Dude, learn to spell and make sentences coherent. I felt my IQ go down by reading that...

when i first got it a had a few problems with it freezing up so much that it needed to be unplugged, this happened twice in the first week, but since then its been fine, so i guess it wasnt a major problem

I have this screen that says wii system files are corrupted and every time a message gets posted on my message board this error screen comes on and I have to reset it.I looked in the manual and it said to go to nintendo.com so I went there and they said I had to register and I thought forget it so someone tell me how to fix it if you know how.

Call Nintendo

I have only had my Wii for a few days, but already began having issues with the wii-motes. I searched this forum and saw some suggestions to lay the Wii horizontally - and that fixed my issue. My only concern now is that I thought the Wii was made to be able to sit vertically in the cradle - why the issues?

Can someone please tell me exactly where you are reporting your individual issues to Nintendo? Is it directly via their site? Thanks much -

Thats really odd... try turning the wii on with the wiimotes connected and then put it in the vertical stand. If they quit working, you might have a bad connection in your wii. Vertical vs. Horizontal really shouldn't affect the Bluetooth. I do know that putting it in the horizontal position does keep it cooler during gameplay though.

I took my Wii to my parents' house and it has cut off randomly 3 times. It doesn't go into standby, it goes completely dark. I will unplug it and plug it in and no luck. Is anyone else having this issue? Is it a power issue? Faulty Wii? Any help would be appreciated.

I got my Wii (finally) this past Wednesday. Everything seems fine so far(no frezzing,overheating...etc),my problem is with the Wii Remote. The pack-in batteries(maxell) only lasted about an hour. When I initially turned the system on I couldn't get the cursor to move on the screen,I tried everything. I finally got it to show up by holding the Wiimote on its left side...it to this day does not work any othe way and still not very well. I went to a local gas station and picked up 4 Energizer e2 batteries,these lasted me a total of about five hours(they only showed half charge when new). I then bought a new battery charger and 2 2100 mAh NimH rechargeables,charged them overnight,woke up,put them in the remote....no power at all. I am certain the remote is screwed but am waiting it out trying to find one locally and return the faulty unit. I just posted to see if anyone has any idea what is wrong with the thing? I searched google quite a bit but never found anyone in a similar situation though.

if you don't know yet, the highest NiMH rechargeable batteries i've found around is 2650mAh, made by Duracell. i bought a 4-packs the other day, and i already had a charger (old one i got with the 1800mAh batteries, but Duracell told me it still work, but the charging process will take longer since they have more mAh.)

no problem with my Wii yet, i organized a videogames party, it was yesterday (Saturday), and it was mostly a Wii party, i remember when we synched our Wiimotes, i got to be the 2nd player, but in Wii Sports, i was the 4th player, lol! (it wasn't my Wii by the way, a friend took his, because he have Bomberman and we tried it at 5-players )

Sweet. I had a halo party 2 weeks ago and we had 4 tv's, 4 xbox 360's, 3 copies of Halo 2, though we only had 10 people... As for rechargeable batteries, i have the 2500mah energizers, they last quite a while and charge really fast, and i have extras forwhen a set dies. I want a bumper sticker that says: "PS3 can suck my Wii", just a random thing to add...

My problem is weird, its something to do with the wii remotes and freezing.
For some reason, when i quit the Mii channel the screen turned black and acted like the Wii was off, so were the remotes. Im not sure if it is because i inserted the Wii play disk or what. Its happened about 10 times.

yeah when entering/leaving a channel, the screen was black longer than usual.

i think it had something to do with the download of the messages on your messages board or the Miis being received from other Wii users and loaded in the Mii channel

Yeah...whenever my screen goes black longer than usual...a new msg pops up or a new mii for me

that's because the Mii channel need to display the new Mii(s) you received before you see the channel.

The only game I own is Twilight Princess, so it could be a malfunction with the game, but here it goes:

At random time, I won't be touching the control stick at all but my character will wander off in another direction. It's like on N64 and GameCube, where if you move the control stick while it's starting up the character will go in the way you tilted it, but I've consciously left it completely motionless and this problem will randomly occur, even after I've played for a while. I have two controllers, and this problem has occurred with both controllers.

I've had that every now and then, to solve it i just unplugged the nunchuck and then plugged it back in, only happens on LOZ though
