DEFAULT WAY : wire all pins
Custom way: This options give the gamecube power on only by 5 wires!
less soldering, more free espace inside
pin 22 of the regulator board have 5v, and pins 22 and 11 from the motherboard need it, just "bridge" (join with soldering iron) the pins 22 and 11 from the motherboard and connect them to the pin 22 of the regulator board using a wire.
the pin 21 of the regulator board gives 12v and the pin 10 of the motherboard needs 12v, just connect it using a wire
the pin 12 of the regulator board give "ground" and pin 1 of the motherboard needs ground, just connect then (use a fat wire at this step cause lot of power need pass through, other member and me noticed video problems if not doing this)
bridge pins 16,17 and 18 at regulator board, and wire them to pins 6,7,16,17,18,19 of the motherboard wich need o be bridged to the system get 3,4v
bridge pins 2 and 13 from the MOBO and wire them to pin 13 of the regulator board to the system get 5v
anyways i followed these steps and my motherboard will not turn on, i pluged it into the wall and pluged it into the tv but nothing shows up
maybe it has something to do with the dvd drive i dunno ive never gotten into electronics before

Re: my gamecube dvd drive wont turn on nor the motherboard, noob
sorry for the double post but i decided to re do the soldering with the pins, anyways other then it being more clean i ran into a problem, i noticed that when i was connecting the ground from the motherboard to the regulator board, i had it connected to pin 10 on the regulator board not pin 12, now ive turned it on pluged it into the wall thinking it was all good before and im afraid i may have fried my motherboard is this the case?
