My Wii Will Not Turn on

[jackus]

Mine froze once so i had to turn it off at the plug, when i switched it back on it wouldnt work. i left it for about 10 mins, everything unplugged, then it worked. apparently the wii has a surge protector which turns it off for a few minutes as protection.

my plug fuse went once as well, its very easy to change

My WII was running fine and never had a problem with not turning on until one day I turned off the power to the surge protector. Left it off for 8 hours and then from that point on I have to keep the unit unpluged for a period of time for it to work.

Still working out other situations that may or may not effect the unit.

this is really weird... i've posted this and about 7/10 times it solves it... i'm glad it worked
.

okay,i have a question, i just moved from hawaii and had my items shipped and when i got it, i checked my wii to see if it turned on and it did, and then for 5 months now i had it storaged in the building outside and it gets really cold down there, today i just took it out because i brought my tv in and i plugged it in and the red button isn't on or nothing, the plug is on and working but the wii isn't is it because it was in the cold? because i can tell its cold, should i just leave it to warm up for a bit and then see? not sure. thanks if anyone can answer this!

Okay so! 5 minutes ago I fixed the Disc won't spin problem on my own wii. As I should turn off the wii using a screwdriver I accidently hitted the power light and it wen't out instantly. Now it won't power up, is this problem similar to the other or did I just break my own wii? And By the way, I have GH: Metallica sitting in it now..

I have the same problem only on mine I have a usb battery charger for my controllers hooked up to my wii and those would always stay on. I have tried the things Gidget suggested and they did not work. Could that charger have drained the battery so bad that I would have to get a new one?

[DBloke]

If its always plugged in even if the Wii is off it will drain power from them



Also I took out the unnecessary posts keep friend code chat to the friend code section

So yes I need to get a new battery maybe?

Hang on miss read here (blame tiredness)
No power you say
Try taking it to a games shop (small time ones are best) and ask if they can get it to work on a different plug.
Failing that ask Nintendo to pick it up and fix it

Nothing wrong with your wii machine most of the time.
It was because you unplugged for a while.
Just unplug both ends of the power cable, and unplug any gamecube controller if you did. Wait for full 2 minutes, and connect one end to the wii machine and the other directly to the power source without using surge protector.

I got it from here.
