Faulty Wii? Hardware issues?

[bangulo]

1. It's not an old house, but it isn't brand new either. It was built in the mid 90s I believe.
2. Yes. It went out yesterday afternoon.
3. I have no idea. I didn't even think about a power outage messing up the console. It never effects anything.
4. Yes. My Wii is plugged into one of the large extension cables with around eight additional plugs. There are only three things plugged into it though, including the console.

my cuz had the same situation like you his power went out in the house and back on and he thought it was broken and just left it sitting for a month and when he tried it again it mysteriously worked agian. i am not sure if the wii has some kind of voltage protection like a power supply on a pc and it resets over time or what but try unplugging for a few hours and try agian who knows

this worked with my gamecube and my dreamcast, just stopped because of the power turning off and on, now i got em back out after a few months and they works fine

I think I have the same problem. It was working fine, but then it stopped working during the games. It works on the menu screen but once you start to play it doesnt work. Someone please help.

I have the same problem as you and Zelda. My wiimote works fine on the menu even on the wii sports menu but then when i go into a game it stops working. I don't understand why because when i did boxing to test it out, the nunchuck worked but the actual wiimote still was not working. there has to be something wrong with the wiimote i just dont know what.. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

So I got my wii on release date in canada, and until now have not had any major problems with it. But now 7 months later and my wii remote has a major problem. At first I thought it may have been the intec battery pack I had been using but after replacing the charge pac with fully charged panasonic batteries, it still is not working properly? The pointing system works fine however when it comes to games such as wario ware or say wii sports bowling where you have to swing and/or tilt the wii remote it does not work what so ever. What do I do call nintendo? ship it in?

Hey dilldog all that means is you are connected to the internet it's like standby mode it's harmless.

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, but there I wanted to ask if anyone had noticed the same thing as I had. Every once in a while, my television gives a crackling noise like static whenever I'm using my Wii. I'm curious if anyone else had noticed this as well. I'm just afraid it might lead to something worse. Thanks in advance!

I would check your wires..that plug into the TV and if not checj the slots and see if they are damaged in any way.......I had a dog chew on my wires..and it did that..

[naisatoh]

Thanks for the info. I didn't see any damage in the cables. I'm not even sure if the noise is coming from the speakers or coming from the screen itself. I've found it only happens when I'm at the Wii menu. It doesn't occur when I'm in the middle of a game, but noise comes back when I re-enter the main menu.
