Hello, I recently was trying to playing Gamecube games on my wii. I put the
memory card in Slot A and it couldnt read it but Slot B could. My firends
Gamecube reads my memory card. But since slot B reads and Slot A dosent, Slot B
cant read the data while playing the game so wohat should i do? I cant return
the system to the store since I have Tons of Mii's and 50$ worth of Virtual
Console games, which i wont get back with my returned console.
I have read the Wii warranty and i HAVENT bypassed it in anyway I also have a 4
year Warranty and a reciept.
Thank You for your help.

While it sucks that they sent you a canned response,,, have you considered calling them?

 

[The_Loose_Cannon]

ah thats a great "universal" answer that they gave you there

its like they completely ignored your question and stuck up their trouble shooting techniques.

i say Email them again (that is if the response time was fast) and state that youre capable of trouble shooting, its the fact that you want to have your wii serviced without losing everything that you downloaded

k will do. This will be the 3rd emial.:mad5: Same thing happended all 3 times.

[laderer5]

it works on gamecubes but doesnt work on my wii

I would just call them, don't send anymore emails, is like they respond you back without even looking your email. just call them, I'm pretty sure they will help you over the phone.

"by calling 1-800-255-3700. Representatives are available to set up your repair between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time, seven days a week."

my brother's wii had to go in, from day one the disc drive would mess up on wii games (not gamecube games) He paid nothing, as they send you a label to ship it out. He got it back pretty quick within like two weeks and the wii was the same console with all of the same downloaded content and mii's and works great now!

Sounds like your wii needs to be sent in. Now is the memory card a nintendo brand or an off brand? Maybe the wii doesn't like the off brand cards.

N-Sider: Is it true that if someone who, in the course of warranty repair, opts for advance replacement and obtains a refurbished system with a new serial number, their rights to the Wii Shop downloads they already paid for are lost forever? What about their remaining, paid-for Wii Points?

Nintendo: Consumers who wish to retain downloaded games, Wii points or any other Virtual Console content are offered the repair option. Advance Replacement is only offered when the consumer indicates Virtual Console content is not a consideration.

N-Sider: If someone opts to send their system in for repair instead, and the repair depot finds their problem unfixable and gives them a refurbished system instead, will their right to their paid Wii Shop downloads and/or Wii Points be transferred to the second system?

Nintendo: When a consumer sends their system in for repair we ensure that their Virtual Console account remains intact, whether we send the original hardware or a remanufactured system back to them.

N-Sider: If someone acquires a different Wii console down the road—after their warranty expires, or perhaps just because they want a different color console, will they have any option for transferring their right to paid Wii Shop downloads or Wii Points to the new system?

Nintendo: The consumer can contact Consumer Service to determine the best options at that point.

Well, you could always go with the Fix It option...
