I've been over this thread and others. Does anyone have an idea?http://techforums.nintendo.com/thread/34736
I have the Mario Kart DLC and some saves for games like Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, etc. Could I move those to an external hard drive so I don't lose them? Also, I downloaded a game as part of registering for MK8. Will I lose that also?I've had that happen to me at times.
Here's what I did to fix my issue:
1. Reset the console to factory settings
2. Resync the Wii U GamePad
3. Turn off standby functions
4. Unplug and remove the system battery cell
5. Plug everything back in and boot
Should be fine after that.

If I followed your process, would I be able to just plug in the hard drive if I have the data moved to it and then continue my games? Or would I lose it? My song and I also have some time put in with Skylanders Trap Team also. I cannot risk losing those things. I don't want to have Nintendo say, "You cannot download the game or DLC for MK8 again as you've reset your system." If anyone has information on this that would be helpful. Thanks for the reply also shinkodachi.
I don't know. Google it and you'll find that many have had the issue since a 5.x update. I don't want to factory reset because I am not sure I can plug in my hard drive and use it after the format.
necrobump, but iirc, you don't need the cmos battery for the console to boot.CMOS battery is dead. I replaced mine, problem solved.
On the right in the front is a small screw. There is the battery hiding.
You are right. I was to early with my conclusions. My Wii U still has the boot problem. First boot is with blue led so it appears to be on. But there is no video output or gamepad connection.necrobump, but iirc, you don't need the cmos battery for the console to boot.
