Ok so my wii u was fine like month's ago but like in the beginning of september I was playing games like usual but then my Wii U Gamepad started saying that it has lost connectivity to the Wii U and I looked at the Wii U and it was flashing the red light on and off! So I asked this same question about in answers.yahoo.com but then all I got was responses like "try re-syncing it again" so I did and I thought THAT fixed it but it didn't. I also some forum with the same problem and they said that you don't stand up your Wii U like a regular Wii but just lay it flat, they also mentioned how it has cooling fans so I tried just laying it flat, but some people said that it could be from clogged up air vents so I fixed that with the vacuum cleaner and tried playing again but this is red flashing light problem is still happening!

'''NOTE: This is not like the blue light flashing problem on when you barely turn on your Wii U and the blue flashing light flashes right on and off. My problem is that I can play it normally but then after a couple of mins the Wii U shuts down and you know the rest.'''
