1. Go to and select your region.

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.

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

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???

My Wii no longer loads games. It will allow me to go to the main screen and use applications, but if I insert a disk, the Wii will stop working and a message about turning the Wii off, ejecting the disk, and reading the manual will appear. It will load neither Wii nor Gamecube disks. It used to make semi-loud clicking noises when loading Wii disks (and sometimes not load), but it never had a problem for GC disks until now. Anyone know whats wrong?

Wii would not turn on

I had to unplug it and plug it back in to get the power light on when i hit power it just cut off. I figured out the problem my sisters kids ripd out the usb. I just seperated the brass prongs and it works again.

Hi there, I'm new here.

Today I turned on my Wii to play the New Super Mario Bros and low and behold, BOTH my Wiimotes will not connect to my Wii. No flashing LEDs on both remotes...nothing.

I called Nintendo and they did some troubleshooting with me. They are asking me to repair it. Since I live close to a repair shop, I can do a walk in.

The only thing that sucks, is that I bought the system December 2nd, 2008, and look what day it is today, December 9th, 2009! 7 days out of warranty and they still want to charge me!

If I do go in, i'll beg them to be nice and cover it under warranty if they can.

Before I send it in, anyone have tips on how to get my remotes working again?

Edit - The sensor bar does work.

Just swapped over to the component cable for my wii. Really impressed with the difference it made especially on Cod mw.
Problem is the component cable highlights the fact that the graphics card on my wii is on its way out.Different colour pixels appearing all over the screen. Ive done my research and its definitely the problem.
Just wondered if it can be repaired by a 3rd party(warranty expired)
or should I just bin it?
Many thanks
PS If I replace my Wii would I lose my ranking off CODmw or can it be saved some how to a memory card?

Wii Disc Error problems

Hi,

I have a Wii, and we're trying to play Wiifit plus which I got for Xmas, and it keeps coming up "unable to read disc". So I tried the other games, and I an getting the same report.

My Wii console is about a year and a half ago.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I just had the same problem, i found the solution in another thread, and the following seems to work for most people: Unplug all chords, from the wii and the wall, you can leave the tv connection plugged into the tv end. Leave everything unplugged for 5 mins to overnight, i left mine unplugged for about 20 min. Plug everything back in...turn on your wii. Hopefully it works, mine did. I went mad looking for the receipt all day after trying different plugs, plugging and unplugging, finally i decided to search online and woohoo! that did the trick!!!
