Finally got our wii...one huge problem though...we cannot get past the "press A to continue" page when the wii turns on for the first time. we have tried prtty much everything we can thing of including but not limited to:
1) pressing A
2) resyncing the origional controller as well as the extra we bought
3) taking the entire set-up apart, placing it back in its original packaging and starting over again

Hello, I just got a Wii for Chirstmas today (Boy am I lucky.) Anyway, I played for a while, turned off the Wii, and went to go to dinner. When I came back, I put in a game, Trauma Center, Second Opinion, and everything was going good, until the game actually started, and I was unable to get the Wii-mote working. I restarted several times, but to no avail. I tried the Sync-ing thingy, with no positive reults. l also checked the batteries and sensor, nothin doin. When I press the Wii-mote, all four of the lights at the bottom flash for a while. Anyone got any clue as to whats goin on?

I Have been playing Twilight for like 2 hours and then i stopped for awile and then my mote had the same problem as previously said, WHAT IS THE DEAL

whats the syncing thing?

Absolutely loving my Wii, save for one problem. I seem to be encountering alot of freezes during Zelda that require me to hold down the power button for a few seconds to correct. Sure, I don't expect flawless gaming 100% of the time, but I've had 4 freezes/lockups for about 3 hours of play. This seems excessive to me. You can imagine how frustrating this is for someone who is just beginning to understand the logic behind the games's puzzles, like myself.

Honestly, I've never been a huge Zelda fan (please don't hurt me) but I very, very interested in what Twilight Princess has to offer. It sports a very intuitive control scheme and a storyline that I'm quite addicted to. Anyway, back to the problem at hand.

I've updated the firmware to version 2.0U (the latest one, I believe) and I haven't been able to correct the freezes. Neither the menus nor WiiSports have given me any troubles yet, and the Zelda disc itself is free of scratches and fingerprints. If anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it; I want to move out of the starter-towns!

My Wii worked for about 5 days, then I pluged it into a system selector, It still workeded. Then the next day all I get is a black screen. Even after I plug it directly into the tv, its still just black. I cant sync the wemote eather anymore. So to Nintendo it goes, I hope I get a new one back before you can buy them in plenty at any store.

Hi, I'm a nube. Can anybody tell me how to get at the data on my friend's SD card? My Wii is acting like its not even in there when I'm at Wii Memory, but it knows its there when I'm at the photo place.
Help?

DarkestKnight061 · 12-27-2006, 07:07 AM

Have you tried formating the card in the wii settings?

On the main wii screen.. you go to the wii messege bored, and go to create a letter, then go to your address book and it will tell you what your systems code is.

If the lights are constently blinking, then it seems like its still trying to sync. Mine was not connection properly with my wii, after removing the batteries, restarting the wii it worked fine.. make sure your batteries are good(even if they are newer the wii-mote seems to like to eat batteries). Also make sure that your sensor bar is set correctly; it should be in the middle of your tv, and straight so its bassically directly in front of you. My tv is caddy cornered so I had to adjust accordingly. Make sure you are syncing right.. first push the buttion under the battery cover on the remote, then turn on the wii and push the sync buttion under the sd slot cover. The lights will blink once when you push a buttion and the wii is not on, or if its not synced right
I hope you can get it working to enjoy your wii again!

Doesn't formatting the card delete all my saved game data?

My Wii was working fine and looked normal until a few days ago when it started to get this multi-colored vertical static effect on it and now it seems to be getting worse. It's not the game because it happens on all games and it's happening on the Wii Menu. Somehow the visuals are messed up. I've checked my video connections and they seem fine. It's not the TV either because it doesn't do it unless the Wii is on.

It looks as if someone scraped the screen.

It's difficult to get a picture of but it looks kind of like this:

Except not quite that bad and that much. It's in more concentrated areas.

I'm afraid it may be a problem with the GPU?

Any ideas?

first of all. try using another TV. If that still occurs, borrow a composite cable from someone else... if that still happens... CALL NINTENDO!

Skapple · 12-27-2006, 06:26 PM

I just now finished trying it on every TV in the house. Same problem.

I'm hoping it could be the input cables. I'm going to head to a friend's house and try using his cables to see if the problem keeps up.

TheRealMrDuck · 12-27-2006, 07:59 PM

Hi All,

I have finally managed to get my Wii to connect to the internet, but it's not behaving a little weird!!!

It downloaded an update, then restarted itself, then it would not reconnect. I went through the Connection setup process again, and it did Connect...and then started downloading another update?! It completed, restarted again and believe it or not would not reconnect, so I redid the setup again and it did connect. I have managed to Connect once to the weather channel , and once to the shop but it wont reconnect again? Is it normal to have resetup every time?

The other thing is I can no longer switch off the console from the remote? It just goes to some strange standby and the light turns orange. I can switch it off normally, but wondered if any one else has got a clue??

Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for the help
