 9, and 10.

Now I know pins 9 and 10 (1.8v) are linked anyway, so that's fine...but pin 8 is seemingly supposed to be a ground...so I'm wondering now if I've got a short under the connector? Or, are they supposed to be grounded anyway?

There's no visible shorts, see attached pic. I'd appreciate any heads up on this one. I have gone ahead and powered up the console since, and it appears to be working perfectly (though the software side of the mod isn't done and as such the WiFi functionality remains disabled for the moment)

Any kind soul willing to check this for me?

I've removed the connector, and checked the pads manually. Pads 8, 9, and 10 are all showing continuity so it's not a problem with the connector (if it's even an issue at all??)
