DESCRIPTION

The Nintendo Wii: USB-C Kit is a board that allows you to replace the original power connector with a modern and standard USB-C port.

If your original connector or power supply is too old or damaged and you need a new one, or if you would like to power your Nintendo Wii with a standard USB-C PD charger, such as the charger for your phone or laptop, you can do so with this kit. This board is compatible with the following three models:

Nintendo Wii
Nintendo Wii Mini
Nintendo Wii U

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The USB-C Power Delivery technology (USB-C PD) allows for communication between the device and the power supply(charger), enabling the negotiation of the voltage to be supplied through the USB-C cable. In this case, the microchip included on this board is configured to request 12V or 15V(1), signaling to the charger that it requires 12V or 15V(1) to run on. If the charger is compatible, it will supply the requested voltage. If it’s not compatible, nothing will happen, and the Nintendo Wii won’t power on.

(1) The circuit has a selection jumper; if you solder it in one position, the circuit will require 12V, and if you solder it in the other position, it will require 15V from the power supply.

FEATURES

Similar size to the original connector.
External power through USB-C.

INCLUDED

1 USB-C board.
1 right-angle 2-pin header for Wii and Wii Mini
1 straight-angle 2-pin header for Wii U.
1 Plastic cap for the USB-C board (in black color)

REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED)

Tri-wing and Phillips screwdrivers
Soldering iron.
Tin.
Flux.
Desoldering pump.
Isopropyl alcohol.

NOTES

The Nintendo Wii and Wii Mini run on 12V and 3.5A, while the Nintendo Wii U runs on 15V and 5A.

Make sure your power supply with Power Delivery (PD) can provide the necessary voltage for your console model. Also, ensure that the supplied current is equal to or as close as possible to the amount required by the console.

The console's disc reader consumes a significant amount of current, around 1.9A. So, if you don’t plan to use it for loading games, this can reduce the power requirements and allow you to use a power supply with lower specifications.

All tests were conducted with the same power supply used for the GameCube kit, providing 12V or 15V and 3A:

Ikea SJÖSS 45W 12V 3A, 13€

You will also need a USB-C to USB-C cable for PD. If you don’t have one, these will work:

Please replace the XXXX with your tracking number.

For customer from the USA, Canada:

In some countries, the destination postal company does not update the tracking information at every step during the shipment. It is common that they do not mark it as delivered, even if you have received it. In case of any issue, we as senders can open an inquiry to check the actual status of the shipment if needed.

Notes for USA:

The shipments in this country are managed by the United States Postal Service. If you wish, you can contact them at your local post office and inquire about your package.

If you are not at home during the first delivery attempt, they may not notify you with a notification paper or phone call. Your package could end up sitting in your local postal office for weeks and, ultimately, be returned to me if nobody claims it. It sounds incredible, but it seems that the postal service in some states of the United States is very unreliable. Please be alert about your order.

Customs, duties, and taxes

European customers must need to pay the VAT in the payment progress. Non-European customers may need to pay it for picking up the package. This depends on the maximum value of imported goods for you country.

The giltesa’s shop is not responsible for any customs and taxes applied to your order. All fees imposed during or after shipping are the responsibility of the customer (tariffs, taxes, etc.). Damages

If you see that the package arrives damaged, please take photos before opening it.

Whether the package is damaged or not, please test the products are working properly as soon as possible. In general, the products can be tested without installing them. Check the Returns Polity for more details.
