Thank you so much! You saved me a lot of money and a major meltdown from my autistic son. He was so upset when I told him we might have to get another system. He has spent hours upon hours creating Miis and was upset that they would disappear on a new system. I honestly can’t thank you enough! You made it easy for this Mom who knows nothing about electronics to fix the problem we were having. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
It worked! Thank you, Brad! My kids are psyched to have their GamePad back. FYI to others: You'll have to order a special screwdriver for those damn 10 screws. I think it's called a tri-wing head screwdriver. I've never seen screws like that before. The wifi chip took like a month to get here from China, and I realized afterward that I had to then buy the screwdriver.
I bought one off OfferUp and It was working great, but I wanted to factory reset the console and now I can’t set it up cuz the gamepad won’t sync. I bought the Bluetooth chip and replaced it and it still doesn’t work. I don’t know what to do now.
Thank you so much for posting this helpful video. My son's GamePad has a range problem, and I have ordered the wifi part on eBay and will give this a try.
The wifi part came today, and I put it in while my kids watched. I wanted to hopefully plant the idea that they can attempt to research and repair things when they grow up. The part fixed the range issue. Much thanks from a very grateful mom.
Hi Brad... My name Is Chris and I recently got a Wii U bundle used of course. The seller claimed he tested everything and it worked but upon doing a factory reset on the device I can't connect the gamepad anymore. After watching a few videos on what causes this, i ordered another chip to see if that was the issue. I replaced the chip but still won't connect. Now I'm not sure if it's the gamepad or console. Can you help me?
Hi, I've called many "repair stores" here in Paris (France) and nobody has a clue of what is happening with my brother's Wii U so nobody takes it for repair. The console won't sync with anything, the button does not work at all and nothing is synced with the system, do you know anything that could help me ? I can't find any type of help... Thank you.
Hi, What would you say in the video if your gamepad doesn't sync with the console? Because that's my case. I have two wii u and the gamepads sync with one console but the other one doesn't? Thank you in advance
Hi, my son's game pad doesnt work if it's not next to the console. It says 'the connection with the wii u console is unstable. Do you know if that has anything to do with the sync
thank you been stumped for a month cause i was irritated it wouldn't work so i missed the problem completely lol let me know if you can solve the xbox one auto eject problem cause that would be helpful too lol
My Wii u has a syncing problem with the console itself. I managed to get the sync screen on the gamepad but whenever I press the syncing button on the console I'm greeted with an error screen.
Leonitex™ Yeah I didn't get it to work either. Sorry. But the only solution I have for you is to get a new Wii U. Now a Wii U at this time may be hard to find because Nintendo stopped producing them. But just last week before Christmas, I headed over to my local GameStop qnd bought a used Wii U. Not all GameStops have one so if you have multiple around your area be sure to look around. If not, you might need to give Nintendo a call (1 800-255-3700) and tell them that the console is malfunctioned and NOT the gamepad. Cause they're going to ask for the gamepad. Trust me. I called them and I got to the point were I was going to send them my gamepad. That wouldn't solve the problem because you'll still get the error message on your Wii U regardless of if you have a gamepad or not.
thanks so much . I got my gamepad working!!! now I can enjoy my Wii u as it comes to an end. do you think that 3rd party power supply for the gamepad is burning out the WiFi chip? its a theory I have. I decides to get a original power with my new mica chip.
Hey brad my Wii U gamepad won’t sync when it tries to sync the first time the gamepad turns off then turns back on but it won’t connect it says the same thing this does is it the same problem?
From what you are describing, it does sound like the same problem. Just keep in mind that there is a chance it could be something else. We never know what the electronics gnomes are getting into while we sleep. Thanks for watching!
Hey man! Thanks for all your great videos. I suspect that my nephew's Wii U has developed a problem with this component, could you please share a link where I actually can buy this component and replace it?
this link is for the main console chip ,,, if you need the chip for the gamepad im the owner of the ebay store and it would be mica2 , or mica or W081 , all 3 chips are the same and should work with any gamepad ,, micb2 is for the main console . i test them all myself from 10-12 ft away , i want to do business with you not rip you off lol

Thanks Brad, I'm going to have my cousin take my game pad apart. My 3 yr old grandson will be happy, gamma can play games with him again.
My game pad connects for about 10 minutes before it loses connection. You think that is the wifi too ?
I have a problem with the wii u gamepad - wii u console connection :(

Hi, What would you say in the video if your gamepad doesn't sync with the console?
Because that's my case. I have two wii u and the gamepads sync with one console but the other one doesn't?
Thank you in advance
I have the same problem, but I don't want to risk breaking my Wii U. Any suggestions?

Hey brad do you know how to fix the Wii U that won't sync I tried over 3 different gamepads and it won't sync
My Wii u has a syncing problem with the console itself. I managed to get the sync screen on the gamepad but whenever I press the syncing button on the console I'm greeted with an error screen.
What is the error?
Brad Tratzinski You can check my latest video on my channel. It basically sums up everything.
When you press the sync button a second time to connect your game pad, press it once quick and don't hold it down. Let me know if this works.
Leonitex™ Yeah I didn't get it to work either. Sorry. But the only solution I have for you is to get a new Wii U. Now a Wii U at this time may be hard to find because Nintendo stopped producing them.

That wouldn't solve the problem because you'll still get the error message on your Wii U regardless of if you have a gamepad or not.
Send it in to me and I'll have a look at it.

thanks so much . I got my gamepad working!!! now I can enjoy my Wii u as it comes to an end. do you think that 3rd party power supply for the gamepad is burning out the WiFi chip? its a theory I have. I decides to get a original power with my new mica chip.

Do you have a source for replacement Pad Wireless chips. My chip has gone bad and cant find a source for a reasonable price.

That's the component that goes inside the console. I need the one for inside the gamepad.
Hey brad my Wii U gamepad won’t sync when it tries to sync the first time the gamepad turns off then turns back on but it won’t connect it says the same thing this does is it the same problem?
From what you are describing, it does sound like the same problem. Just keep in mind that there is a chance it could be something else. We never know what the electronics gnomes are getting into while we sleep.

Hi, Brad

I am. I would need the console as well to make sure pairing and game play are working correctly.
