[QUOTE="V10lator, post: 10351951, member: 485896"] At first it sounded like you produced a short or something (for the future: Try using magnet wire instead of normal one: Way more simple to solder) but the pictures look good and you reverted the mod already, so it can't be that. On the other side [URL]https://gbatemp.net/threads/ultimate-wii-u-troubleshooting-guide-system-memory-error-160-0103-stuck-wii-u-screen-stuck-factory-reset-black-screen-after-stuck-update.642339/[/URL] also says a blinking red light is a short, so grab your magnifying glass and your multimeter and double check there is none. Sometimes the flux causes a micro drop of solder to quirt to some nearby but completely unrelated part, causing shorts there, for example. //EDIT: Lastly I would suggest to not do the 1A solder bridge mod but the original mod you intended.
