hey guys a quick video here on an error
code that displays on the Wii U gamepad
we have a hardware error code popping up
here when the game when you run a game
that utilizes the NFC communication chip
at a near field communication chip it
has embed it's embedded into the gamepad
it's a utilized in games like Mario
maker and Smash brother game anyway uh
the error code here that you'll see is a
one six five six five nine six code it's
just a hardware error code simply
telling you that it's not it's not able
to detect the NFC chip we'll go ahead
and open this one up and we'll see what
what it looks like and how to reattach
it it's it's it's not a very difficult
process at all all right here we're
gonna we're going to have to open up the
back cover first we're going to remove
the battery that's the first thing we're
going to do you're going to need a
little position tool set there's simple
Phillips screws this parts pretty simple
open it up remove the battery
this is what the back-cover opened
without the battery looks like you'll
notice that I have other little screw
holes around the edge of the gamepad and
there you'll find a special type of
screw I don't I don't know what it's
called but here's a picture here's a
picture of the screwdriver bit that I
have for my tool set and here's a
picture of the screw itself this is a
drill screw bit that I purchased at
Walmart it was a simple little set that
had several little different types of
bits
there's about $10 at Walmart I'll put a
link to the site that sells these bits
that you can buy online if you'd like to
if you don't if you can't find them
locally or you don't have a place that
sells them locally this is probably the
toughest part of the whole whole thing
is trying to acquire this through this
screw bit alright so this is what the
inside of the gamepad looks like go
ahead and ignore the battery I have on
this picture I reconnected the battery
for some testing anyway we're going to
concentrate on the bottom right corner
that's where the NFC chip is located and
you'll see in my case the NSA chip is
not connected it's detached from the
board it goes connected right here in
this spot right over the little
lettering that says Nintendo all right
we have NFC card and SD card right here
he cashed
you can see here's the connection that
connects right there that see that I'm
going to go ahead and place it on there
and I want to use some hot glue some of
that it stays on there not fall all
right I went ahead and put the dab of
hot glue and kind of get that back onto
the board I'm going to go ahead and
close up the gamepad put the screws back
on like it was put the battery back on
and we'll try it out
all righty we're going to go ahead and
start the game up and see what happens
here if all goes well we should be able
to be able to use the gamepad with no
issues here we can see we can control
Mario move them back and forth and
everything looks good so if for whatever
reason you're still receiving the error
and maybe your chip was not disconnected
then your chip may be bad it may be
defective then in that case it makes to
be replaced and you may have to go
through the whole process with Nintendo
but hopefully that's not the case and
you're able to fix your own gamepad too
