    Wii U Console Flashing Blue Light of Death

    Hi,
    Not sure if this is the best place to ask this but can anyone help with a Wii U BLOD fault?
    When power is connected to the console it shows a solid red light, when the power button is pressed the DVD drive cycles and the LED flashes blue (no pattern, just continuous flashing). There is no video output on HDMI or component, I don't have the gamepad but others report the console loses connection to the gamepad when it happens.

    I've searched various gaming forums/youtube and this seems to be a common problem. The people that have had it have been told to return the consoles to nintendo for service and some have said that Nintendo reported it as a 'hardware fault'. Some speculated that it results from a failed firmware update (apparently the console can silently update itself while in standby mode).

    If anyone can help with this it would be greatly apreciated.
Working...
