Hello, I recently purchased a used Wii U. The seller did not inform me, but the SD card reader is damaged. During the unlock process, I tried in every way to make the console read the card, but in the end, my suspicion was true and the problem really is the card reader.

After searching, I found the spare part for a very low price. But I have not found anywhere a specific guide to soldering the Wii U SD slot.

Is it the same soldering process as an ordinary SD reader? Does it require any special care?

This video was the most specific and well filmed that I found:



Following his footsteps, will that be how I solve my problem?

Sorry for my bad english

Well, I opened the console and removed the metal cover from the card reader. Everything seemed normal, only two connectors were looking "crooked", I picked up a needle and gently adjusted their direction, but nothing changed. The console recognizes the card but does not read it.

I already formatted in fat32 in 32 and 64. I have two cards, a 2gb SD that came in my 3DS and a 16gb HC microsd. Both recognize on the computer, both give the same error in the console.

I already bought a replacement part, but would anyone have any other hypothesis of what could be the problem?

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.

    @BakerMan, yeah that's about the only reason I would vote for Trump over Biden.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In my opinion on all other factors they are pretty much the same.
