wii u gamepad lcd screen manufacturer

I was happy with the product itself. Includes both a replacement LCD and replacement touch screen digitizer glass. The reason for 4-stars instead of 5-stars is that it was meekly packaged with bubble wrap and a padded envelope and consequently the ribbon cable on the LCD screen was solidly crimped. Ribbon cables are very sensitive and it left me with the choice of having to do all the work of replacement just for a 50-50 chance the screen would be good. Even worse, it was crimped in the opposite direction of the way the ribbon cable needs to flex inside the Wii U gamepad controller. Ugh. I order touch screens replacements occassionally (mostly for broken phones) and whereas 2/3rds of the time they are meekly packaged like this one, 1/3rd of the time they come in a proper solid plastic-molded container to prevent exactly this sort of damage. But with such a large (and relatively heavy) screen compared to a 4-inch phone screen... good packaging becomes even more important. Although most people should not bother installing the screen with a ribbon cable in such a condition I didn"t want to wait and go through the effort of a replacement without trying it, and fortunately the screen worked fine. However, because the ribbon cable is now flexing against the crimp, there"s a small chance it will eventually fail. Fortunately, the price is so good I will accept that small chance.

Took 9 days to arrive with the free shipping and included the needed Y-tip screwdriver that all Nintendo products use for their external screws. The Y-tip screwdriver was of good quality.

I did not utilize the touch digitzer glass and instead opted to use / transfer the original Nintendo one. If you don"t need a to replace the digitzer you"ll want to keep the current one, otherwise you have to go through the extra significant step of trying to extricate the moulding off of both sides of the older digitizer to transfer it to the new one. Plus, 3rd-party digitzers are rarely as good as factory ones. Again though, I didn"t test out this digitizer glass.

The LCD screen itself I found to be of high quality (bright and crisp) and had the proper metal slide catches on the side that made it an exact replacement.

I would definitely order from them again as I am happy with the product, and the listing was very clear this included both the LCD and digitzer glass + the Y-tip screwdriver for a great price, and it arrived in a reasonable time. Just the anxiety of having a very damaged-looking ribbon cable from the get-go due to the mediocre packaging was not at all welcomed. Hopefully they will address this in the future.

1) Whether you use the replacement digitzer, or are able to salvage the old one, you will need to seperate the glued black rubber in between the old glass, and the old LCD. Ideally, you should use a hair dryer to warm this up. If you mangle it, it"s hard to get the little bits of rubber out from between the glass and the LCD when you put them together. It"s very important to get all dust and particles out.

2) There are two 4-wire (super thin... 1/2 cm) ribbon cables that connect to the Wii U gamepad controller, one from the digitzer screen, and one is for the power connector to the LCD screen. Being an experienced laptop and phone tech I can tell you these attach to the circuit board using the oddest flip-up-release tabs I have seen *very long and narrow*. They flip up from the rear end (the oppose side of where the cable plugs in). Exactly none of the videos on youtube showed this very delicate operation. Use a plastic pry tool to flip up the rear end of this long-thin ribbon cable connector.

5) You absolutely want to transfer the ribbed plastic moulding stuck to the digitzer glass if you are going to use the new digitizer glass, and ideally should transfer the rubber from the inside of the glass as well, or replace it using two or three layers of double-sided Scotch sticky tape.

6) Make sure the digizer glass and LCD are perfectly aligned. Again, I didn"t use the replacement digitzer but the replacement LCD was 100% size-perfect with the original, so the original glass certainly fit on perfectly 100% flush on all edges.

When Nintendo launched the Wii in 2006, it changed how we think about video games. Instead of passively sitting down and pressing buttons, you got up and moved around. Wii Sports was packaged free with the console, and became one of the most popular games of all time. That said, the Wii was already behind its competitors in one major respect: it didn’t have HD graphics. In fact, if you wanted to plug your Wii into an HDMI port, you needed an Wii to HDMI converter. By 2012, this weakness was glaring, and Nintendo released the Wii U as an HD upgrade.

In addition to HD graphics, the Wii U has another major difference from the Wii. Instead of a simple handheld controller, it utilizes the large Wii U GamePad. This controller sports a touchscreen display, along with the triggers, buttons, and thumbsticks. It’s not used for all games; many still use a traditional Wii Remote, the Nunchuk, or the Balance Board. However, the touchscreen adds functionality for a number of games. It can serve as a secondary display or inventory management screen. It can also be used to play some games without a TV. Finally, the display can be used to monitor system settings without bringing up the menu on your TV.

The problem here is straightforward. Game controllers take a lot of abuse, and LCD touchscreens can only be so durable. Eventually, they crack or get damaged in some other way. When that happens, the GamePad is expensive to replace. As an alternative, you can simply install a new screen. We’re about to go through the process of how this is done, from beginning to end. Then we’ll review three replacement screens: the TOMSIN Replacement LCD Display, the YTTL Replacement LCD Screen, and the Forno LCD Display. At the end, we’ll wrap up and make our recommendations. Let’s get started!

Before you run out and buy a replacement screen, it’s important to know what’s involved. Replacing the Wii U GamePad screen is a challenging process, not for the faint of heart. To access the display, you’ll essentially have to disassemble the entire GamePad. You have to be careful, and you’ll need about half an hour to perform the repair.

You’ll also need the correct tools. A #00 Philips driver and a Nintendo Tri-Wing driver are a must. Tweezers are technically optional, but highly recommended. Unless you have very dainty fingers, a lot of the connections can be difficult to remove by hand. That said, here’s how to replace your screen.

The first step is removing the GamePad battery and opening the case. Start by placing the GamePad face down on a table. Remove the two screws securing the battery compartment, and set them aside. It helps if you sort out your screws from the get-go. You’re dealing with different types and lengths, and reassembly is easier if you don’t get them mixed up. Also, take as many pictures as you need to during disassembly. It’s easier to put things back together when you have a picture of what they’re supposed to look like.

Next, open the battery compartment and remove the battery. You’ll have to unplug the connector to do this. Press down hard and pull at the same time; it can take a bit of elbow grease. Once the plug is disconnected, set the battery aside.

Now that the battery is removed, it’s time to open the case. There are 10 Tri-Wing screws around the perimeter of the case back. Remove these, and set them aside. Now, lift the case back gently. Be careful. The rumble motor will still be connected, so you’ll have to flip the case open like a book. You’ll see the rumble motor connection, a pair of red and black wires that run into a white connector. Pull this connector free of the motherboard, using tweezers if necessary. Now you can set the case back aside.

Now, you’ll be looking at the inside of your GamePad. Next to where the rumble motor connected, you’ll see the Bluetooth Board, elevated over the main motherboard. Gently pull this board up, keeping in mind that there are two wires attached to the back. Disconnect both of these wires, and set the Bluetooth board to the side.

The next phase of this process involves disconnecting all the wires and ribbon cables that run to the motherboard. There are several of them, so we’ll just make a list. Using tweezers is strongly advised, especially for the ribbon cable connectors. They’re easy to damage if you’re just using your fingers. Here are all the parts you need to disconnect:

Next, remove the white ribbon cable that connects into the left side of the motherboard. It’s easiest to manage if you just remove both ends of the cable and set it aside.

Near the white ribbon cable, you’ll find an additional blue ribbon cable, and a second white cable further up. Disconnect both of those cables from the motherboard, but leave the other ends in place.

In the center of the motherboard, towards the front, you’ll see a wide brown ribbon cable in a black connector. This is the display ribbon. Lift the black clasp that holds it in place.

There’s an additional grey ribbon next to the brown ribbon. This is the ribbon for the touch digitizer. Undo the clasp just as you did for the display ribbon.

There are two additional red and black coiled wires with white connectors. Disconnect both of these wires from the motherboard, using the tweezers if necessary.

The NFC communicator will still remain attached to the motherboard. It looks a lot like the Bluetooth board, and you should be similarly careful while removing it. There’s a small wire plugged into a tiny connector on the back. Remove this wire carefully, so as not to damage the connector. Set the NFC communicator aside.

At this point, the only thing attaching the motherboard to the housing will be a set of three Philips screws. With them out of the way, you can carefully remove the motherboard and set it aside.

With the motherboard removed, you’ll be looking at the back of the display housing. It’s essentially a big grey bracket, and it needs to be removed to get at the screen. Begin by removing the four screws at the corners of the housing. You know what to do with them. Next, find the white and black cables that run through the display housing to the triggers. Pull these out gently so they’re not in your way.

At this point, the display housing can simply be lifted out of the GamePad. This will leave the display bare and disconnected, ready to remove. Even if it’s broken, be careful while you’re taking it out. You don’t want to damage anything else inside the housing. That said, it’s easy enough to remove. You can lift it out with your fingers, much like you removed the display housing.

Once the display has been removed, you can install the new one and reverse the process to reassemble. In most cases, the digitizer will self-adhere to the front of the display. When you attach it, make sure to line it up carefully! A misaligned digitizer will result in a twitchy, difficult-to-use display. Also, be careful with the connectors and ribbon cables. They’re just as easy to damage during reassembly as they were during disassembly.

TOMSIN is a manufacturer that specializes in replacement game console parts. In fact, we’ve reviewed their replacement PS4/Xbox One thumbsticks in the past. We liked what we saw, so we were eager to give their replacement LCD display a shot. This is a drop-in replacement screen for the Nintendo Wii U GamePad. You simply remove the old display and install the new one. There’s no modification or rejiggering required. The kit includes a display screen, along with the touch digitizer. Just peel away the back cover of the digitizer and apply it to the screen during installation. The ribbon cables connect easily, and are sized perfectly for the GamePad.

The display is clean and bright, with great color clarity. It looks like the original GamePad screen, which is exactly what you want. Keep in mind that you may want to wipe the screen down — carefully! — during installation. These displays are tested before they ship, and occasionally one gets sent out with a thumbprint. Not only that, but you run the risk of leaving a thumbprint of your own during installation.

Along with the screen itself, you also get a pair of screwdrivers. One is a Philips #00, and the other is a Nintendo Tri-Wing screwdriver. Between the two of them, you’ve got everything you need for disassembly, except a pair of tweezers. The drivers have proportionally large plastic handles that are easy to grip. They’re obviously cheap, but you’re not paying for screwdrivers; you’re paying for the display. The screwdrivers are good enough to get the repair done, and that’s all you really need.

The YTTL Replacement LCD Screen is another drop-in replacement for the Wii U GamePad screen. It includes the digitizer, so you have a complete replacement for any damaged screen. This is a brand new replacement, but keep in mind that there may be fingerprints from testing. The display quality is excellent, with plenty of brightness and clean, crisp colors. The touchscreen is natural and responsive, so it’s easy to operate. Provided you position it correctly, it works just as well as the original.

The kit includes a Philips #00 and Tri-Wing screwdriver for ease of installation. The handles are reasonably fat, so they’re easy to manage. Like the TOMSIN tools, they’re fairly cheap, but they’ll get the job done. Get yourself a good pair of tweezers, and you’re ready to rock.

Third on our list is the Forno LCD Display. Like our first two offerings, this is also an easy-to-use drop-in kit. It consists of both a screen and a digitizer, so you’ve got all the parts you need. Like the other two kits, the Forno kit includes a pair of screwdrivers. They’re a bit chintzy, but they’ll do what you need them to do.

The display quality is on par with the GamePad’s native display, as is the function of the touchscreen. Assuming the installation is done correctly, no-one would ever notice that the screen has been replaced. Even better, Forno provides a one-year satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with the display’s performance, you can return it for a full refund.

As you can see, these three replacement screens are more or less identical. The TOMSIN Replacement LCD Display, the YTTL Replacement LCD Screen, and the Forno LCD Display are all drop-in replacements. Even the screwdrivers are virtually identical. They’re low-quality tools that are made to get you through a single repair. You won’t really be disappointed, no matter which way you go. All other things being equal, the Forno display is a few dollars cheaper and comes with a one-year warranty. But that’s the only thing that really sets it apart.

There’s one additional option we should mention. If your game doesn’t require the screen, you can forego a GamePad altogether and use another controller. For instance, you can use an old GameCube controller with a GameCube controller adapter. Better yet, when you plug in with an adapter, you don’t have to worry about keeping your batteries charged.

Nintendo no longer offers factory repairs for the Wii U console, the Wii U GamePad, or Wii U accessories. You may find our information on replacement and upgrade options helpful.

The Wii U GamePad is the standard game controller for Nintendo"s Wii U home video game console. Incorporating traits from tablet computers, the GamePad has traditional input methods (such as buttons, dual analog sticks, and a D-pad), touchscreen controls, and motion controls. The touchscreen can be used to supplement a game by providing alternate, second screen functionality or an asymmetric view of a scenario in a game. The screen can also be used to play a game strictly on the GamePad screen, without the use of a television display. Conversely, non-gaming functions can be assigned to it as well, such as using it as a television remote.

The Wii U GamePad can be used in conjunction with other controllers compatible with the console, such as the Wii Remote Plus, Nunchuk, Wii Balance Board, and the more conventional Wii U Pro Controller.

During development of the Wii console, video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto brought in mobile phones and controllers for automotive navigation systems for inspiration for the Wii Remote, eventually producing a prototype that resembled a cell phone.analog stick and a touchscreen, but Nintendo rejected the idea of a touchscreen on the controller, "since the portable console and living-room console would have been exactly the same".

Nintendo"s development team had determined that the Wii"s notification light did not provide enough information to be useful beyond whether it had received content or not. With the complexity of modern televisions, Miyamoto believed that a monitor separate from the console would provide an easier way to check on the console"s status without needing to use the television.karaoke establishments in Japan, which displays song information and also allows its users to select their next song.

Satoru Iwata explained that the controller"s design is intended to allow players to "see games in a different way,"asymmetric gaming" during Nintendo"s E3 2012 press conference.Gyroscopic capabilities were added by the team specifically to aid in aiming for first and third person shooter games.

The Nintendo EAD development team created two controller prototypes: a monitor with two Wii Remotes glued to the sides, and a display attached to a Wii Zapper.Nintendo 3DS. On May 19, 2012, a photograph of a near-final version of the controller was leaked on Twitter by an employee of TT Games, revealing a wider build with ergonomic grips, a redesigned button layout, and analog sticks instead of circle pads.E3 2012. The presentation confirmed the leaked changes, and unveiled other features making use of the screen.

The GamePad"s primary feature is its 6.2 in (16 cm), FWVGA (854x480), resistive touchscreen display, which can be controlled with either fingers or an included stylus. The screen can be used as a supplement to gameplay to provide additional functionality that can be controlled using the screen, or to stream gameplay from the console in lieu of a television display (Off-TV Play). The controller also features a front-facing camera (usable for video chat), dual analog sticks, nine-axis motion detection via a three-axis accelerometer, three-axis gyroscope and a three-axis magnetometer, rumble support,infrared array that can emulate the Wii Sensor Bar.NFC, which allows developers to create figurines (such as Nintendo"s Amiibo figures) or cards that can wirelessly interact with the controller, and allows Japanese users to pay for software on the Nintendo eShop using prepaid FeliCa-based transit cards such as Suica.E3 2012, Nintendo unveiled more details about the GamePad; including its ability to be used as a remote control for a television with the Nintendo TVii app, and the ability to send handwritten messages and other content.

The GamePad communicates with a Wii U console over a modified Wi-Fi protocol designed for low-latency transmission, establishing its connection with the console by using a variant of the WPS process, with proprietary transfer protocol and software co-developed with Broadcom.H.264 video codec, for which the GamePad contains a hardware decoder.

Nintendo"s first presentation of the controller in 2011 led to confusion upon whether the Wii U would support the use of multiple GamePads. A Nintendo spokesperson stated that the GamePad would not be sold individually from a Wii U console,Nintendo 3DS as a controller in this scenario as well—implying potential compatibility.

The warranty does not cover any damage that could be caused during the installation process, therefore, we strongly advise you to seek professional help.
