    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.

    Elitebooks (820, 840 etc. all gens) and those continuously flashing Power LED + flashing CapsLock LED

    As the Elitebooks (820, 840 all gens) only show flashing Power LED and flashing CapsLock (continuously) + a very soft "ticking" noise near the DC Jack,
    I wonder if re-flashing the BIOS might be of any use here.

    As far as I understood, steady flashing either means insufficient power or a CPU/GPU/Motherboard issue. I use the original 65watt power supply.

    There are so many threads out there, but most of the solutions involve flashing codes, which I dont have or claim that you MUST use the original power supply, do a hard reset, reseat the RAM, clean the RAM,...
