1. Go to and select your region.
2. Make your way through the troubleshooting/repair guide (Under Wii Troubleshooting and Repairs)
3. To the right of the page is a section for "Power Problems". Follow that link.
4. Read all the steps, and if after completion your Wii does not work then find this phrase at the bottom of the page and click to start a repair ticket.



The process was really simple and straightforward for me. I hope this helps...
Hey JBagley, thanks for your info sharing. I should have seen your suggestion earlier. I just got a new Wii and throw away my broken one.

Default Wiimote drains batteries.

I bought a PSYCLONE brand rechargable battery that came with a usb cord to plug into the Wii and charge it. I used it on both Wiimotes and I think it may have messed them up. I bought some nice lithium Energizer batteries for it played for maybe an hour and went to play again 2 days later and both wiimotes batteries were totally dead. Has anyone else had problems with non nintendo hardware like this?

Here is my problem:
I bought my Wii around the time it came out and have had no problems till a few months ago. When my brothers were playing Mario Kart Wii, the Wii froze and now has the black screen of death. This consists of the Wii fully starting up but has a black screen on start up (plus the occasional frozen health and safety screen with no place to press an A button). I've tried researching and all the small non-invasive tricks but to no avail. The wiimotes and controllers work and nothing simple has not already been tried. I would just like to know if someone could tell me what I should do from here? I have contemplated the following:
1) Send it in to Nintendo for $75.
2) See if Nintendo caused it. For example, them and their firmware updates via Wii Connect 24 (which was activated on my Wii) perhaps could have caused problems.
3) Any other tips you guys have in terms of getting it fixed by another store.

I would just appreciate some guidance on what to do. I am not too tech savy so try to explain technical things to me if possible.
Thanks

I have had my Wii for about a year and half. Everything has worked fine besides a remote issue but Nintendo sent me a new one. Now all of a sudden it wont take the games. There is no game inside and when I try to put a game in it just wont take it. THIS SUCKS!!! If anyone knows how to fix this or any idea what the proplem may be PLEASE HELP! I love my Wii. I wasnt dropped or anything. It does not make any noise when I shake it like somthing is loose. So what could it be???
