wii u flashing red light when turning on sometimes

[tmlfan]

when i try googling the issue all i get is the red light of death as results but i dont think that is my issue

basically sometimes when i turn my wii u off the red light starts to flash and the white light on on all the time, i understand the white light is supposed to mean that there is a disk in the drive but there isn't, when i go to turn the wii u back on if the red light is flashing i have to power cycle the system then about 95% of the time it turns right on, the other 5% i either have to power cycle a few times or leave it for a few minutes and try again, once the system starts it runs flawless

Do you think it could be an overheating issue? http://en-americas-support.nintendo...-i-keep-the-console-clean-and-free-from-dust?

No I don't think it is, it only has the issue when turning on and it doesn't do it all the time, once it turns on you can play it all day
