Wii U won't appear on TV screen (No signal) & Gamepad cannot connect to Wii U

[TJMW]

Hello, so the Wii U turns on but there is no signal on the TV (tried multiple HDMI cables) on-top of this the gamepad (whenever I click on the various apps) says it cannot connect to the Wii U.

Disclosure: this was the 1st time turning it on in years (just to play BOTW) I attempted to go into the Nintendo store and at some point it had to do an update. Left it alone for awhile (1.5 hrs give or take) while it was on the Wii U logo screen but I turned off the Wii U believing it was frozen. This is the result of attempting to turn back on.

I appear to be in purgatory, is there any advice or help available? I'm exploring the CEMU route for PC as an option.

Am I bricked? What are my options to repair this brick if any?

Well, first off, did you hack the console? If you did hack it, did you make a NAND back-up?

If you did not hack it, what color is the power buttons light when you turn it on? Is the light blinking or is it steady?

I experienced the same today. When I turn the console on, the led turns blue and the fan inside start to run like normal. But no signal will appear on screen and GamePad doesn't connect. The console worked earlier the day and I did nothing special with it.
My console is hacked and I have a NAND back-up. So what can we do now?

Okay, while searching for solutions I found about the hard mod. This will be a lot work but I will try this if there's no other way.

same problem, did you find the solution?

Do the hardmod to reflash your backup or contact Nintendo to reset your Network ID so that you can use it on another console to access your eShop purchases.
There is no other solution.

if you forgot the email or birthdate, if you need them, you can find them in the account.dat. it will have the email or username iirc, plus birthday, but birthday is written in hex, so mine says 06 13, which equals June 19th.

Does your Wii U soft power of if you press the power button again after some time?
