Hardware Wii U turns off by its own?

[abda]

I was going to play Wiimifi with my friend and my Wii U turns off unexpectedly on its own and I cannot have a smooth experience playing it!!

I would test the power brick. I think that's the psu for the wii u. if that's not it, I'd see if it's overheating somehow. make sure the vents aren't covered. I originally had my wii u upside down, but it didn't harm it. I have it the right way now. it's been like that for a couple of years or so.

I tried an official ac adapter I recently found and it has been working pretty well till now

btw, the vents should be on top if the the system is vertical, which is how I made that mistake as my system is using the rubber feet or whatever. make sure the wii u isn't upside down where the vents are on the bottom. it's easy to make that mistake.

try another power brick.

Yes the official ac adapter I found works better than the 3rd party one I got, My Wii U isn't turning off anymore. Thanks! and I am using the Wii U rubber feet.

yeah, third party stuff works pretty badly sometimes with Nintendo consoles. after reading about issues with third party docks and the switch, I bought an official dock from Nintendo for around $90. my hackable switch is using it, but it's not plugged in. it's on the headboard above my bed. I don't plan on selling it at this time, and I don't want to hack any of my three switches. this one can be hacked without a modchip too, so I'm keeping it for now.
