Topic: Wii U makes clicking/ticking noise when yellow light at night

So, just looking for advice. My Wii U has been making a clicking noise at night whenever the yellow light comes on. Notably, this has been since disconnecting it from HDMI, and I don't hear it during the day.
Any advice? Really don't want this system to die.

On mine the light is more orange than yellow, I'd say. The light indicates the Wii U is communicating with Nintendo servers, I believe. I don't know for sure, but I suspect it's for stuff like checking for updates, sending activity data etc. Happens every night I think.

Do you have an external hard drive? If so, check it's not that clicking rather than the console, as I think the process includes some kind of ex.hdd scan.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Yeah, I have an external hard drive. The light is most definitely yellow though.
