Loki style wii laptop (preveiw)

[TheMainLoki]

Here are so preveiw pics of my wii laptop. I still need to make a amp for sound and make my case also some other little stuff such as getting parts, speakers, IR leds, and finding a battery source. Ill scan my concept design for you guys later. Doing this mod as had its up and downs, ive thought i lost my wii so many times, i eve blew a breaker in my house form testing. But seeing this screen turn on and show video makes me giddy. What do you guys think?

Screen itself


Wii (notice the cd drive is different and the heat sink is folded down for more room)


Wii slot (might leave with final design)


Screen with picture


Screen up close


Screen next to a ruler


a REALLY rouch mock up case design note the ROUGH!





The only thing keeping me form finshing this thing is i have to wire up a Liner Audio amp and its give me alot of trouble and i would love if you guys could help me out
Here is the amp

I have a 10k POT auido slide looks kinda like this but its a double gang

and this is the list of the pin out of the wii
1 Left
2 Right
3 Video
4 +5VDC
5 Ground
6 Ground

Can anyone write a step by step guide for me? that would be the nicest thing anyone online has ever done for me. Thank you

thats all for now, ill have more pics when im completely done showing all of my steps, whadda think?

thats coming along smashingly

[TheMainLoki]

ya im going to make my own case for it so itll look amazinger (if thats a word) but first can anyone help me wire the amp up?

u could neraly use the amplifier from like a broken lcd tc or something they usually arent that big,unfortuantely i'm still in the process of learning bout electronics so i'm not that expereienced and i can't help u with the amp stuff,but ur mod is looking really clean,it'd be cool if u de-branded the screen and put the wii logo there or like ur name in the nintendo logo or something

The Wii with the window and etched thing looks terrible, But a nice Custom case could sort that.

[TheMainLoki]

like i said guess this was a mockup case, the final product will be my own custom case that i will make with a CNC mill

i need the motor thats connected using 4 wires...the wires are right near where you install a chip.
if you still have this motor with the worm shaft still i will gladly buy it from you!worst case i buy the rest of the drive too xD

[Tri-edge]

well once i get this freaking amp working (cant figure out the wiring) then all i really need to do is make my case.

I am using the same drive i just changed it in a way, no metal grid on top.

yes it will be about to hook up to a reg tv, and i can also use the screen with other things. like i can hook my dvd player up to it.

[TheMainLoki]
