I've been trying to bring back a Wii U from the dead. It stays in solid blue light, holding power won't turn it off, I can only turn it off by removing the power cable. UDPIH won't boot, so I decided to give de_fuse a try. I've soldered it in place, kept wires as short as possible, double checked everything, then checked again for good measure, but whenever I try to boot it up, the light quickly flickers between blue and purple and then stays in purple, the output is as follows:

(Yeah the glitched character included)
At this point, I can turn off by holding the power button for 4 seconds, but when attempting to boot the same thing happens again. What could be wrong with it? I couldn't find anything about this specific error, I don't even get the "Winner!" message
 
The soldering is fine, since defuse is successful and it starts executing the boot1. The pico interprets the data it gets from boot1 as ascii (but it should just print it as hex, it does that sometimes), that makes it hard to figure out where exactly it fails. Can you try again and see if you can get the hex output?
