Wii U gamepad screen dying
Before I left St. Kitts for the holidays, I started setting up my space downstairs as a sort of games room with all my consoles. Ideally, it'll be set up upstairs in what could be considered the house's attic, but that will take much much more work - ventilation, electrical, space and finally figuring out how to get up and down easy enough that it makes it usable. Right now the downstairs set up doesn't make much sense in case Ale needs help with anything.

Anyway, I set up a cuby system for the different consoles and plugged in my wii u for the first time in like 3 years and the gamepad screen has got fog in it as if one layer is peeling from another. Saddened me tremendously cause it's on of my favorite and underappreciated consoles.

Online you can find the game pad selling for like 130us or you can buy the parts for about 40us. Throw in a new battery for another 15us and you pratically have a new gamepad. Especially since mine is the "special edition" zelda wind waker edition.

It might seem silly, but I'd rather not lose the glyphs on the gamepad.

I found these parts on iFixit:
Gamepad screen and Gamepad LCD. I'm pretty tech savy but what is the difference here?

Plus the Wii u gamepad iFixit guide for replacing the screen

I think I'll tackle it. Of interest, these can all be found on amazon for the same or similar prices.

Windshield replacement at vitro plus
Getting the car fixed on the 22nd at 8am

Vitroplus also has the cheapest price for replacing a windshield at ~350 . Kia screwed me, a month ago telling me it was 300 bucks for the replacement, i just called and suddenly the price has jumped to 700 bucks plus tax.

and Le beau is a joke. Do not use LeBeau, their system of repair doesn't work 100% and the entire point is to get you to come in to their shop so you are 'forced' to spend more money on a replacement
