Wii screwed up!

Mie did that once, I unplugged it just like you and it's been fine ever since.

My Wii has frozen 1 time. This was earlier today while loading Wii sports. After I 'A' at one point it went to black screen not to return. I held the power button down and the Wii turned off. Turned it back on and played with no problem.

I would not suggest simply unplugging the power cords from the back at any time. This frys Computer power supplys and possibly other parts (rare but it happens) so I have to assume it would do the same to the Wii, which is nothing but a small computer with propriatary software, hardware and input devices. So yeah, dont risk it. If you are frozen just hold the power button for a few seconds to shut down. Then restart as normal.

me too... hold the power button in though

is it not common sense that pulling cords is a back-up?

More of a last resort.

I work internet tech support..... sadlly its the first thing people do when they want to turn off the computer and cant get to the start button. Even worse some people do this on a daily basis "I just thought it was an easy way to turn it off"

well i pressed the power button but it didn't work (i may not of held it for long enough?) and in the wii booklet that comes with it, it says "to remove av cable and plug back in and start up in 5 minutes" or somthin like that. and it's good to know that it's not only me and thnx for the feedback!
