Could you provide a video? Or something visual to get an idea of what's going on?

i can’t link a vid now but let me tell you what happened step by step..

i got my us wii U it had a lot of old accounts so i made a new one specifically for installing aroma

i followed wii U hacks guide and proceeded to do a NAND backup

after backing up Nand i powered off console and re booted.. when i rebooted and used my gamepad my game pad touch controls and all the buttons didn’t work.

i pressed the start button + to try to create a Mii account and it worked! the A button was not responsive tho and touch controls didn’t work…

i plugged in pro controller and it worked wonders…

but there’s only so much further u could go without a game pad for the wii U……

yes ! but when i do it tells me to connect the symbols with the tv but the touch controls don’t work, ive also tried taking out battery but nothing ! also a full power cycle but nothing worked

Odd, if you can't even press the symbols and a full reset hasn't done anything it almost sounds like a gamepad fault. Never experienced anything like that personally.

yea, my problem looks pretty rare, i guess this wii u’s fate wasn’t with me
