Chosen Solution

i was recently wanting to play on my Wii u for the first time in a month or so. the light tuns on blue for a second with the fan coming on then blinking red light. it has been opened recently to be cleaned. any ideas

I know this is an old post, but if you opened up the console and removed the disc drive, be sure to plug the flex cable in the same way it was removed. You can swap the cable around and it will fit, however you’ll get the blinking red light when you try and turn it on.

Make sure plugs are all plugged in. Did u have a game in it? Try to get it out and try again. Or maybe you left it on last time you played which can overheat it
