I also changed my Gamecube Laser...the gamecube is actually better than Wii, much simpler in my experience...not as so crazy as the Wii to disassemble and reassemble with all the screws and he positions they were in and all that ..ugh. I am now tackling my WiiU since recently its been cutting out in Wii mode. I checked the battery voltage its still 3Volts ..but that battery has been in there since I bought it brand new many years ago now. So I dunno. Now to tackle finishing opening that WiiU. I had got stuck...i need to remove the side plates after removing the first set of screws. I been putting it off but I am here today for guide//reference as to how to continue. Cheers for this video.

For anyone using this tutorial after me, the two screws at 42s are NOT tri-wing. They are Phillips head. You can tell from the video but I was listening while putting it back together. Aside from that great tutorial. You should've added how to clean the disc laser as it is a common issue on Wii Us. For future laser cleaners: I didn't disconnect the ribbon cable from the front panel or disc drive. Just remove the four screws surrounding disc drive and the two on top of the drive to open the top. Remove two screws mounting the white circular plastic piece and bam! clear view of the disc laser. I used rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth. Laser reads better than ever. Cheers!

Hey I've had a few disk drive problems over the last month. It started when Super Smash Bros. for Wii U would only go in after I cleaned it. Then all my Wii U games stopped working, while Wii discs did. I had a problem just happen today after testing it out. I put a disc in, tried to eject it but it stopped, so I pushed it back in. I repeated this since it happened again, and it read as a "Wii U Cleaning Disc." Puzzled, I started it and it went through a cleaning screen. Do you think this is the disk drive or the discs themselves.

The thought is very real, the intention is very real and the forward movement to actually do what one had set out to do is very real. The forward movement to complete the desired task can be halted by outside forces such as in this case the absence of a triwing screwdriver. However this does not negate his intention as his forward movement to watch this video proves. Thus he very much did wish to open his WiiU and made the forward movement to do so, but was halted by outside forces. Live long and prosper, Love Spock.

I want to know what the location is for 12 volts, preferably switched, meaning the 12 volts would be active once the device gets turned on so that my mini smt LED's would then come on. Any help at all would greatly be appreciated guys.... Regards

I'm not sure what your stance is on the ethics of Softmodding or Modding/Jailbreaking, so if you are not offended by these methods, please read further. Anyway, I'm considering Softmodding one of these for my family and I. I am worried about the issue of the hard drive's safety. The HDD has to be off or disconnected when booting up the Wii U so it doesn't get corrupted by Nintendo's firmware or the "format disk" prompt doesn't pop up and the odds are certain of accidently selecting "format" instead of "cancel". My actual question (s) is: Are you knowledgeable on how the circuitry in the Wii U operate? If it's possible to maybe locate an area that is ideal to solder a jumper to the motherboard that can trigger an inverter that operates as an "on" toggle for an external HDD (or SSD) during appropriate/safe/useful times?.. Basically: I want to find an area that could trigger an inverter/toggle a switch for my external HDD and I was thinking of using a location on the motherboard that is in use/on (hopefully exclusively) when the Wii U firmware is wanting to either format the disk or trying to (undesirably) write to it. This way I won't have to worry about my kids accidentally formatting the drive or accidentally forgetting to disconnect the USB before the firmware writes and corrupts the content. I am sorry for not thinking of a more shortened version of my question and I apologise if you don't want anything to do with the subject of Jailbreaking/Modding. I looked multiple places and couldn't find anything close to what I am asking and most search engines don't come close to the subject. It's overly convoluted, I'm sorry. If you can give any insight, I would be very grateful. Thank you for your time

We've been having problems with the power jack for a while having to wiggle the cord to get the red light to even come on. We bought a new cord, but it didn't fix anything.I can't find any place to buy a new power jack to see if that helps. I'm going to try the tear down to get a good look at the jack connection to see if it is loose or something. Any suggestions? We paid several hundred a little over a year ago and of course, it stops working properly JUST over the warranty. I can't see throwing another hundred at it to send it into Nintendo when we could invest that into a different system. :(

@KrGsMrNKusinagi0 8 жыл бұрын

did you get it fixed? sound like a power surge may of damaged it.. Was it on a power bar or plugged directly into the wall?.. Also its possible you just need a new AC brick or power supply that's bad

@MrScreamingSilence 7 жыл бұрын

Only 2 things that pop into mind: 1. The power connector on the mainboard is loose/broken and needs to be fixed 2. a different adapter than the specified one was used that fried some connections I have to admit the second option would probably cause more problems overall, so that's rather unlikely. Search on eBay for "Original OEM Nintendo Wii U charging port connector", should be $

Apparently it's the Bluetooth module but there's no way to fix that yet. But I'm gonna use its dvd drive to put it on my own wii U which doesn't read used games... Hope that's just our family who doesn't have luck with our consoles! Thx for your channel

+ThatMarioGuy1 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's not the battery. It's not something that's used as a backup power source like when you lose power or something like that. It's just used to power the console's clock, so if that stops working, then just get a new battery and it should work

Hello. I bought a wii u on Amazon, the seller said hdmi didn't work but for $120 I figured component video would be fine. But component doesn't work at anything above 480p and it flickers. The cable I bought is supposed to support hd video on the wii u. Composite video does work without a problem. Im thinking the issue is internal processing of HD video since neither hdmi nor component hd works. I've tried different TV's and different hdmi cables with the same result. Do you know if there is anything in the wii u responsible for HD video I could look at as a starting point for internal trouble shooting? Thanks n sorry so long :)

have you actually tried to upgrade it's CPU?

@Godzfirez 6 жыл бұрын

Ironically Ironic not possible. It's not a PC. You take it apart so you can upgrade the thermal paste which in turn allows the CPU/GPU to boost clock better thus giving you an upgrade in performance. Fun fact about console teardowns. They all use pads and pads suck which is why a new console works better than a used one because that pad dries up. If you know what you are doing though cleaning off the old pad surface on the CPU and heatsink and applying something like arctic silver makes a huge difference in gameplay

Wii U is a good system, fail because Nintendo false marketing, i'm a gamer since 1988 before they launch Wii U, i though Wii U are just a new accessories for Wii, because they promote Wii U as a "new controller", after PS4 and XB1 release, they finally realize their mistakes and launch a new advertising campaign calling it "brand new Nintendo console", but it's too late since most of potential Wii U customer already bough PS4 or XB1.

@ArtisChronicles 4 жыл бұрын

Well that's simple. It's a deterrent to opening up the console. They don't want people to self repair. That can potentially lose them money. So of course they make it as much of a pain as possible to open up.
