do you have standy downloads turned off in the options?
No, but it's not actually downloading anything as far as I can tell.
Yeah I could be wrong, but I think that's what it's like for me too. I don't pay attention, I just shut it off. It's orange for a little bit but then it does go white. Doesn't bug me.
You mean red?

It means Marcan is probing to see if his hack works on updated Wii U, lol. I do what I want and then shut off and unplug.

That explains why Nintendo didn't put it in the manual. It would be filtered. :lol:
Lol, I made a mistake xD
Uh what? No

Blue = Powered On
Orange = Standby
Red = Powered Off
Black = Nothing. it means you don't have your WiiU plugged into the outlet :/
If Red = Powered Off, the why is the red light on and why does the wii remote's power button work?

It's kinda like when your TV still responds to your remote control's request to turn back on. It's "off" but it still draws a very, very minimal amount of power. It all depends on what your definition of "off" with many modern electronics. If you look at it you're way, there's just no way to really turn the Wii U off without unplugging it ... which doesn't really count. In that case I'd say the "black" light should just be interpreted as "power failure" instead of "off."

Yeah, there's many ways...
