Hey all,

I am experiencing an issue with my Wii U system that had happened to 2 seperate systems now on me that have been replaced by warranty.

My new Wii U that I received about 2 months ago (as well as my original one) one day just decided to stop working. My gamepad worked as it usually does with no issue but the signal to my television had a pink tint and the display had waves and lines. The Nintendo HDMI cord, as well as other HDMI cords I have, will work on other devices such as my laptop but do not work on the Wii U system.

Upon troubleshooting I discovered that by changing the output from 1080p to 480p, i could get a clear but of course poor quality image on my television. But changing it to any other output setting does not work at all.

Yes I have tried this on more than 1 tv and as stated, with more than 1 HDMI cable. The only guess Nintendo cutomer service had was that my receiver that I had it running through may have caused the issue. That doesn't really sit right with me I want to be able to use my Wii U system with my surround sound so I am curious to see who, if anyone, out there has experienced something similar to this.

Any input is appreciated thank you for reading

Are you sure the TV is native 1080p?

some tvs dont support 1080p and they're only 720p so that might be the issue, if you know what the tv models are you can google it to see if they even support 1080p

try 720p and see if your tv picks it up then, if not contact nintendo because I'm not sure what else could be the issue

It's not a common thing, but it may be related to the TV. I had an old 51" Hitachi CRT RPTV that the colors over DVI were wonky in Wii Mode unless the resolution was dropped to 720p

My HDMI is set to 1080p works fine (3D Led TV)

 

Try to change the settings in 480p. Alternative try component cable.
