    Hardware Absolute fix to 160-1400 error

    Coming back with some news about the HDMI port filters It seems that technology has advanced and TVs have become more picky about HDMI devices sticking to the spec, otherwise they will do weird stuff Back when i replaced the HDMI filters marked as CM7 and CM8 with direct lines, it seems the TV...

    Hardware Absolute fix to 160-1400 error

    it's been 4 years since i did the modification and it doesn't seem to have any side effects at leaving just the wires, Wii U still turned on without the error after fixing the display filters too

    Hardware Absolute fix to 160-1400 error

    as i mentioned to MegaDeKay, the gamepad error is completely unrelated to the display fix, since the fix was in the console and the one giving the error now is the Gamepad only, i just felt the need to mention because the Wii U as a whole feels like an endless source of electronic problems

    Hardware Absolute fix to 160-1400 error

    I guess it can work by completely disabling the drive through the usage of a hardmod, as you mentioned in your post, for completely hopeless consoles People just need to be aware that it also requires soldering and more materials than a simple piece of wire

    Hardware Absolute fix to 160-1400 error

    nope, they are a 4 line model instead of a 2 line model i mean, i guess maybe lining 2 up of the 2 line model could work? but what i did was take out the filter and solder direct lines anyways

    Hardware Absolute fix to 160-1400 error

    i can see some heat damage on the electrolytic cap and the drive connector, let's hope it isn't anything too bad it may be just me, but it looks like some pads aren't properly soldered, can you measure continuity between the following points?

    Post pics of how you did the soldering to replace the CM9/CM10 components? After soldering them did you made sure they worked fine with a multimeter? the only continuity you should get is between the parallel lines, anything else is a short

    Hardware Absolute fix to 160-1400 error

    There is a closeup photo of the bridged wire in my main post, the third photo to be more precise The filters have 4 pins, and are basically 2 filters in 1 package, what you need to do is remove the filter, and put 2 bridges to complete the lines per filter, basically replacing the filter with...

    and even if it were, it doesn't does what the DCMA claims it does, it says it circumvents Nintendo's security measures, which it doesn't freeshop downloads encrypted files and just instructs the 3DS to decrypt them the only thing that's holding ground in the claim is the logo copyright

    being used to ill purposes doesn't make the app inherently bad using your analogies, is like saying are guns are bad, all guns are evil, even though policemen use them to protect people you argue that eshop already does the same, but im gonna argue that i would use freeshop to redownload my...
