Hello.
Recently I bought a broken Wii U in hopes to repair it for cheap. I was not aware of the Hynix NAND Wii U's situation that happened 3-4 months ago, so I thought this was going to be an easy fix. I was wrong.
I cannot show photos, but I can give you description that should hopefully address the situation.
On boot, the Wii U logo appears for about 28 seconds. It then immediately goes into the "Delete All Content and Settings screen" with the usual notes and music. It hangs on that 12 seconds, before the screen dims and the console crashes.
I've already tried UDPIH and rebooting it still gives me the same results. I was able to confirm it was a Hynix Wii U though and dump the OTP and SEEPROM bins, but no logs.
UDPIH Was... off however. It worked just fine, but every time i would boot into it, something odd would happen. The first time it would not work, and give me a white, static like screen with some blue lines down the middle. Second time I would boot into it, UDPIH would work. Both times the screen was in 4:3 aspect ratio.
Also, for a split second, between the transition from the Wii U logo screen and the Delete content screen, there seems to be extra text that gets removed or shortened. I can't catch it fast enough to read what it says fully, but it looks to be the screen before you press confirm or accept the wipe. Odd.
I'm open to any and all suggestions. I'm also open to just buying a fixed Wii U outright, if the situation calls for it. It would be nice to fix this, but I'm not willing to lose sleep over it.
Thank you for your help.
(Forgive the edits, I'm trying to update this as I find out information.)
