Hacking How to reprogram a Wii U?

[TeamScriptKiddies]

No offense to anyone using iFixIt just as a quick reference, but I'd say a good rule of thumb with hardware, is if you don't feel comfortable trying to fix something going in blind, it's probably best not to even mess with it at all. Of course, that's a bit of a paradox because how can you get to that point without experience? Well, try repairs on similar things that you have absolutely no investment in first. You do that a couple of times and then you find that most consoles fifth gen upwards all have about the same kind of general hardware and quirks.

Amen!

Actually looked into this IOS-side today, figured out ODD cmd structs and etc. The best bet is probably to just reprogram the drive, but IOS doesn't seem to have any code for it so i might have to bruteforce the ATAPI commands? I've got other stuff to do in the meantime but I'll mention if I eventually manage reprogram a drive key (I'm not afraid of bricking my drive or w/e too, so that helps).
