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.......

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
