Wii U GamePad Power Issues (Orange LED)
Wii U
What to do
- An orange LED indicates that your Wii U GamePad is charging. This does not mean that the Wii U GamePad will turn on immediately. It may take up to fifteen minutes of charging before the Wii U GamePad turns on.
- If the Wii U GamePad will still not charge in the Wii U GamePad Cradle, please contact us for support.
- It takes 2 1/2 hours to fully charge the Wii U GamePad (this time will increase if the system is being used while it is charging).
- Once charged, the Wii U GamePad will remain charged for 3-5 hours (battery duration differs depending on the brightness setting of the screen).
- If everything seems to work, but the Wii U GamePad continues to have charging issues, ensure that the outlet you are plugging the Wii U GamePad into is not controlled by a switch that may be getting turned off at some point during the day or night.
