Heya!

I got a bricked WiiU a friend of mine bricked a few years ago.
He found the bricked console when he moved into a new apartmend and gave it to me for free.

Do any of you guys know if it's possible to unbrick the device?
I'm actually not sure what's wrong with the system. When I turn it on, the Power LED is Blue (as it normally is) but the TV stays black with both the HDMI Output and the AV Output.
Unfortunately nothing has been dumped or were secured (seeprom, otp, etc).

Anyone who has some experience with that?

If it is a CBHC Brick you just have to simply change the startup title back to the Wii U menu in the recovery_menu.

If it's not a CBHC brick ...... for example if someone was stupid enough to mess around with the system nand files then it would make the most sense to install a backup via wupserver.......

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    That's what kind of bothers me. People asking the same question from decades ago. It's like a cycle going round and round. If they can't be arsed to search something so simple and easy to identify, then I can't think for words.
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    the problem is, it is a regular chat channel, discord had forum channels for quite a while now, but the server doesn't have any
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I literally joined expecting to find something specific because their troubleshooting and faq pages are lacking a lot of information

  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    but since they don't have forums it is kinda hard, a lot of messages are either outdated or related to other conversations

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Oof. That's not looking good. Would be good if they at least put some FAQ & troubleshooting pages up; rather than ask somebody who clearly knows very little about the subject.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Outdated stuff that involves hardware modifications is always a bad idea.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I literally only have 500 mb left on my ssd
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, I was specifically looking for more information about the wifi firmware while running ubuntu, their faq is extremely vague on that
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    @kijetesantakalu042 delete your hentai folder
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @NinStar I store that on google drive. Not my hard drive
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I once had a shared folder on google drive, one of the collaborators was putting porn on it with the file names and extensions all changed to avoid suspicion
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    took me a while to realize
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I have it on a shared folder so the other person will be blamed if someone finds out
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @kijetesantakalu042, Just don't store it on Google Drive, ok? Put it in your MEGA folder.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I don't use meganx
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @kijetesantakalu042, I use MEGA, has a lot more storage compared to what Google offers.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    Honestly I just want a bigger ssd or extra hard drive
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @kijetesantakalu042, Have something larger like a 1TB SSD, it's about enough for mostly everything you need.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I just have a 512 gb and I'm saving for my computer build when I finally have more space so I can't really invest in a ssd
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I only really use my ssd for things I'm constantly accessing on my computer
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    everything else goes to my hdd
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I only have an ssd
