my wii u has been disassembled before, as the disc drive was damaged after a couple of years of inactivity. i was unable to procure a new one, so i attempted to disassemble the disc drive to see any faults with it. fast forward 2 weeks and i gave up. (i then proceeded to not remember how to reassemble it, so i kept the bare minimum parts for it to connect to the system and let it work. fast forward again 2 years and i decide to pull it out again and softmod it. (the face of the system got lost somehow so i can only use the gamepad to power it on.) i finish the process, and then set down the gamepad. i then accidentally stepped on one of the components of the disc drive that was sticking out of the front, and it disconnected the ribbon cable. system does basic protocol and says that there's a problem with the disc drive. i then made the absolutely abysmal decision to pull the power cord instead of turning the system off. now it wont power on again. i've tried unplugging and waiting 2 minutes, switching outlet ports, and neither of those have worked. TL;DR: My disc drive disconnected and i unplugged the system instead of turning it off, now it won't power back on. is my AC adapter shorted or my system?
update one: found the face to the system, so now i'll have a visual indicator of if it's receiving power.
