Yes this is scary, but it's better to know than to not. Also, all causes are user reported, so take them with a grain of salt.

* = it's not clear why this bricks, hopefully some detail the user provided was wrong
[:)] = recovered / got new wii u
Yes we are going to try our best to keep this list up to date
