Why do you need that many Wii Us? They'd only work if you've got the gamepads for them.

I don't need them. But I want to fix them and gift them to friends. I actually have the gamepads and they are working. Only the console is not playing nice

Well the first step is to check if the two broken consoles power on. If not, then it's possible the eMMC has already died. That's my guess because it's a very common problem now with these Wii Us that don't work.
Probably make a thread here: https://gbatemp.net/forums/nintendo-wii-u.245/

Thank you. I already explained my problem in the thread on how to install isfshax. I can't get into the minute menu no matter what I try
It depends on the condition. I bought 2 broken Wii U for 17 Euro each in hope of fixing them. Got a step closer but now I'm hitting another wall.
I scored a working unit for 10 Euro once, the seller thought it wasn't working.
Fully working Wii U are going for around 40 to 120 Euro in my area (germany) but it also depends on the accessories (working gamepad, genuine AC cable, games)
