Had a similar problem once while on youtube, I was watching a video when the screen went black, the speakers screached for a second, then the left one (i think) stopped working and the right one was working but was extremley quiet.
I unplugged it and everythings fine.

Ever since my 2 week ban, Miiverse just doesn't have that same appeal to me as it once use to. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Everything seems ok, from what I can tell. I dont think 4 drops of 95% alcohol is hazardous. I think the worst thing that could happen is if it shorted out from being wet still, but I let it sit for over an hour so I think I'm in the clear.

Hi guys, this is my first post here.
I'm not sure if what I have here would be classified as a 'defect' or just me being picky, so with that in mind I'm going to discribe to you my issue.
My D-pad seems... faulty? Let's say I'm playing NSMBU, I like the classic feel so I use the D-pad instead of the analog stick, anyway, I'll be running in the right direction with my thumb fully pressed down. Everything works fine. But when I ease off the pressure just a bit Mario stands still even though my thumb is still technically holding down the right arrow, but goes back to normal when I apply more pressure. I have also noticed this issue in the other directions as well, even at the Wii U home screen. Though it seems the right arrow is giving me the most trouble, followed by the down arrow, and then the left and up arrows are about the same. To me it sounds like I'm being picky, but I did just buy a $350 system and I would hate for it to be defective so that's why I'm here asking.
Also I added about 2-4 drops of rubbing alcohol into the D-pad's right arrow (This has fixed a button on my phone in the past), but had no luck here. Speaking of which, is that hazardous to the gamepad or any internal components? I applied the alcohol and waited about 70 minutes before I powered the console back on......
So yeah just concerned about gamepad....
Any input about the D-pad would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks.

It could be slightly out of place, I recommend you continue using it see if it gets sorted out or if the problem becomes worse. At this point I don't think it's worth returning or opening up.
Alright thanks, as for the alcohol I mentioned in my first post, no harm done?

Thanks for the input so far. I'm split between these 2 options it looks like, I could return it to walmart, but I would lose all my data including Nintendo ID.
Or I could open the system and re-position the contact pad.... I found a video on Youtube and it looks pretty easy. He takes the entire thing apart, I would only have to remove like 1 or 2 things heres the video if you think I could do it.

I could more than likely swap it for another system at walmart but is it really worth it?
And how could nintendo tell if I open the system? Like is there a way they know without a doubt?

I'll post a video of my problem...after watching the dissasemble video I realized I don't have Y screw driver -.-.
So thats out f the question, unless, these are easy to aquire.
*EDIT* So the first 3 times I tried to upload the video it said an error has occured, then I tried the basic uploader, it told me you aren't permitted to upload this kind of file...
Any suggestion? I believe it's in MP4 format... it's only like 40mbs

I think I know what your talking about, you can press it down normally until it clicks and nothing, you have to apply full pressure for it to work, is this right?
Well, kinda, I'll press it down and it'll click and go in that direction, but if I release a little pressure he stops moving even tho my thumb is pressing down the arrow.
But yeah what you said is the closest so far.

Yeah that's what it looks to be, I should have stated this off the bat but I didn't want to write any other possibilities off.
ps. I like your avatar.
I just find it odd that some directions require less pressure than others.
Can you relate to this as well?
And thanks, 2 of my favorite things.

Ah I think I know what's going on, the buttons are digital and not pressure sensitive which requires full contact. In other words you have to be completely pressing down all the time.
So would this be considered normal behavior?
I'm being picky more less?

So speakers, vibration motor, things of that nature weren't affected negatively by it? Just trying to make sure I didn't screw anything up.If it did any damage it would have shown instantly.

I think the admins are actually starting to learn from their mistakes, why do I say that? Well I'm about 7 days into my 2 week ban and since then the 2 pictures I drew that were removed by administrator are now back on my page and visible. Maybe the admins decided to ready the code of conduct for themselves!

Would you all mind reporting the following 3 people: DisturbedLUNE34, TrollacityINC, Paramore 123.
These 3 people are all troll buddies, they constantly make unessicary comments and report me and other peoples drawings for no reason.
