  1. Nintendo Wii U Wireless Module Replacement, Console Outer Case: 步骤 1 中的图像 1,1
    • With the bottom of the console facing up, remove the following 6 screws hidden underneath the white square stickers:

    • Three 5.1mm Phillips #000 screws

    • Two 6.1mm Tri-wing Y0 screws

    • One 13.2mm Tri-wing Y1 screw

  2. Nintendo Wii U Wireless Module Replacement: 步骤 2 中的图像 1,1
    • Rotate the console 180 degrees so that the exhaust vents are facing you.

    • Remove the two 7.1mm Phillips #00 screws.

    Both screws are not “7.1mm” in length, only the one to the right is (center of the console’s side). The left one (towards the front of the console) is 5.1mm.

    There’s a third screw to remove bottom-left corner of this picture. On step 9 it’s already been removed, and you need it to be removed in order to remove the metal casing in step 13.

    • On the side opposite of the exhaust vents, slide the cover faceplate towards the back of the console and pull upwards to release it.

    • On the bottom of the console beneath the previously removed faceplate, remove the three 13.2mm Tri-wing Y1 screws.

    • On the back of the console, lift up and release the main top cover.

    The front portion of the side of the cover with the vents was kind of stuck on mine. There’s a little rubber piece in there that was the cause of this. But that same rubber piece also makes up the little handle-shaped nub that sticks out of the side there. (There’s also one at the back of the same side, but that one didn’t stick for me.) Lifting also using the little handle made it easy to remove the cover.

    • Rotate the device so that the front plate is facing you.

    • On each side of the console, remove the 3.5mm Phillips #0 screw connecting the DVD drive to the faceplate.

    My screw won't come out, and I feel as if my screw was screwed in too tight when they made the wii u, or the 3.5 #0 is too big. I have tried other screws and I think the screw might be done for because the metal is coming off of the top and deforming the shape. I am very lost and if anyone could help me, that would be amazing.

    Those #0 screws might be tight and they’re easy to strip. Put some force on the screwdriver to make sure you start unscrewing them and not stripping them.

    Pascal Dagenais - 回复

    One of the screws started to deform instead of unscrewing. I used a bigger Philips screwdriver (size 1), added a rubberband between it and the screw and used more force to avoid stripping it more and make sure it would start unscrewing. It worked hopefully ! But I wasn’t sure it would.

    • Rotate the device so that the front plate is on the right side and the ribbon cable is visible.

    • The ribbon cable is connected to the system by a latch which holds in the blue tab. Flip this latch up to unlock it.

    • Lift up on the blue tab to release the ribbon cable.

    There is a step to do before to "lift up on the blue tab in order to release the ribbon cable". We must lift up the connector who maintain the ribbon cable. By default, his position his locked and in order to unlock it, must put it in his top position.

    • Remove the front faceplate.

  9. Nintendo Wii U Wireless Module Replacement, DVD Drive: 步骤 9 中的图像 1,1
    • On each side of the DVD drive, remove the two 4.6mm Phillips #0 mounting screws.

    • Rotate the device so that the disc drive slot is visible.

    • A ribbon cable is attached to the bottom right side of the disc drive. The ribbon cable can rip if it isn't removed properly.

    • Lift the disc drive out of the mount and turn over to the right so it lies like a book.

    • Use a spudger to release the ribbon cable.

    This step is not entirely clear on how to remove the ribbon cable with the spudger. It seems you need to pry up the black part.

    • Remove the disc drive.

    The Disc Drive Logic Board can but must not work with the Console, because there are different Drives. If you're lucky it'll work but sometimes it doesnt it happend to me often when i tried to change drives from 2013 and 2014 produced Consoles

    • Remove the black plastic shielding by unscrewing connecting screws with a Phillip's Head screwdriver.

    • You will have to carefully adjust the antenna cables out of the way in order to proceed comfortably.

    It would be nice to add indications on the location of those screws.

    Pascal Dagenais - 回复

    I agree with Pascal. I figured it out by taking my own pictures as I tore my unit apart. as I took each screw out I laid it beside the hole and took a picture when I was done. I also noticed that on the top shield look for arrows (put a screw here) and X (don’t put a screw here). It gets a little weird around those 4 standoffs that hold the disc drive. And by the way that standoff in the wrong place in the lower left in that first picture.

    Thomas King - 回复

    If the black plastic shielding is not coming off once all the screws holding it down have been removed, try pushing it in the direction of the ports, and then try pulling up once the shielding has moved.

    There are four Philips #1 screws that need to be removed.

    • The metal cap does not require unscrewing and should lift up with ease.

    • Unscrew all the screws that outline the perimeter of the board using a Phillips Head (PH1) screwdriver.

    • Remove the silver shielding plate once all screws are removed. Be careful when pulling it under the affixed antenna cables.

    This omits the step of undoing the 4 screws around the heatsink. That has to be done or the bottom shielding won’t come off.

    Petie Martin - 回复

    Yup, This step is pretty critical. If you don't have the solid base of it in the plastic makes it hard to keep control of the heat sink when you take it off outside. ended up slicing something off my mainboard. Not sure why this critical step is left out. Rip me I guess.

    GARRETT KIPPS - 回复

    There are twelve PH1 screws around the periphery of the shield and two more under the DVD drive. All screws are the same size.

    • At this point, the motherboard should easily separate from the lower tray.

    From step 13 to 14, you also need to unscrew the 2 screws in the hollow areas in the middle of the metalicboard and the 4 screws around the metallic square that was under the metal cap. Otherwise the motherboard will stay stuck with the metal layer underneath. You might also need to remove the black plastic pieces around the motherboard and the metal layer to separate them.

    • Flip the motherboard over to view the underside where the Wii U's wireless modules are located. The Bluetooth module is circled in red.

    • This module is affixed with strong adhesive, so in order to remove it you will need to wiggle the module with slight force for a couple of minutes.

    wrong card circled there this is the 2.4ghz wifi module wich is for the internet connection . the right one is the top one with the red and gray antenna

Salvador Mora - 回复

I found on aliexpress

Rodrigo Mafort -

I actually just bought a secondary Wii U just to be sure I don't get a cheap part, it was like $65 with a credit on eBay

Salvador Mora -

Which one of these is for the module for control pad?:

Broadcom BCM43237KMLG Wireless LAN module

Broadcom BCM43362KUB6 802.11n Wireless Module—the same one used in the Roku 2 XS

Broadcom BCM20702 Bluetooth 4.0

Ok guys, I have a solution, after taking it to Nintendo (and them rejecting it just for having the Homebrew channel on the Wii emulator of my Wii U) and UbreakIfix (whom failed at fixing the Wii U even after I thought they should of been able to), I decided to take matters into my own hands, so I decided to repair it myself. I was not sure of the part and no one really states how they fixed it but I just want to share to all of you how I actually managed to fix it and what part it was because I was in those shoes beforehand. So before I started the repair I was about 95% sure the issue was the wireless 5ghz module because this site clearly stated on the replacement page for the 5ghz module that it was a component for wireless connectivity with the gamepad (Nintendo Wii U Wireless Module Replacement), so once I took it to the UbreakIfix store they told me they could not repair it.

(continued below)

Salvador Mora - 回复

I thought they had not fixed this card because they just told me that they switched out the "Bluetooth" card and no other info, that lead me to believe that all they did was change out the 2.4ghz or Bluetooth module like the guide on this site (Nintendo Wii U Wireless and Bluetooth Module Replacement). Since my console connected to normal controllers I was almost sure that was not the issue, so I was lost, nobody else could fix it, and all hope was gone, until I decided to repair it myself because, again, I almost knew it was the 5ghz card. So just because the parts are so hard to find and since I didn't want a cheap part, I just bought just a console alone off of ebay with a coupon I had (which was only $65 which is really cheap for a fully functional console) because my gamepad was fine.

Salvador Mora - 回复

so after getting the console the first thing I did was strip the part I needed the 5ghz card, but also grabbed the 2ghz module (the one with the Red and Grey wires connected to it) and took it out also just to keep it for later, so once the 5ghz was replaced, I noticed the console got the same error after pressing sync twice, I had nearly given up then. Just fooling around I tried the 2ghz card, and to my surprise, the issue was fixed! I couldn't believe it, the card that I never expected to be the issue, was the issue, not sure if many confuse the 2 for what purpose the serve in the console but I do know that it worked for me and will post it everywhere possible so everyone will know how to fix it. I'll even try to take pics but I hope this helps some of you!

this guide was useful but it is wrong. The wifi card circled in this guide is not the 5ghz one . Salvador Mora is right but for the wrong reason , he believed he replaced the 2.4 ghz but in fact it was the 5ghz. The right one is the top one beside the bluetooth card with the red and gray antenna wires. If you are unsure you can verify the FCC ID of the components and check them on the FCC ID website . For example my 5ghz wifi card FCC ID number was EW4DWMW052 and if you check it on the FCC ID website https://fccid.io/EW4DWMW052 you can clearly see that it is a 5ghz wifi module . I just replaced mine and its fully working now ;) Just so you know The one circled in this guide is the 2.4ghz wifi module wich is for internet connection , the one i am talking about is the 5ghz wifi module wich is for the connection between the gamepad and the console and the one next to it , the one without any antenna is the bluetooth module and is for any bluetooth connection ex: pro controller

Francisco Urbina -

Sorry folks I got lost. What is the part number for the piece with the red and gray antenna wires??? Also IS this part on the game pad or the base console. Thanks for the help, I have a 10 year old daughter mourning the loss of her game pad, (and having to stand next to the console to get it to communicate. ) oh - where is the best place to purchase this component??
