Hello everyone,
I purchased a Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle a few days ago and have noticed some strange charging issues with the gamepad. I'm using the dock to charge it and it will only charge for a short period of time before the red light goes out. I know it's not fully charged. Some advice I got was to unplug the power adapter for 10 minutes and then plug it back in. That works, but again it will stop charging after 5-10 minutes. It's annoying to have to constantly unplug it and plug it back in to keep it charging. I'm assuming the problem is with the power adapter but I'm not sure. I've tried a few different outlets with the same result. Also tried using a surge protector and no change.
Any suggestions? Has anyone else had this issue?
