Help! My wii might be frozen?

[sipherx]

Just put it in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds that should thaw it out pretty good, then try connecting. It worked for me. Seriously...

I am connection to the wii shop and its been at the Connection. Please wait spot for 5-7 minutes, the ball is still moving so its not frozen, but its been a long time and i tried to shut it off but it wont let me.. Help!

Same thing happened to me. I left in alone for 30mins with nothing and had to unplug the power cord... not something I wanna keep doing.
