Hey Everyone,
So I just bought a refurbished wii u off of ebay. It worked fine last month when I set it up for the first time. Put my Nintendo ID on it, connected to internet, etc.
I traveled to a new home and packed it up. When I unpacked it the gamepad was on (which was weird).
I tried playing it on a different TV, and it said the TV didn't support the resolution (used an HDMI cable). I clicked the option to downscale the resolution and it seemed to work.
Then I went to open system settings and the system just stopped trying to load it after about 20 seconds.
I unplugged it and plugged it back in. It boots up, but any time I try to open an application it will stop trying to load it and just freeze.
I don't know what happened. The seller said he didn't mod it (it was factory reset when I got it) and I actually wanted to see if I could but now I don’t know if it will even work…maybe it’s bricked…but how? It literally worked last month lol.
Can someone help me?
I:
1. Took out the SD card and tried - no fix
2. Unplugged and let it wait for a few mins - no fix
3. Left it plugged in overnight but off - no fix
3. Tried booting directly to the gamepad (no HDMI plugged in) - no fix.
4. Made sure it is in an open area with good ventilation - no fix.
5. Called Nintendo but they weren’t any help lol. I think they were reading off a script…
Anything else I can try? I really want to fix this bad boy.
Thank you so much!
