Heya!

I got a bricked WiiU a friend of mine bricked a few years ago.
He found the bricked console when he moved into a new apartmend and gave it to me for free.

Do any of you guys know if it's possible to unbrick the device?
I'm actually not sure what's wrong with the system. When I turn it on, the Power LED is Blue (as it normally is) but the TV stays black with both the HDMI Output and the AV Output.
Unfortunately nothing has been dumped or were secured (seeprom, otp, etc).

Anyone who has some experience with that?

If it is a CBHC Brick you just have to simply change the startup title back to the Wii U menu in the recovery_menu.

If it's not a CBHC brick ...... for example if someone was stupid enough to mess around with the system nand files then it would make the most sense to install a backup via wupserver.......

    How much dollar do you think it is?

    ONE MILLION DOLLA
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Probably $150 someone said Anbernic said around the same price as rg556

    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.

    like the lighting in that game was genuinely so good
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Not getting dragged into that again.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    i dont get why they didn't port the one game that ran the worst on consoles, to pc
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like you port everything to pc except the one game where it would make the most sense. why. what do you gain from this
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    is sega just personally fucking with me? are they laughing while watching me through my kinect camera as i get up to restart my xbox for the third time because the game froze again
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Buy handhelds from five below better quality
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Valve probably going to do another refresh of the deck this fall with rog ally like specs tbh
  • Veho @ Veho:
    A smaller form factor would be nice too.
