Good day, members of GBATemp. Recently I installed HaxChi onto my Wii U (avoided CBHC, I don't want to risk it), everything works smoothly, no problems whatsoever. I recently noticed two things on my gamepad:

1) some minor backlight bleeding (nothing to worry about from what I read)
2) THIS small blue-ish blotch that appears only on a black screen

What exactly is it? I already asked on the wiiu subbredit, getting only one reply: that it's cancer, spreading and eventually destroying my gamepad. Well, way to make me paranoid. So, the gamepad works flawlessly, it appears only on a black screen (like LoZ BotW when not using the gamepad), it's only this one spot, around center-right. Tried running Jscreenfix and left it for 20 minutes, to no avail.

My question is: is it really what that Reddit user stated, or is it something else? Also, does anyone else have this issue and are there any measures to prevent the spreading of it (in case if it really does spread).

I appreciate any sort of reply. Thanks in advance!

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
