Damaged Digitizer on WiiU Controller

Chris davis -

My Problem

WiiU Controller had a massive gash in the Digitizer preventing it from working properly

My Fix

Was fairly simple after I found a properly detailed teardown video, there was a number of videos that completely skipped a few important steps of which I'll explain in a bit of detail below but besides those few issues the touchscreen functionality is practically back to what it was when I first bought the system.

My Advice

Some of the ribbon and power cables were kind of difficult to disconnect and reconnect and the first few videos I tried to follow completely skipped explaining how to disconnect the two smallest ribbon cables(the lever lifts from the opposite side of the ribbon cables insertion) and the ribbon cable near the A/B/X/Y buttons was I bit more difficult to get reinserted, I blame my larger fingers, but was somewhat remedied by removing the circuitry for those buttons which made slightly more room to work with.
