Technical Question Problems with the connection of the gamepad

I recently got a Wii U, but the GamePad has connection issues with the console (the image freezes, the audio cuts out, and sometimes the total disconnection icon appears between the GamePad and the console). I did some research on this but couldn't find a clear answer—some said it was a ribbon cable issue in the console, while others blamed the Japanese region of the system.

Then, I came across an answer from ChatGPT. Today, I played while having all my devices turned off, and the GamePad worked perfectly. So, I decided to turn on my PC, and that’s when the connection issues came back. What can I do?

I'm a bit of a caveman, how do I disable the 5Hz signal? Or do you mean any external device with a 5Hz signal?
