[FS] Zune 30 Black With Cable- $75 plus shipping- US only

Hello everyone,
For sale is my black Zune 30. I have completely rebuilt this Zune 30 and reflashed the Zune OS. It’s in tested working condition, running version 3.3 of the Zune software. There are no songs preloaded. I can add any of the stock backgrounds if you would like any particular one. The battery is original and it works, though battery life is untested. I will also include the oem Zune sync cable with this Zune 30.

Physically it’s not in the best shape, and I’d describe it as average, with plenty of scratches and wear and tear, but it’s not terrible by any means. I gave some nooks and crannies a cleaning as I was rebuilding it as well.

Internally I replaced the metal plate behind the buttons as the original one was dented which made the buttons feel bad, but now they feel wonderful! Everything else seems to be working.

Price is $75, and does not include shipping. Shipping is to the US only. Please dm me if you are interested.

Japanese Game Video Mode Compatibility With US Wii

I just bought a Japanese copy of Mario Galaxy 2. I have a Black US Wii that I have modded with Priiloader to be region free. While the game loads fine in the Disc Channel, when I start the game it immediately gives me a green screen.

Based on this, I think the region free patch is working, but there is likely something amiss with my video setup. I am currently using an OEM RVL-011 Component cable on my Wii with it set to 480p. I also tried with it set to 480i and got the same issue. Does anyone know what the issue is that is preventing me from being able to actually play it?

[ISO] Zune 30 Motherboard / Charging Port and Someone Who Can Solder It

Hello everyone,
I just bought a White Zune 30 with an exterior in excellent shape, but when I went to plug it in I realised that the charging port is broken (the little part in the middle has snapped off) and thus it won’t charge and needs a new charging port. However, I looked online and found that a new motherboard was $70, which feels like extortion. A new charging port is $20, but I do not know how to solder.

Thus I am asking the Zune community for help. Does anyone have a parts Zune they would like to give/sell to me to replace the motherboard? I’m looking to get one for cheaper than I could buy another untested Zune for (which is about $30-$40).

Additionally, if anyone can solder on a new charging port onto the existing motherboard, I’d be willing to ship it out to you (provided you’re in the US) and pay you to solder it, as long as your price is reasonable.

My third option is if anyone would like a White Zune 30 shell in excellent condition, I’d be willing to sell the shell off and make this Zune be a parts unit. Please lmk if you are interested.

If there’s another option I didn’t think if please comment and tell me! Otherwise I hope someone can help me bring this Zune back to life, or put its parts to good use.
