Nintendo Wii U Gamepad Won’T Charge: Troubleshooting Guide

Nintendo Wii U GamePad Won’t Charge: Troubleshooting Guide

Is your Nintendo Wii U GamePad refusing to charge? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. At Salvation Repair, we offer a limited lifetime guarantee on all parts and labor, and our expert technicians are here to help you troubleshoot the issue. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the possible causes and solutions to get your GamePad up and running in no time.

Cause 1: Faulty AC Adapter

Power issues can sometimes be caused by an AC adapter that needs to be reset. Try unplugging the adapter from both the console and the wall outlet. Wait for at least 90 seconds to allow the adapter to fully reset.

Unplugging the AC adapter

Plug the AC adapter back into the Wii U GamePad and wall outlet. If this doesn’t work, try using a different charger to rule out any issues with the adapter.

Cause 2: Dirty Charging Port

The GamePad might not be getting a clean connection with the AC adapter. Check to see if the port is clean. Does a charger sit flush against the bottom edge? If it sits at an angle or has a loose fit, the port itself may be clogged.

Inspecting the charging port

Use a flashlight to inspect the port and clean it out with a soft brush or a can of compressed air. You can also use a precision cleaning kit to ensure the port is free of debris.

Cause 3: Faulty Battery

If the charger works and the charging port is clean, it’s likely that the battery can’t hold a charge, especially if the GamePad won’t turn on. In this case, you may need to replace the battery.

Replacing the battery
