Rexdragon125 03/06/23 10:58:11 AM #2:	Yeah certain NAND memory cells can leak their charge over time if there's no power source. Powering on the NAND array refreshes them. Mine's been plugged in and turned off for a few years, I wonder if the NAND stays charged like that. <cite>Rexdragon125 posted [p:971990676] in The Wii U ...
