How did you get the parts? I mean, didn't Nintendo discontinue the Wii U? Are you factory producing these parts or do you have a partnership or license with nintendo? lol i would really like to know
I have been able to take mine apart, but I have not been able to repair it. The voltage input fuse and the connector/pins on the board are fine, there is voltage and it reaches the fuse. But there is no power red in LED. I suspect some IC or other is damaged but I don't have a schematic. It has broken for no apparent reason since it has been stopped for eight months after playing with my daughter. If I remember correctly, a week ago it showed a red LED on.
@@fasttechvideo Thank you. I have tried a shop power supply setting at 15V/5A and it does the same thing. I have tried measuring the state of capacitors and coils. All correct. At the IC chip level, I have not tested it as I do not have the necessary means to do so. The truth is that it is quite strange that the Wii U just stops working, it turned off after 30 minutes of use. And until now, I know that sometimes (just looking), when I turned on the main power switch of the multi-plug where I have the TV and the HiFi and the record player connected, the LED turned red. The last thing they told me to try is that it replaces CR2032. I got to measure it and it gave me 3V, I don't remember right now if they are new batteries, they come standard with 3.5V in measurement. I have come across car remote controls with 3V batteries and they did not work, you put one with 3.5V and it started working. Anyway, I've tried this too and at least in my case it hasn't worked either. I don't know if a firmware downgrade could have occurred on the machine even despite having it turned off.
I replaced the drive as the original drive wouldn't play a disc.. when I plug it back in & pressed power the light went blue then flashing red. I discovered the fan isn't blowing but was blowing prior to the disassemble. I check the fan separately and it does work, but doesn't plugged in to the motherboard.. i didn't touch the motherboard at all..only removed & replaced the drive. Any suggestions? Thank you!
@@fasttechvideo Unfortunately it is plugged in and still doesn't spin. I'm gonna sell it on eBay as is.. I'm sure someone else has to knowledge and patience to work on it. Thank you
i watch your videos for no reason.... i watch all of your videos for no reason because i have no consoles to repair as i born in a middle class family in india , i have no way to get a gaming console... i am a 15 year old boy who have a low end pc in which i hardly play gta5 in lowest possible settings possible.(25fps on hd) ps3 is really outdated but its new for me. i really need it because it is my dream... indian people says that gaming is not good and so they wont buy gadgets for children i saw your ps5 giveaway video. i dont want a ps4 or ps5 because i know i am unlucky to get such auspecious consoles receiving an old ps3 which could atleast run gta5 in 30fps in 720p is toleratable i think you can fullfill my dream... wont you???😭😭 if you read this comment plzz respond even if its a regret i achieved nothing in my life i wish i could achive atleast a ps3 !!

Can you help my wii u console will turn on and make noise but the video is messed up and I have tried unplugging all cords and factory resting it but it did not fix it can you please show how to fix this I wished I could post a picture the best way I can explain it is that the screen is glithing really bad.
Try replacing the HDMI cable. If that does not work you could try using A/V output cables if you have a TV that supports is. You can get that cable here: www.fasttech.ca/nintendo-wiiu/nintendo-wii-av-cable If that new cables(s) does not work you have an issue with the hardware on your system (including but not limited to the APU chip). You could also have damaged HDMI port so you should visually inspect the port.
I have a Wii U that will connect my game controllers just fine but will not enter sync mode for the gamepad. This forces the system into error mode and a mandatory shut-off. Would that require replacing the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi board? Same issue as this person: th-cam.com/video/eoe4GtLT1rc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Wz8XBCVNvpduczr4

How did you get the parts? I mean, didn't Nintendo discontinue the Wii U?
Are you factory producing these parts or do you have a partnership or license with nintendo? lol i would really like to know
We buy systems that are working and disassemble them for parts like with any discontinued device 😊
How do we remove the head spreader please make video.
I will later on. Thanks for your comment

If I get one with this error I will do a video on it. First thing you should do is try a different power brick though.

i watch all of your videos for no reason because i have no consoles to repair
as i born in a middle class family in india , i have no way to get a gaming console...
i am a 15 year old boy who have a low end pc in which i hardly play gta5 in lowest possible settings possible.(25fps on hd)
ps3 is really outdated but its new for me. i really need it because it is my dream...
