Topic: Trying to fix Wii U Gamepad Screen

Hey all,

So I decided to try and fix my broken Wii u gamepad screen. I replaced the screen and once I did the touch feature worked and so did the sound- it would also turn the Wii u on and off.

However, the screen itself is black and picture-less (again it is responsive to touch and makes sound). The light on the Wii u gamepad is blue when you hit the power button but it then fades away.

Any one know where I went wrong? Before I replaced the screen the light on the Wii u worked normally and the screen still showed some picture and wasn't just pitch black.

Thanks!

maybe the screen is not properly connected? or you damaged the ribbon?

The ribbon looks fine, but I did consider that- if so I guess I'm just out of luck!

I was missing some screws...Perhaps that is the problem? I really didn't think they would make much of an impact so long as I had enough of them to keep everything down.

Thanks for your input!
