New to the forum after just getting my kids Wii U hooked back up after it was "put away" for a while. When I switched it back on it worked fine, starting afresh on one game, but then had issues with the Error Code 160-0103 on some other games and I cannot even access the system settings without getting the error come up.
I've searched around and cannot find too much help.
The console has never been modded or anything like that, but I wanted to ask on here before I tossed it in the trash as the only answers I have found online so far is that it's a brick and there's no fix.
That error seems to indicate that the system needs an update or something is corrupted. You might be able to fix it if you can perform a software update. Nintendo's support page on that error is here.
I had already looked at the Nintendo support pages but as they have now dropped all support I was just wondering if anyone knew of anything else, but it looks like have a brick!

I don't think the eMMC flash storage can be removed or replaced...But I was hoping someone was going to show me that I was wrong!
@CinnamonRobin
I can't get into the System Settings without getting the error, so I am unable to perform a system update.
Have you tried calling Nintendo support? They might be able to help. I’ve heard they’re pretty good at solving stuff.

@gloriousglenn Disregard, if you you've looked already..... If you run out of options, you can try looking for retro game business in your area, some of those places also repair game consoles. Or look up game console repair. Since the pandemic, demand & prices have been kind of crazy for all consoles used & new, and even used consoles have become more scarce. Actually, you can even sell a broken console. Some people can use them for parts, or fix them.
