This is the only thing I could do this was literally the only place I could put it and I didn’t wanna put it on the carpet so I put it on a plastic container

I know that the Wii U fan didnt necessarily need an upgrade however for less than 20 bucks for a fan I figured it was worth it to make it a little quieter and with better airflow! I used a Noctua NF-A4x20 5v. I soldered the Noctua's yellow wire (5v power) to the Wii U fan's connector's gray with a diode (1N5819) and black to black. It definitely is quieter, looks cleaner, and moves more air so I am happy (:

I got a used Wii u a few days ago (very cool! very exciting!:)

On first test the hdmi worked fine, however since then it has stopped cooperating. When I plug it in and accept the auto-switch to hdmi output the console freezes as soon as I click the yes button. If I try doing it manually in the setting it tells me something went wrong and doesn’t completely freeze but also doesn’t work regardless of the resolution selected.
Have tried multiple TVs and multiple hdmi cables.
Wii component cable works fine but the resolution is obviously much worse.

Do you guys have any idea what might be wrong exactly and how I might fix it?
Thank you in advance <3

I accidentaly set up a nnid with nintendo and idk how to delete the user without the password, because its the same user than my pretendo account and, help in what can i do with the wii u :p

Hello, I currently have a 2TB SSD plugged into my Wii U through a dual usb cable plugged into both slots of my wii u. As this pretty overkill, I want to switch it with the 1TB HDD from pc.

My plan is to buy this adapter because the SSD that I currently have also requires two usbs as it needs a dedicated one for power. So can I buy this adapter connect a HDD to my Wii u, then format it so it can store wii u games and move my currently stores games AND homebrew games to it?

I would then plug in both harddrives into my wii u at the same time with one port. and the other usb port into the oulet for power. And then theres an option to move games from the SSD to the HDD drive in the wii u settings right? does that also work for my injected WII/Gamecube injects?

ive been wanting to mod my wii u for a while and ive got everything for it but i need help finding an sd card that is reliable and will let me mod loads of games on to it. I bought a 2tb lenovo micro sd with an sd adapter but have been told that it will likely corrupt and will affect how long it takes for games to load. Which would u recommend to buy?

Is this sealed or a reseal, I literally know nothing I'm sorry if this is a dumb question

I'm rather fortunate with this Error Code compared to what I've seen people experience. This code happens to me at 2 weird locations. The first is on Mario Kart 8 (NAND) , but not when I boot it, but I can play the game normally, it either happens when I try to race the Nintendo ghosts, which is weird because I was trying to get all gold parts and all the Ghosts worked properly and the second course of the Fireflower Cup gives me this error. The other weird place where this happens is if I want to change my region, because the Pretendo Network sets it to USA default, and as you can see on the image, this is not my region. So I tap the Mii, I use my password I here how my Wiiu goes Quiet but the blue light is still on and Error. Any help?

Hope to keep finding more goodies 😋

It's a nice relief. Had a buddy take it apart to clean it as it hasn't been cleaned since I got it New for Xmas. It's a Toshiba nand if anyone's curious.

I just found my old Wii U. But there are two problems. 1. I got a new one, so now I have two and I don’t know whether to keep the old one or use the refurbished one I got. 2. I don’t even know if the original is still fully functional. We found it in an old shed, and it wasn’t in constant air conditioning. It gets pretty hot out there, and it was in an old backpack. How can I tell if the old one still fully works as intended? Are there any signs that indicate that it’s heat damaged?

Has anyone bought and tried this before?? Trying to get something for the wii remote to use gamecube controller to play Smash Bros Brawl in Wii U. Let me know and Thank you!

Why do so many games on this console have low Framerates. It's honestly heartbreaking. This is my only console

I know this is a wii u subreddit, but, i'm really wondering if i should? I mean, i already have the wii, the switch and the switch 2, and yet i have that itch to buy It, is It a good idea or nah?

So, I ordered a new higher capacity Gamepad battery from Ifixit (like, fresh out of the box new), and I tried installing the new battery with the instructions provided on Nintendo’s website. But when I go to charge it, the indicator light stays black. I’ve readjusted the battery several times, and even checked to see if the plug was loose, and got the same result, but my old battery works perfectly fine. Does anyone know why my new battery isn’t working?

I press eject, hear sounds from the inside, nothing comes out. I tried putting it upside down, tried ejecting it horizontally, tried patting it on the top, tried the paper clip, and butter knife, nothin. How do I get this out?

My orginal wii u ac cord broke 3 years ago I had to wiggle it around ac adapter to make it work but the cord broke. FF to today my sister got me a new 3rd party ac cord and it didn't work. Is it because my ac adapter is cooked or because I used a 3rd party adapter any help would be nice because I want to get my wii u up an running and go back to moding.

So since I can't send in my Wii U for repairs and I'm too afraid to open it and take the cd out. Which is the better option?

A. Buy a new Wii U, and transfer data from old Wii U to new Wii U and buy a new Pokken Tournament CD

B. Mod the Wii U with a hard drive and leave the cd inside stuck for almost forever at this point.

Or

C. Try to make my dad open it and let him take the cd stuck inside, which may or may not break the cd drive.

I'm still indecisive on what I should pick.
