It is overheating and the fan is not spinning. How do I get it to spin?In all seriousness, check all vents and airways are free of dust and/or try another power unit.
Its either overheating or your psu is faulty
Nah. Are you dumb? Opening the "VOID" seals means losing repair warranty.try replacing the fan. I'd open it up anyway.
The person I borrowed it from has paid $600 for it. $300 for a motherboard repair.then, what do you expect to happen? it to magically repair itself. the wiiu isn't even worth having a repair company look at it. I mean the system by itself is like $60.
A fuckton. Third of above-average monthly wage.however much money that is in your country
Well. I don't know if it's non-functional. My dad is trying to spin it with a toothpick and it won't move. Not sure if that is intended or something is blocking.not sure what to do then. you can't make the fan spin if the fan is nonfunctional. I guess that could make it overheat instantly, but I doubt it. I know that the 360 for example, known for heating problems, can turn on with the fan unhooked. it will usually overheat within 2-3 minutes rather than instantly if that's what's happening with your wiiu.
Well, if the thing is under warranty and the sticker keeps you from opening the console, I'd return it as warranty case to whoever put that sticker there. It doesn't come with one from Nintendo.Nah. Are you dumb? Opening the "VOID" seals means losing repair warranty.
The one who let me borrow it doesn't wanna send it in for a third time.Well, if the thing is under warranty and the sticker keeps you from opening the console, I'd return it as warranty case to whoever put that sticker there. It doesn't come with one from Nintendo.
Sending it in or doing it yourself are your only options. The fan won't magically repair itself.The one who let me borrow it doesn't wanna send it in for a third time.
Maybe your friend should ask to get the money back.First time - Broken motherboard - $300 charge for repair
Second time - Broken HDMI port - Free, under warranty
