Lolll dat dust!

I still find it too strange to be the case. I'm pretty sure this thing always had dust for quite a while, yet it only stops working after the day I take the console out. Also, while there was A LOT of dust in some parts of it, the fan in the back was really clean compared to the rest. I dunno... I rebooted it and it didn't need me blowing it to work. I'm going to test it out now, try to get it on and running SSB and hopefully it won't let me down after 5 minutes (it shouldn't, but who knows).

If I really just fixed it like that - by literally blowing on it (and I didn't even try blowing too hard), this will have been the most awkward relief ever.

Yea well certainly let us know how it goes! Maybe what happened was that there was enough dust to keep the fan from spinning but when u blew on it, even lightly, it was enough to get the fan to move again! But obviously, idk for sure. For all we know, it may have caught something along the way like maybe a bug went into the vents or something! I do suggest cleaning the dust filter at the bottom of the wiiU when u get a chance cause that can certainly get very dusty and block the airflow. Just make sure when u blow on it, dont spit or else that might cause more problems (no sexual meaning intended loll)
