Hi,
A friend of mine gave me a non working WiiU. The Gamepad is OK but the WiiU has the "Blue Light Of Death".
I opened the console and found nothing weird in it. After a few research, i came to the conclusion that the console is not repairable.
I tried the gamepad on my WiiU and it's working perfectly.
A few weeks after I managed to find a standalone WiiU for a few €. The guy who sold it to me said he didn't know wether it's working or not.
When I plug the console,everything seems normal. I get the WiiU dashboard.
When I try to pair the gamepad, I get the 4 symbols, and the I get the image that the console and the gamepad are seeing each other, then thhe console says the gamepad is paired, but the gamepad doesn't .
If I switch off the console and the gamepad and try to start the console with the gamepad power button, I can start the console (and when I switch on the console, the gamepad switches on), but still impossible to make the gamepad work (connection to console failed).
After a few times I managed to pair the controller. It worked a few seconds and the I lost the connection.
I tried with my gamepad and the problem is exactly the same.
So the problem doesn't come from the gamepad, it comes from the console.
I decided to change the Wireless module with the ones of the dead console. As I don't know which module causes the issue, I swapped the 3 modules. After this operation the issue is exactly the same. I managed to get a connexion 1 or 2 times but the the image on the gamepad gets weird I I loose the connection.
I tried many things I found on the net, but nothing seems to solve the problem.
What do you think is happening ? It would be strange that the wireless modules of both consoles are dead...
Can it be a software issue ? Or another component of the console that is faulty ?
I tried to pair a wii remote, it works perfectly.
The problem is exactly the same wether the gamepad is close or not to the console.
Thank you in advance for your help
