HELP - simple question, please keep it simple

[Dannyg8810]

What's the main reason people don't think it's my electrics then? Is it the fact that the console goes a while before it ever happens?

Just call an electrician no one on here can give you a definite answer to what's happening so for your peace of mind check it checked

Telectrix means the supply.

So, I googled 'Nintendo Wii U shutting itself down.'

Country Selector at Nintendo - https://nintendoservicecentre.co.uk/support/wii/my-wii-shuts-off-on-its-own

This points to either unlicenced accessories or a damaged AC adapter causing the shutdown. When you exchanged the unit, did you change the AC adapter? Perhaps not.

In any event, I think this is certianly not an electrical problem to any longer concern the good burgers of ElectriciansForums with.

Hope all gets sorted out in the end!

EDIT: Plus what Danny said.

could even be a blip on the supply. we had one a couple ofweeks ago. power went off an dback on within a couple of seconds. wiped out the hard drive on my CCTV.

Would a supply blip affect everything in the house, or just in certain rooms of the house?

That link is for wii, not wii u. Incidentally though, nope I never had any unlicenced accessories on it.

The ac adapter could be a possibility though. I don't think nintendo replaced that, which is stupid if they didn't, if it's known to cause issues.

Logically, if the supply has a blip, it's the supply to your home. Everything would be subject to the blip. Computers and similar items (like clever TVs and recorders, etc) are more sensitive to such things.

In that case then I don't think it was a supply blip, because other devices upstaris, like my pc that I have on a lot of the time, remained on

I would go and buy an extension lead and power said gaming device from another socket...... And see what happens.

My knowledge is limited so I can't word it right.

Got an electrician coming tomorrow anyway
