So a quite few months ago i dug up my wii u i went to turn it on it worked fine but i couldnt find my controllers so i never played. Recently i found the controllers and went to play but when i pressed the power button it was just a flashing blue light i talked to someone and he said it could be slc corruption or bad ram and told me id need to defuse it and thats the problem i have no clue what that is i just read a ton of stuff about and am still confused i dont get what it is or how it will solve my problem can someone please explain it to me in the most dumbed down way.

This sounbds a lot like this:

Or this:

You don't need to desolder anything. You just need to wire up a respberry pi pico like this: https://github.com/shinyquagsire23/wii_u_modchip/tree/main/pico_defuse

I recommend using magnet wire, to not put stress on the pads and also taging the wires down with something like capton tape.
Also I got GND from one of the structual joints for the USB ports (instead of thatr pad) and made sure that that is the shortest wire, so it acts like a stress relief.
Also don't hook up the 3V3. The Pico will be powered by the PC.
