6 Ways to Fix your Faulty Nintendo Wii U Touch Screen

Рет қаралды 305,116

Күн бұрын

Hi, this video shows you 6 things that may fix a Wii U touch screen which is not working or is not calibrated properly.
I have listed the 6 ways below so you can see the time that each part starts:
0:37 - STEP 1 - Place the Wii U away from interference.
2:18 - STEP 2 - Reset the Analogue Sticks.
3:22 - STEP 3 - Remove the Screen Protector.
3:49 - STEP 4 - Remove Debris from the edge of the screen.
6:40 - STEP 5 - Calibrate the Wii U Gamepad touch screen.
8:51 - STEP 6 - Reboot your Nintendo Wii U Console.
Hopefully one of the steps above will fix the problem. You do not have to do them in order as shown above, for example don't remove the screen protector (if you have one) until you have done some of the easy steps in case resetting the analogue sticks or removing interference fixes the problem.
Many thanks Vince

The dusting/cleaning around the screen edges WORKED!!! We were sure it wouldn't, because the problem seemed to be with many buttons as well as the screen. Hooray!! Thank you!

A rubber pry tool and a sonicare toothbrush just worked for me. Had a lot of grime built up. I used the rubber pry tool to create slight uplift on the shell from the screen, and then used the sonicare. Took a bit of guess and check, but I eventually found the problem spot and it works like new now. Thanks!

Hi, if the screen is not responsive on some parts of the screen, and I wanted to fix/replace the screen, would it be the "digitizer" screen, or the LCD screen that would be faulty? These things are sold separately on Ebay and Ali-Express, not sure which one I should get, or even both to fix the problem. Thank you

Unfortunately, the Wii U i just purchased from someone on marketplace has an analog stick issue. For example, when you turn the console on, it's as if someone is holding the right analog stick up and to the right. If you perform the reset (holding down a, b, plus, and minus) they then work normally as they should, however, each time I turn the console on it goes right back to having that problem again. At my wits end. I have attempted to clean the area with compressed air to no avail. Why would it work fine after doing the reset, but revert back to the same problem every time a new reboot occurs?

I decided to boot up Smash for the Wii U and my game pad was perfect. It seems that it only doesn’t work in the menu, any advice?
