Hello ifixit community,
here is my problem;
I have a working motherboard with the wrong region and another one with a broken DRC-WUP graphic chip with the right region. I just want to solder the chip where the region lock is located to the working motherboard.
can someone tell me, where the region lock is located on the wii u gamepad motherboard?
Thanks for helping,
rgds Thomas

I can’t confirm that.. I bought USA region mother board and took that chip from old board. Still wrong region gamepad. But.. I can’t be 100% sure that broken motherboard was EU region like my test console.

I found it out mysef. You just have to replace the U10 Micron 25Q256A 256 Mb Serial Flash with your original. Then you can use a motherboard with different region

This is not a permanent fix and the gamepad will only work with the Wii U console that the old Gamepad was paired with. This might be fine in the short term, but if anything forces you to re-pair the gamepad you will be out of luck. On that note, if you try and pair the gamepad to another Wii U, it will fail with error code "165-9901"
"The update cannot be completed using a Wii U GamePad designed for a different region."
after installing the new motherboard, follow wiiu.hacks.guide to install aroma cfw and this will allow you to bypass the region lock via software
