Wii U Orange Light Freeze

March 16, 2016, 10:12 am

I've had this problem happen 4 times overthe course of a year and 5 months with my Wii U since buying it. You know how the Power Light is normally Red, but will turn Orange/Yellow when the Wii U is doing something in Standby Mode? For me, on four different occasions, the Power Light has turned Orange/Yellow and stayed Orange/Yellow. When I tried to turn on the Wii U, the Power Light will turn Blue, but the Wii U itself will not start. The fan nor the Disc Drive will make a sound. The Wii U will sound as active as it was when it was turned Off, with the exception being that now the Orange/Yellow Light is Blue. To fix the problem, I have to physically unplug the Wii U from the back. Holding the Power Button down for 10 seconds does nothing. After replugging the Wii U, the Power Light will be Red and the console will resume functioning as normal.

 

The first three times, I was unsure why this was happening. However, the 4th time, I think I was able to narrow it down. The Wii U has done this when the console has a pending update to install. The 3rd time this happened back in  November, I had Mario Kart 8 data that had been downloaded, but not installed and last night, there was the 1.1.5 Smash Bros update.

 

I'm not sure if this is the exact cause, but I'm positive it's related to Standby Mode Downloads.

 

My Wii U console is updated with the latest software, so I know it isn't due to a console update.

Wiimote keeps turning....

I have a Wii U, and sometimes I use the old Wiimote to play Mario Kart 8, using it set as motion controller.  Sometimes when turning, it seems to go in 'full lock' for want of a better turn.  Keeps doing a hard turn for a while longer no matter what I do, even if I wasn't doing a hard turn to begin with.

 

Any idea what could be causing it?

I just bought New Super Mario Bros Wii. I turned on my Wii U, loaded the Wii Menu and insert the disc into the console. I click start, it shows the controller safety reminder then it goes to a black screen that says it can't read the disc and to refer the the Wii Operations Manaul. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to fix it? I have other Wii games that work perfectly in Wii Mode. Thank you!!!

Did my Seagate External Hard Drive die?

March 12, 2016, 8:54 pm

Alright, so the past month or two we've been having issues with accessing the external hard drive.  Turns out, what I thought I ordered ( Seagate STBV1000100) was actually apparently the older model (Seagate SRD00F2). 

 

Now we had used this hard drive for about a year before we saw any of these issues.  It is externally powered but I am running only a single usb cable (not a y).

 

I can look at the HD on my wii, but when I'm trying to acess data or download new games onto it, it's giving me errors.  A few easy questions to see if it's worth my time to keep trying to use this HD or if I just need to get a new one.

 

1.) Do you think I would benefit from trying a y cable?  I don't currently own one so I'd have to go out and get one.  However, as I stated, this HD is already externally powered.

 

2) Do you believe that the issues I'm seeing are a result of slight incompatiability since it is the older model (bare in mind though I did buy it brand new in box about 13 months ago).

 

3) Am I hopeless trying to avoid spending money when it's obivious that my hd is currently nothing more than a black paper weight with a small blue LED on it.

 

4) Do any of you have a recommendation for a HD?

 

5) If a train leaves Pittsburgh Pennsylvania traveling 60mph and another train leaves chicago traveling 45 mph, how quickly do you think I can resolve this issue before I take it outside and smash the hard drive with a ball peen hammer.

 

Thanks for any help any of you can give me!

Best input mode for Wii U?

I have a samsung TV and for the hdmi input it has the following options...

VCR, DVD, Cable STB, Satelite STB, PVR STB, AV Reciever, Game, Camcorder, PC, DVI PC, DVI, TV, IPTV, Blue-Ray, HD DVD, DMA

 

I'm guessing to go for standard or game. Although PC is a little to light it does put it to the proper screen resolution, as I noticed the PC option didn't let anything be cut off on the menu screen.

 

It's so confusing. I want the right input that's closest to the intend look of the game. What options do you use?

Error Code: 150-2031

I need some serious help. I have had my Wii U for 3 years and until last year, has been working perfectly. It started off as an occasional error message, only coming up when my game went through some loading screens. But now, it won't even PLAY a Wii U game. Wii games work perfectly with no error but Wii U games just appear as an "Invalid Disc". The only game it successfully loads is Scribblenauts: Unmasked, and trust me, that gets boring after a while. Now, I bet your going to say the methods that fix it most of the time, they don't work for me. Luke warm water and dish soap? No. Peanut Butter? No. Toothpaste? No.I tried everything and my last bet is to send it off to Nintendo, which I doubt will work. I need some help and if ANYONE has any good answers forr me, that would be the best thing in the world. If not, I'm just going to sell it.

I've never had problems connecting to the internet with my Wii U before and I haven't changed the router. This week I was playing smash bros for wii U online normally and the next day the console refused to connect when trying to update the game, showing the following message: "Unable to find a Wi-Fi network". My laptop and 3DS work connect as usual. I have tried power cycling the modem, the Wii U,  adding a new connection, setting the connection manually, verified SSID and password, but nothing has worked. I tried searching for the error code (103-1605 and 103-1606) without success. How can I solve this problem?

I just recieved a new Wii U and when it turns on it goes to a user select screen. When I press the sync button on this screen it does nothing. Is my sync button broken or is it only possible to sync once I'm past this screen? If so, how do I get passed this screen without my gamepad.

Wii U crashes when entering Wii Menu

Hi guys,

 

whenever I enter the Wii Menu on my Wii it crashes within 0-10 seconds. Sometimes it will crash before making it to the menu, and other times just after accessing the menu. I have tried multiple things - plugging it into other TVs, plugging and unplugging, turning off an on, turning the internet off and on, having a game in or out, nothing works. Not sure if it is a software problem or what. It hasn't always done this, only started happening about a month ago. I heard a rumour it can happen when downloading illegal content or something but we haven't downloaded anything illegal, only bought content for Wii U games. Not sure what to do.

So I have a downloaded version of wind water hd, but I've decided I'd rather have a physical copy since it has the cool golden finish on the case. My question is, will I be able to access my save data when using the disc, or will that save data only be available if I use the downloaded version? Any input is appreciated, thanks in advance guys
