Hardware Wii U yellow stand by light.

[Magnus Hydra]

Is there anyways to turn off the stand by mode or what ever it's called? I have my Dns set so the Nintendo addresses are blocked but when my system is turned off it will turn on with a yellow light and the USB HDD light will flash. This happened to me back when I had an older moddable version and it automatically updated even though I have it turned off. Anyinfo would be great.

If you have update-blocking DNS set it obviously won't update any title, just sync miiverse and spotpass notifications

You can turn off "standby functions", that's the name you're looking for, or reduce the frequency to reduce HDD wear from the official system settings
