Hello, folks.
I got this Wii u brand new in 2014. I still play a lot on it, or rather, used to play until last week. I feel deeply sad about the fact it doesn't work anymore, and am at my wit's end trying to get it to work. I got a ton of controllers, games, accessories etc, this whole ordeal cost me a fortune, let me say in advance that I am fully willing to pay if someone can at least point me in the right direction here.
It has plain old Haxchi, never had CBHC. The failure happened playing local multiplayer on CoD BO2, around 30 minutes after turning on, the screen froze mid-game and no way to reset other than disconnecting power. It was well-ventilated and not particularly hot. Put the power plug in, the usual red led shows up along the eject led. Press either button, and it's just the blinking red led.
No button combination or time pressed would make a difference, neither plugging or unplugging any cable. I opened it up, cleaned absolutely everything, it was already very clean. Re-plugged everything there was to, re-applied thermal paste, visually inspected the circuit board to no finding, still the same issue.
Any ideas or suggestions would be deeply appreciated! I hope your dear Wii U's stay safe, not working isn't fun.
