Wii-U NAND-AID - eMMC Recovery and Replacement Interposer Public Test

[Razor83]

After reading SDIO's feedback about the installation difficulties his colleague had, it got me wondering if there might perhaps be another way of making the PCB still fit in the tight space constraints whilst also easing installation, and I came up with some suggestions which might help.

-Expand the board to use the extra space slightly to the left and down from the eMMC resistors, then group or 'double row' the soldering points so that they are more easily accessible away from the large motherboard inductor (L1003).

-Use a shorter microSD slot such as the one used for the GameCube SD2SP2 project, which uses a Molex 105027-0001

-Use the now free extra space to the right to re-orient the microSD slot 90degrees, so that the edge of an inserted memory card 'hovers' over the nearby Wii U motherboard components.

-With the microSD slot re-oriented it should be possible to make the top of the PCB shorter and avoid the need to remove the C655 capacitor (If present).

-A large plated half-hole/castellated hole on the edge of the board (Where the large covered via is presently) could provide anchorage and a ground point to one side of C655, but with the micro SD slot re-oriented this should now be easily accessible with the slot already installed.

I made a terrible mockup picture so you can more easily visualize the changes, the red line denotes the board outline.

Hello everyone,

Firstly, I'd like to express my gratitude and say a big thank you for all the great work on making this tool to help fix all of these failing Wii Us. Your efforts are truly appreciated.

I am reaching out today because I am looking for someone who can help me with repairing my friend's Wii U. I don't need it to be fully operational; it just needs to be functional enough to extract the otp.bin and the seeprom.bin files so I can decrypt and recover save files from a USB drive formatted by this Wii U. I am willing to pay for this service, as I understand that it requires specialized skills and components.

Ideally, I would prefer someone based in the US to work on this for me because of the cost of shipping, and I feel iffy about international shipping right now.

I have also reached out to a repair shop to see if they can handle this type of repair, but I haven't received a response yet. If you are able to assist me with this, please let me know.

Thank you.

You need someone to install de_fuse for you. If you can't find someone in USA and you are not in a hurry, send me a message.
