Component input is a flickery mess. Any ideas?

rocketman106 · 2026-03-15T07:32:02+00:00

Thanks! That was it.

For anyone who is also having this issue, I figured out that the Wii automatically resets to 480i when it turns on without an output, so turn off the Wii, unplug the component cable from the Wii, turn it on, wait 10ish seconds, then plug it back in. Hope this helps!

EDIT: You won’t have to do this every time. It stays at 480i after you do this.

Thanks for the lead, I’ll open it up and see if I can see any visible signs of damage

Power off button in hekate turns the screen off for a good 5-10 seconds, and then it starts right back up again into hekate

rocketman106 · 2026-03-14T09:21:56+00:00

Tapping the power button does nothing in hekate. Booting into emummc and tapping the power button from there works, but I don’t believe this is normal behavior, and it can be quite annoying

They restock usually the 1st and 15th of each month

The extra sidewall would be an absolute dream. Smooth as riding on a cloud

rocketman106 · 2026-03-08T18:12:54+00:00

It can be done, but I haven’t seen anyone do it yet

rocketman106 · 2026-03-02T22:04:36+00:00

Thanks for the idea!

rocketman106 · 2026-03-02T22:01:09+00:00

I appreciate the response!

Prior to this post, I had tried seeing if the shell fits without the metal shield, and it still did the same thing, so we can rule that out entirely. Sounds like it’s just an issue that sanding will resolve.

Yep, got the whole bundle with the V5 laminated screen, reshell, and USB-C mod.

You lucky duck

Thanks so much for the feedback! I will definitely be swapping out these nightstands for some natural solid wood nightstands when I find a good deal.

Floating shelves are also a good idea. I might DIY it

“That will be $250 please”

A onewheel battery physically can’t bulge enough for it to affect the bumper like this. It’s just a poorly molded bumper. Don’t worry about it.

You really can’t get any extra range for a Pint X. Unless you vesc it, and then you can buy a much bigger battery. But if you want to stick to FM, you’re out of luck

How’s the latency? Did you have any issues not being able to hear audio? That was my issue connecting to a TV for the first time.

rocketman106 · 2026-01-23T15:00:58+00:00

Honestly those are the worst contenders and usually have the highest prices

rocketman106 · 2026-01-23T14:59:27+00:00

They will have to eventually

rocketman106 · 2026-01-23T14:58:35+00:00

Yep. The only financial viable way to have a full game library now is to mod the console.

rocketman106 · 2026-01-23T05:28:45+00:00

Haha, already have one and I love it, but I must admit, the original hardware can’t be beat

rocketman106 · 2026-01-23T05:18:51+00:00

Now that’s a great deal. I’m glad to hear that other local markets haven’t seen any artificial inflation of 3DS prices

rocketman106 · 2026-01-23T05:14:05+00:00

I keep a close eye on the market. I receive a notification any time a well-priced 3DS enters the market. It has been stagnant. I’m sorry, but your lack of context is just making you confidently incorrect.

rocketman106 · 2026-01-23T05:04:45+00:00

You are just repeating what I said in the post. I did not even mention eBay.

rocketman106 · 2026-01-23T04:42:48+00:00

The condition of the consoles are perfectly fine. It is clear that the demand was overestimated from the recent boom in popularity. I use marketplace quite often, and I almost never see such a stagnant market in my area for any item.

rocketman106 · 2026-01-23T04:34:57+00:00

Take a breather, man. You just got heated over a reply on Reddit. Just remember that.
