Hardware Wii U broken gamepad lcd screen

[appeltje_eitje]

Hello I bought a wii u for just 20 euro it works good, only the gamepad has a broken lcd screen (touch screen works well).. So now I'm looking for an lcd sreen and I found it on aliexpress (a whole set with touch screen and screwdrivers and lcd screen for 15 euro) and I was wondering, can I do it myself easily or should I let it do, I have done ds- lite screens/buttons/top screen replacement by myself, and I found some video's on YouTube, but wonder if somebody here has done it and can tell me if it's easy or not ???

Sorry for my poor english I'm Dutch..

No reactions, but I can tell you, I ordered the replacement set and replaced the screens with the new ones and it's working now..
So I am happy with my wii u black edition 32 gb with mario kart 8 and splatoon I bought for just 35 euro's compleet now.
And I am proud that I fixed it myself, gives me a good feeling and playing together with my 8 year old son is fun.. Now I am thinking of modding the wii u too..

Good to hear, always great when you manage to repair your device successfully.
Definitely mod the Wii U, successfully modding is also satisfying.

Hi, i got a gamepad too that I got 2nd hand, small dent on the lcd but touch screen is fine. Left analog stick doesnt work properly. Was it easy to replace the screen? I plan to fix the screen and analog stick at the same time with a new pcb from ebay. Thanks

I watched the staps and wrote them step by step down and it was not easy, but not so difficult too.. https://nl.ifixit.com/Guide/Wii+U+GamePad+LCD+Display+Replacement/57152

I bought the complete set, it's not easy to replace only one screen, becouse they stick together and taking them apart can break them easily,.. when you get this 2 screens you can stick them together your self, when you take the protection off it is sticky..
