note that the speaker in the Wiimote is really cheap, some peoples even think of opening their Wiimote and replace the speaker in it for a better one (with the help of a Triwing screwdriver)

Bought a Wii on Monday. It worked for two days. Then the Wii controller lost it's connection to the console when I plugged in the nunchuk and wouldn't sync back no matter what. Brought the Wii back to the store and demanded my money back. But then they talked me into taking a replacement console which they didn't have. So I gotta wait for who knows how long till they get more Wii's in stock. And there was me thinking it was only Xbox 360's that had issues. Maybe I should have taken my money back after all and splashed the cash on my trusty Xbox 360.

That's really really unlucky mate really bad luck. I wouldn't be so hasty with the 360 thing, just wait until stock rolls in and the wait will be worthwhile.
As for the speaker thing sure its not the best quality in the world but I wouldn't say its THAT bad. I find it fine for games like Zelda and Wii Sports. As for that guy with the bad problems with the speaker, how far away from the TV are you? I think distance has an impact on the quality....

That's interesting, the same thing happened to my sister's Wii, I think she unplugged everything then reconnected it all and it seems to work fine now.

I guess patience is a virtue, or so they say. And anyway, I don't think I want to give up on Nintendo just yet. I've had all their past consoles without any problems. So I'll give the Wii another chance. And another chance after that if need be. No more chances after that though, at least I think not.

The best way to get a replacement Wii is though Nintendo. Since they are the manufacturer, they always have some in stock to send out as replacements. They send it with free shipping and everything. Mine came REALLY fast.

Well to be honest I really don't want to mess around inside all three of my Wiimotes and I want to know why all three of my Wiimotes are making crazly sounds instead of the sounds they should be and why none of my friends are having this problem and they also have three Wiimotes each.

It sounds to me like there is some kind of interference...

the wii mote doesn't get sound by the infrared, it gets it via bluetooth. that wireless transmitter might cause interference if it is 2.4ghz, disabling that device or any nearby bluetooth devices might help

what you hear is the tray motor i think, the "wheel/rolling carpet"(?) that feeds the disc in and out of the dvd drive.
i always leave a disc inside my Wii, so it doesn't make sounds when powering it on or turning it off

It is a normal sound for not having a disc in

when you turn on the Wii without a disc inside, yes it's normal.

Emailed nintendo as well, but not really expexting an answer for a while. I think the graphic processor is defective.Here are links to a few pics of the artifacts.
I am also experiencing this little video problem They appeared christmas day, I tryed another set of cabels but it didn't work they were still there. they are little lines on the menu that flicker in and out, they also appear in need for speed carbon alot, but in carbon they appear as white dots all over the screen, usually when there is fog or smoke. I have also seen them in mario bros on the virtual console as white dots at the screen between levels. i haven't tryed many of my NGC games but the seem to appear in sonic adventure battle 2 this really sucks I'm definatly going to have to contact nintendo support.
PS. they are definatly not burnt out pixels as the appear on my friends tv in the same spots. |
Hi - I am having the same problem with the dots. What is the fix ? Did you guys send it back to N.. What should I do?
Thanks
