Please help! I have been trying to mod my Wii U for a few days and my Wii U won’t write to sd card. It keeps saying ‘failed to write to sd card’. I have tried tape, resetting the sd card but nothing is working. Please help
The tape is exactly for that: The Wii U uses a laser to read the switch state but this laser is pretty picky. A small scratch between the switch and the casing you can't even see is enough for the Wii U to think the card is locked. In these cases one just grabs a piece of tape and covers the switch under it: Laser can't pass anymore, Wii U thinks cardn isn't locked. This trick even worked for people who somehow managed to completelly rip the switch off the SD card.Tape?
The problem could be that the sd card is locked
Yes I have formatted it to Fat32 and bought 3 sd cards but they all don’t work for some reason? Is there anything I’m doing wrong?Can you confirm that the card is formatted to fat32? Do you have any others to test with?
Ok thanks for that, does it need to be a certain colour of tape? Also what could it be if it’s not a write lock issueThe tape is exactly for that: The Wii U uses a laser to read the switch state but this laser is pretty picky.

So seeing the OP tried tape already I'm pretty sure it's not a write lock issue.
