Faulty Wii? Hardware issues?

Smurf · 03-12-2007, 10:09 PM

Ok, I'll try the Wifi lol but does it have to be an official nintendo adapter or will a cheaper one do?

Wii_Smurf · 03-12-2007, 10:12 PM

I'd recommend a Nintendo one. You know what happened with the LAN Adapter lol

Amercian Wii Store If you live anywhere else Im sure you can change it

Smurf · 03-12-2007, 10:16 PM

Hahaha I know, but the lan adapter WAS an official nintendo one!! That's why I'm a bit wary lol

Hitting it again, it turned green, the screen shows absolutely nothing.

I've tried different inputs and 2 other TVs - the Wii turns on, DVD drive spins up, but the screen is completely black -

does anyone else have a similiar issue? There are no error codes reported;

/chris

the wii's processor most likely got burned.
its an issue when you have wiiconnect24 on all the time

You should always see two lights. They are built into the sensor bar. If you see no lights or one light then the sensitivity is too low for the distance you are playing from and if you see more than two then you are picking up other sources.

My little pointer goes everywhere, and sometimes wont stay still

also when i check the sensitivity, instead of 2 dots there are 4-7 random sized flashing dots.

Not good

What other things could be causing the interference?

Well I'm not super up on the technology but I understand the remote is sensitive to infrared sources not so much visible light so things like candles or even things that are hot but that do not necessarily give off visible light (warm spot on the wall where the sun has been shining?)can show up as a "light dot" when checking the sensitivity. My experience is that the remotes pick up on halogen lights more than incandescent bulbs. My experience is that when the remote is picking up on more than two "lights" the cursor is VERY jumpy.

Here goes.. The blue light in my wii disk port comes on in the middle of the night every other day. It like moves from left to right and blinks. I'll turn it off (gotta get sleep) and a red light comes on. I have reasons to believe my wii is possesed. Anyone know what's going on? (or know an exorcist?)

well, I guess your only option is disconnect the power supply from the wii.

Unless you are talking about the red light to be where the blue light is

FaithJordan94 · 03-21-2007, 01:15 PM

No it's red near the power button. Stupid wii... I think it hates me!

Hi everyone.

So I got a Nintendo Wii from the states and am having trouble getting it to work. I first used a travel adapter and that worked for about 2 weeks then it busted. I then used another travel adapter and it works but only for a few minutes and then my power goes out. So I bought one of those big step down voltage converters and it's doing the same thing as the last travel adapter. Oh, and with all three there have been these lines going across the screen. Ahhh, it's so frustrating, I just wanna play some damn boxing.

Does anyone have ideas as to what the problem is?

natejohnson7 · 03-29-2007, 05:50 AM

I have had the same problem with the power light turning on, but the system screen does not come up. I connected my wi-fi last night and went to play today and it won't work. The only way I could get it to shut off was to hold the power button. When I push the power again it comes on green but the screen is still blank.

MyWiiOwns! · 03-29-2007, 09:27 PM

I have had my wii for about a few months now and recently im noticing that whenever i play SSX Blur. While the game loads or something...the wii makes a fairly loud crackle noise. The game is reading fine (no freezes or anything) its just a loud crackle. I also have NFS:C and Zelda and they dont make that noise. Is there something wrong? Its a little loud and somewhat annoying. Is this normal? Has this happened to you? Is my CD drive broken? It only does it with this game.HELP
