Hey,

I got a Wii U - Console only, but i own a few more - which is faulty. When i boot it it wants to factory reset. But nothing happens. Switching it off and on, it wants again to delete everything...

Also it is not possible to sync any controller.

Is it a brick or is it possible to get it to work.

Thank you all.

First: process doesnt end....
Second: there is no gamepad
Third: ut is not possible to sync any kind of controller!!!

There is nothing i can do only power it up and shut it down!

Is there a way to flash it again?

Wait...
There's no Gamepad... right.
Nope, you cannot get past this without a Gamepad at the moment. Sorry.

Yeah, i have gamepads from other wii us, but it impossible to sync them.
To sync them they want me to press some symbols matching them shiwing on the tv screen, but there is only the factory reset screen...

Any ideas?
Hardmod?
Power+eject to flash again? - but where to find image?

Oh... so they formatted the console and you bought it like that...
Nope, there's no solution AFAK. It should be hardmod, but you don't have the NAND backup I pressume.

Some News here:

While booting, it is possible to sync a controller.
But when the automatic deleting program starts, sync is gone again.

It is not possible to sync a tablet. I tried the original pro controller.

But still the same.

I believe after one hour, the u shuts down.
But after booting it up again, erasing starts again...

    @RedColoredStars, but what is the game about?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, Never heard of it. Any good?
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    You control a kitten. You fall out the window and have to make your way back home. Solve some light puzzles, do cat things like knock stuff over and steal things, trip people up when theyre walking, pounce on birds, complete goals/tasks etc. in the process of getting back to your home.

    @RedColoredStars, I'm a cat person so this game must be for me. :D
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @RedColoredStars, sounds kinda neat
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @SylverReZ It's short but adorable imo. Im a HUGE cat lover.Can be completed in a couple of hours if just going for the main goals. But can be stretched out a good deal by exploring and doing everything there is to do and see.

    So a man goes to the doctor because his boner wont go down. As he is laying in the hospital bed, with his thing propped up in the air, a fly is flying around and landing on the tip and bothering him, so he calls in the nurse. The nurse comes in, swats at the fly but can't quite reach it, so she climbs his boner to get better aim. After a few tries of swatting and sliding back down, she says sorry I cant get it. He says keep going, a few more tries, and I can shoot the fly down.
