Hello, maybe somebody here has the same issue as me. My gamepad keep turning on by itself after having the Wii U powered down for about 20 minutes. I get the message along the lines of "Move gamepad closer to the Wii U console" and it stays there for a while. I look at the Wii U lights and the power light is red (meaning the Wii U is off). Just to see, I set the input on my tv to the Wii U, and it shows that the Wii U is powered off (no signal at the input). If I leave it alone, eventually it will go away, but when I go to turn on the Wii U, the gamepad is dead and I have to either charge it or hook the charger directly to it and turn it on.
I looked and couldn't find this particular issue out there. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you and game on.
