    [Seeking help] Power mod flashing red

    The solid red was a red herring... i pressed power and it did nothing. I'll check the converters, thank you for the diagram 1707376158 So this is going to seem insane, but I checked the resistances and voltages of the 3.5 and 15v "when adapter in" sections by connecting to ground and other...

    [Seeking help] Power mod flashing red

    So I did two things: One, realise I didn't need to keep the dvd drive connected in order to check red light, so that was removed, and two, started measuring the resistances of the little black 5/6 pin chips (presuming they are the buck converters), and some of the resistances were in the kOhms...

    [Seeking help] Power mod flashing red

    Thank you everyone for your assistance. I've tried a few things so far: removing both the two-wire, and the usb-bridge connection. I have tried flux and heat (330°C) on all pins to ensure good connection and cleaned with iso and a firm brush to move away any loose particulate, followed up with a...

    [Seeking help] Power mod flashing red

    Thanks for replying! I have reversed pretty much everything, and no dice. The good news is that if the Wii U is left unpowered for a time, and then plugged in, the red standby light will stay solid for a time, but eventually it will start flashing again. I'm using a good quality Weller-branded...

    [Seeking help] Power mod flashing red

    Hello all! I was working on a client's Wii U where they asked me to modify it with the "Unlimited 5v mod" for the rear usb cables. The request was to follow this setup, where the positive terminal of the tantalum capacitor was connected to the two smd capacitors. Link to images I did this, and...

    ROM Hack DEAD Pokemon Sacred Sword & King's Shield

    I have to say, thank you so much for this. I played the romhack with only the trainer/gym changes. I'm sure anyone who has played competitively would know that once you begin to learn mechanics, games get significantly easier. The Generation of kids who grew up with pokemon are no longer the...

    Very true. I hope the community doesn't start lighting torches and thrusting pitchforks in iAqua's general direction

    Homebrew Anime is so powerful it can hack Wii U's.

    As much as I understand your (and mine too) frustration, depending on iAqua's thought processes, it might be that they want Quark to release the exploit. By showing it works in concept means that Quark, who appears to be busy with assignments etc, isn't chasing smoke. It means when he comes back...

    Hacking [Question][Some sorrow in my soul] Someway to run a CFW in a Wii U 5.3.0 U?

    As Felek666 said, your best bet is to get one of the update games (botw or captain toad). In saying that, yes the game is expensive, but does Brazil have a return policy? You could buy the game, update, and return it and receive your money back.

    Hardware New 3DS setup - Pre-modding

    Thanks, you've been pretty fantastic (and quick). Last question. All the stuff on my O3DS' SD card, (I had a micro inserted into an adapter); Should I just start fresh with a new microSD for the N3DS, or is it plausible to use the old one?

    Hardware New 3DS setup - Pre-modding

    Sweeeeeeet So I presume I'm just following the guide? How would I make a NAND backup without hardmodding? I know how to do it hard, since that was my 11.0 O3DS's only option to downgrade, but not any other way.

    Hardware New 3DS setup - Pre-modding

    Greetings ladies and gentlemen! After ruining my O3DS in an attempt to hardmod (as some of you may know), i've bought myself a new 3DS, running version 9.0.0 As eager as I am to get started onto Arm9LoaderHax, i'm hesitant for a few reasons (beyond "brand new shiny thing, must keep pristine")...

    Hardware Possibly bricked console after removing hardmod

    Yeah, fair enough. But i'm pretty impatient. So, long story short. I have a NAND backup, but a bricked 3DS. I've replaced the trace and circle pad for DAT0 with silver, and i'm still getting the same "00F800FE 0*8 0*8 00000200" error. Is there something else i've missed? My SD card adapter...

    Hardware Possibly bricked console after removing hardmod

    So I bought some liquid silver to bridge the broken connection, but i'm still stuck with the same error as before. I don't see any shorts or bridging between CLK or CMD and DAT0, so i'm at a standstill. Any ideas?

    Hardware Possibly bricked console after removing hardmod

    Will I be able to reconnect that to the little chip above the circle? I keep getting the "00f800fe 00000000 00000000 00000200" Error code, which is apparently the SD card error (according to homebrew) whenever I boot up, which is almost instant. I'm not an amazing solder, but I don't think it's...

    Hardware Possibly bricked console after removing hardmod

    Can i hijack this thread? I hardmodded my 3ds XL, after having major issues with my father's soldering iron (accidentally removed DAT0 gold pad thing), and went out and bought a new one (much nicer, NAND dump worked, i believe, successfully 4 times). When I opened my 3DS again to remove the...
