Topic: Wii U Console Power Issues

I have a very interesting issue here. I have a Wii U console that would not power on. Multiple power bricks were tried to no avail. I took it apart and got it to turn on while it was partially disassembled. Once I put it back together I could not get it to power on. I know there are no sensors that would let it power on when apart, but not when together. Fast forward 2 years. I took a Wii U that had the sync switch fall off the motherboard (guessing someone took it apart previously because it didn't even have the posts going through the holes on the board) and grabbed the power module from it (known working) and soldered it to the board with power issues. Similar issues are happening, but even when apart it seems intermittent if the power comes on or not.

TLDR: Looking for a tech manual on the console motherboard to determine any other chips or components that handle the power delivery so I can get my game on. My Google Fu has returned zip.

hey,

thanks for this
