I decided to make a single post with a master list of all the Wii U consoles I have worked on and the repair status of them. This way I can keep track of them all. This will be broken up into 2 sections. The first are the consoles that were successfully repaired and the second will be the consoles that were unsuccessful. This list will include the date of manufacturing, the eMMC chip/revision, an explanation of the problem, how it was repaired and the date of repair. I will also provide a link back to the original post where the full details of the repairs can be found.
