[benefits]

Hello, I have a bricked Wii U. When I disassembled it I found that the TP53 solder point has been torn off! are there any alternative solder points to get De_fuse working?
any suggestions are appreciated.

You have a few options, but they're all vias.

You have that via right next to the TP:

That via on the other side of the board:

And this via under the SoC:

You only need to use one of these.

I appreciate the help! Unfortunately my Wii U differs from the one shown in the pictures. the vias on the motherboard don't match the pictures you provided. the Wii U i'm fixing is a WUP-10.

...WUP-10? could you post pics? though if its not a WUP-50, it'll be identical.

Is this a rare motherboard layout? Or something new entirely?

i have never seen this board before. must be stupidly uncommon. its similar to the WUP-50, where it uses the B1X SoC.

Could you get pics of the SoC markings? ill get your alternate vias in the meantime

Sure, this is the clearest picture I could get.

here are your options for this board:

Though I have another question to ask, would you be willing to sell the board?
