Welcome to my website!
All homemade Component cable for the Wii without touching the
original. Time 1Hr and easy if you have the parts
Lets get started!
Tools
- Pair of needle nose pliers
- Soldering iron & Solder
- Scissors
- Razor
- Glue Gun or Epoxy or shrink tube
Material
- Some old Component cables any will do
(will need 3 leads for video or 5 for video/audio).
- A 1/8 stereo jack ( I used this because i
got PC speakers).
- Notebook HDD adaptor (I took mine of a
older broken 1500c Compaq) I saw one awhile go but. don't remember where. ITS NOT A 2.5>>>3.5 adaptor.
- Thin wire (mine came from the donor
notebook speaker wire.
- Last you'll need metal leads ( used the
clippings from some old LEDs).
Step one, cut the HDD adaptor so that it fits into the AV
port of the Wii. trim it down just until it fits snugly and make
sure the pins line up on both the Wii output and and the adaptor.

This
is the cut version ( each adaptor is enough for 2)
Step2, get the wire and leads ready to plug in. Make them as log
as you want( wire), but careful with the lead because if its to long
it will damage the adaptor (pop through). Mine were about 5mm long with only 4mm going
into the adaptor. Bend one lead to use for shorting 8 & 10. TIP
solder first then cut to length.

Step3, once your done cutting, its time to plug in the
leads into the adaptor as the chart
below shows
I got the chart from
www.tdficq.com
and they have lots of additional information if you needed it.

Step4, Connect the leads DO the video first, make sure that the
orientation is correct. Then attach 3 additional to slots 1,2,4or5
for audio.

Step5, solder the wires to the hacked component cables (I used
audio rca cable) and then test it out. you might have to switch
cables if you get anything mixed up. If you get a blue or green or
red tint you either shorted some wires or have an incorrect
connection. For audio I used a 1/8 jack so that i can hook it up to
my pc speakers. You can as easily hook up another 2 rca cable for
audio.

Last Step, Use epoxy or hot glue to hold everything together. If
you don't its not going to last long...
ENJOY
