seems like the general idea is to call nintenedo with hardware faults, but i thought id log mine here and then i can also let people know the solution, if there is one.

bought SMG yesterday, and played it for an hour or so fine, then with it being new years eve, i moved the wii for the first time since i had it a good 4 - 6 months ago, i then se it up downstrais carried it myself so as my GF wouuldn drop it or do anythihng else dosey with it lol, so it got downstairs very comfortably, i then carried on playing super mario galaxy, fter that i urned i off everyone was a litle tippsy but no one got near the wii.

then at about 12:30 a few people decided to play wii sports, so my brother who has his own wii at his house ejeced the disc and put in the wii sports dics and recieved his error

"Error occurred. Press the Eject button and remove the disc. Turn the power off and follow the instrucitons in the console manual."

i ejected the disc an powered off the wii and unplugged i and left it ten mins a few times with the same error or all game discs

then all of a sudden it sarted playing games again, but now it is taking aaaaaagggeeesss to read them, lots of clunky cd reading sounds wii sports works but the music on the menu screens comes on about 2 mins after the menu screens load up and when you select tennis the screen goes black for 3 mins while it loads, much much longer than normal as if the cd is getting a lot of read write errors.

may try to call nintendo today but i doubt anyone will be there on new years day plus im in he uk and dont een know if here are any service centers here?

Wii and Internet

Well I have a problem I just can't shake. I just bought a Linksys wireless G router. The pc is wired and the Wii is wireless. When the Wii is not connected it works fine. Once I connect the Wii, both the pc and wii work for a while. Then after about 5 hrs or so, neither can connect to the internet. I updated the firmware for the router and it still didnt help. Thiis seems like a silly question but am i supposed to always leave the Wii on (seems like a bad idea). Thats the only other thing I have not tried. This has been happening for like 2 weeks now ever since I got the router. Once I delete the wireless settings for the Wii and restart the computer everything works again. Any ideas, PLEASE HELP, PLEASE!!!!

Ok, so here is one of my main gripes with the Wii Internet

I could almost NEVER get Internet reception anywhere. I tried everything, from turning the Wii, standing it and laying it flat down. None of them seemed to work.

So finally, I moved the Wii out of my cabinet and placed it on the coffee table in front of me.

I got better reception, but the Wii Shop won't load most of the time, and it's bugging the crap out of me.

So, I finally thought to myself, "It's gotta be the router!"

I looked at the router, turns out I am using a 2.4ghz!

Should I spring for the recommended router or keep this one? Will it help?

Thank you.

? Problem with Wii Sports & Message Board

Hello,

I have searched for the answer to this problem but can not seem to find it....I'm sure it is staring me straight in the face.

My problem is that Wii sports does not send messages to the message board when I get either high scores, records or medals.

It does send a message when I introduce a new Mii to the game and when doing the fitness game.

The game data is saving OK as when playing a sport it will show my high score.

Anybody else got this problem????? Its driving me mad

Black bar with strange characters

I've seen a problem a couple times on my system (once playing Guitar Hero 3, and the other time playing Playground).

A large black bar shows up on the screen and some ascii characters look like they get typed on in the bar over top of the game as it's being played. It doesn't cause the game to stop or anything, but it's a pretty annoying to try to play as some 3 inch tall characters are being typed over your game. I was wondering if it's some sort of software trace that was accidentally turned on.

Has anyone ever seen that? I took a picture of it during guitar hero if posting the picture might help diagnose the problem.

Problems with Wii Sports

I don't know if I am posting this in the right place but here goes...

Whenever I play the Wii Sports, the game only keeps track of scores for Bowling and none of the other games. Do we have a faulty game or did I miss something in the set-up? I want to keep track of anything but nothing ever gets saved except bowling...

PLEAS HELP!!

I have problem going into SETUP of my WII. Everytime I click in, they will prompt me:" You tried to access the address marc:JP/JP/JPN/index01.htm, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that..........

.Make sure your internet connnection is active and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection are working."

Without going into set-up I couldn't even configure my Internet connection. All I wanted to do to get into setup was just to update the time and date.

PLease advise how to deal with this???? Thanks!!!! LOST!!!

screen too bright

Hi. I got the Wii on Christmas. It worked fine until yesterday. I didn't change any settings or connections but the Wii Menu on the screen became so bright I can't even read the words. I tried adjusting the controls on the tv, but that does nothing. The tv still works fine with movies and cable, the problem is only with the Wii. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Sports Channel Disappearance

My sports channel disappeared on me and I'm not sure where it went. Has anyone had this problem? I've tried just rebooting the game system but that didn't do anything.
