Homebrew WiiU -5 Error

[Beaps]

Hi all

Switched on my WiiU today and when to load the Homebrew Laucher as per norm and I keep get a black sceen shortly after with -5 in the top left.

I'm still on 5.2.2 and I blocked the DNS.

Any ideas?

Are you running cfw? And if so try reinstalling homebrew launcher

are you using cbhc? if so make sure you still have the homebrew launcher in /WiiU/Apps/

-5 is that it cannot find a file on your SD check your SD card is setup correctly.

don't follow youtube. there's probably something wrong with your sd card or the mocha app is in the wrong folder.

What should I do to bring my wii u back to life again, any advice pleaseeee ?

check your sd card for corruption and change autobooting to sysnand. push home when it says autobooting, then change autoboot to sysnand.

try a different SD card.

I use a micro SD card in an adapter on my Wiiu and every now and then it spits out -3. Removing the adapter and the card and wiping the contacts and putting it back in the wiiu always solves my issue. One day i'll get a decent adapter. Also if you end up formatting your card, you should try the SD card formatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ . Also I believe there was another tool to properly format a card after it has crashed, but I can't recall the name right now. Maybe someone else will ?

Tried to change autoboot as you said but nothing happen , still the same. Any more ideas please ?
