I often hear that my Wii U is making these cracking/popping noises whether I'm playing a game or not, even a couple of minutes after I turn it off. Sometimes when I touch  the console it makes similar noises. It's not the sound of the disc spinning it is kinda like the sounds a TV makes but not that loud and with lower intensity. Everything works fine with it, there are no other problems. Is this normal or should I send it for repairs? Again, it's not the sound of the disc spinning.

If it's making cracking noises, even when it's not on, it kinda sounds like an electrical problem. But I can't be 100% certain. . Since I don't think I've ever seen anything like this happen, I'd recommend calling Nintendo. And then set up a repair if they deem that it needs to be repaired.

That's not normal. Are you sure it's the Wii U making the noises, or could it be the power brick or something else? If you can be sure that it's the Wii U then I'd recommend you contact Nintendo and/or send it in to them.

blow it out with air or vacuum it out.

sometimes dust can get in and make static.

Now if you hear a hummmm or buzz then you have a bad capacitor inside it.

not surprised to hear this, the WiiU doesn't seem to be as well put together as the previous Nintendo consoles, i think there is a problem with the screen on my pad & Nintendo have said it will take weeks to sort it out if i send it in !

 

it is not like my pad has had much use in the ten months i have had it with the none existent games lol

Yeah, this console seems kinda cheap... whish I could go back in time and wait for like a year when they start making good consoles with no problems. I will never ever buy a console at launch again. Anyway, I'll see what I can do.

is there any dust left  in your WII U ? in order to protect it and prolong its life , i advice u use a protector , such as Aluminum Finished Snap-On Hard Case Shell Cover for Nintendo Wii U GamePad to keep it clean and put it in a right place, when u use it u should give it enough room and let it release the heat

I don't understand, and it has nothing to to with the Gamepad, it's the Wii U that makes the noises.
