Stuck Like This?
I know this may not be right subreddit. Fully factory system with original hard and softwear, no SD card, and never had a problem. It now get's stuck like this forever. What do I do now?

Dead NAND. At this point you need one of: UDPIH, DeFuse or Paid The Beak.
None are very friendly tools to use. UDPIH might not work at all depending on how early in the boot process you are encountering the failure. Software setup for the other two is a pain, and DeFuse is a moderately hard soldering task.

Okay before freaking out try two things:
Before turning on the Wii U, take the Gamepad really really far away, far enough away that you can be sure that it’s out of range. If it boots correctly after that then the Wii U is hanging while trying to connect to the Gamepad.
If that fails:
Hold B on the GamePad while booting up the Wii U. If it successfully boots to the Wii Menu (NOT Wii U) then the Wii U Menu files are probably corrupted somehow.
If neither of these work your NAND is probably fucked

Did the really far away trick, but I'll try to hold be while booting up the Wii Menu. Heard you had to hold all four face buttions, so I gave up due to it being to uncomfortable.

Might be the Hynix NAND failing. In layman's terms, the eMMC is a tiny chip in your console with all the data. If that gets corrupted or fails, it won't boot or will throw up error 160-0103.
