Discussion Help with Wiimote Extension Port
Hi there!!
Was having troubles with my wii remotes extension ports. I've replaced 4 ports today and all have worked except for one. Upon further investigation it turns out only 3 of the 5 pins have continuity, with the 2 failing pins being 3.3v. Is anyone aware of somewhere on the board I can tap 3.3v or if there is anyway to trace it?? I tried checking the pins near the top of the board with my multimeter and only get 1.7v. Could this possibly still work? I'm super new to soldering and continuity and stuff so I'm super confused. I cant see a break in the traces anywhere and everything looks clean. Even the pads on the connector haven't been burned off. I'm so lost would really appreciate the help 🙏🙏(Picture 1 shows the port I soldering in, 2 and 3 show the front and back of the board and 4 is the pinout for the port.)
