My gamepad for the WiiU Deluxe (The 32GB black one) got a cracked screen when a sibling dropped it onto hard ground...
Right now, the entire gamepad works fine as a controller (even the touchscreen registers touch), but the screen is so cracked that the image is just a field of white with colored lines all over it.
After doing some research, I still haven't found the best way to repair it. I was able to find "digitizers" on ebay, but I can't tell if those are entire screen replacements or not. Also, I'm fine with tearing open the gamepad to make the replacement, but not with a product that is unreliable. Third party screens are fine, but only if someone can back how well they work compared to the real thing.
TL;DR
Essentially, has anyone else had experience buying and repairing a cracked gamepad screen that can help me out?
