After playing the wii this morning, i went to sleep because i didn't do so at the Target i camped at.. well, i just woke up a little while ago and when i went downstairs to look at my wii, the plue light was staying on! i was like, what the H? and just pressed the power button, then, i turned on the wii again about a couple mins later, and the shop channel needed to re=connect to the internet, so i am letting it do that right now.. but was this due to me turning it off while the blue light was on? does the light indicate that it is Downloading something.

I think so!

Yes it does. Spitfire and I have been messaging one another on our Wii's for the past half an hour or so, works great! Last message I received from him, the system was off and for some odd reason I was taking a couple pictures of it Anyway, the light came on dim, then got brighter... turned it on and sure enough, new message had arrived. It doesn't advertise that but I checked it and sure enough, it was the reason.

Thats exactly what happened I was messaging spitfire when I was taking pics
