Hardware Changing Wii U motherboard

[Punch15]

If I were to change my AUS gamepad motherboard to a US motherboard would it change the region(kinda sounds like a dumb question)

Buy a gamepad that match with your console region.

Of course. The region is in the gamepad firmware, which is why the error message appears when it tries to update the gamepad firmware, since the region it tries to install doesn't match what's already in the gamepad. Possible to flash a new firmware to change the region but no one's figured out how to interface with the gamepad to flash a firmware yet AFAIK.

I thought you already found one since you were asking
If you can't find a mainboard on eBay, your best bet is getting a broken one with a good mainboard, like one with a smashed screen, faulty sticks or buttons, but sometimes you get shafted with those and end up with other faults that the description didn't mention.
