Ok thanks! I'm just gonna take a photo of it and then go to a shop and show them and they will lead me to it hopefully.

LMAO, knives have worked for me. Don't do it if you still have the warranty, though.

I don't, I'll try a knife haha.

My Wii U doesn't function properly (constant yellow light) and the problem started a month after the warranty expired. Add to that the idiocy behind underpowering the USB ports, toss in how the original 3DS are quite flimsy (mine literally broke), and I can't at all say I agree anymore.

Sorry I headed off after posting the pic, the best thing for that would be a set of small precision screwdrivers, you know in all honesty you don't need to go to a specialized shop for them now even, since they're used in so many things you can find them in a 2euro store here for.... well 2euro for a pack of them, really handy to have around the house too. A good investment heh!

I FIXED IT!!!

I don't even know how but i got a screwdriver and it didn't work unscrew it so I was about to give up so i put the power cord in one last time and i clicked the power button repeatably and it turned on.

OMG :D

cool.  glad you don't need to ship it and pay that price. good job.  nice resolution though, it happens.  

Great news but still rather strange, did you change the CR2032 battery inside the wii-u or just take it out and put it right back in? If so did you check the time/date settings of the system when you got it started, have they reset back to default? I hope your console is perfect now but it might still need a new battery or so just to make sure you aren't faced with this red light again down the line. Fantastic that it isn't anything so serious that can't be fixed at home though from the sounds of it :)

What a roller coaster of emotions!
