I turned it on one day and after like 5 minutes the screen turned black, and the power light wouldn’t stop flickering on and off, even after I unplugged it. Now it survived for long enough to get to the finale of ME3 and then… poof. Shame, really. I wanted to see the ending of that game.
Eventually. Nintendo Customer Service has usually been great, but I’ve heard that others had this problem and Nintendo was charging them up into the hundreds of dollars range just to fix it, and I don’t have that sort of money for a system with 3 good games.

Literally one of the best things. Can’t wait… if my Wii U wasn’t broken.
Nintendo really needs to increase their build quality on these things.
