hi guys, my english is rusty so feel free to correct me. I bought a wii u and only homebrewed the wii u part following some guides. (The wii u side is working) Recently i got a wii remote and decided to complete homebrew the console but when i switch to vwii menu the console shuts down after showing the health and safety screen. I tried to remove the external ssd and the sd card to test but even without them the console shuts down every single time when i start the vWii channel. Is there something i can do to “unbrick” the vwii side? Thanks in advance.

no, i didn’t install anything because i can’t access the vwii menu to mod it (when i try to start the vwii the console instantly power off). I only homebrewed the wii u side following a guide since I didn’t have the wii mote to mod the vwii at that time. I bought the wii mote and the ir sensor and that’s when the error “appeared”. I noticed that the usb back port is damaged (the bottom usb port is damaged, the top one is fine since my portable ssd is working and it’s plugged there). Some guys said in reddit and here in gbatemp that this could be the issue and the fix was to rip off the usb port from the console but i’m afraid to do this as it could damage the console.

I don't think ripping off the USB port will help. Try Decaffeinator or vWii NAND restorer and see if they fix the issue.

I tried the decaff and the nand restorer but unfortunately the error persists. When i boot the vwii my console keeps shutting down. I guess i will live without the vwii.
