yo this only happened because did u have a thunder storm or a tornado when it happened or some kind of diaster and ur power went out or something like that u get it thumbs up if i am rite
my nintendo wi wont turn on when i use the remote and press the power button on the console the light on the wii just stays red and i tried air dusting it un plugging and waiting but it still wont turn on so can sumbody plz help me and explain wat my problem is?
erm.. can you repeat the steps in another way? i did the instruction u gave but it still wont turn on and is there a possibility that the disk prevented it from powering it up?
followed all the directions and im stuck at the cooling off stage.... lets say my wii has been cooling off for well over 2 months ive tried pluging it back in and everything no power strips.... help please....
Unplug every thing from the back of your wii. Unplug the power cable from the wall. Let the wii and the power cable sit for at least 90 seconds. Plug back up. Wiivdhould be working fine. This happened to me today
ufff man thankss it workss!! i think the problem was that i have it connect it in a 3 plug extension wall connector , i wait 5 minutes and i plug it directly and works fine now!!
Someone help!!!! I was playing black ops on my wii when the power went out on my house then it came back on really quick and when I went to turn the wii on the red light wasn't on so I unplugged it and plugged it back in and still nothing, someone help Plz!!!!
Check the vents on the back and side of the Wii for dust build up. The system will shut down if it cannot vent properly to prevent overheating. If there is a build-up, remove it using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
@PadoBear If you ont have a wall outlet in your home your poor and wierd, and how did you play wii in the first place? A wall outlet is the thingy you plug stuff into, dont use the cord thingys
someone please help my stupid wii just broke today and my brother and sister are so mad... I really wish I could have a clear and easy to understand answer on how to fix my wii hopefully without having to take it apart.... here's how it broke: I removed my SD card from my wii when the light was yellow/orange and when I removed it my wii's power light instantly tured to red, and when I pressed the power button it turns on for half a second and then turns right back off again.
yay! my wii is fixed now too. my first instinct was to unplug everything for awhile and try again but i kept plugging it back into the power strip! straight into the wall worked. thank you thankyou thank you!
If this isn't the problem (if you don't have a hacking channel or have never connected or isn't connected to the Wii's Internet mode), then there's a problem with your Wii Console.
Your Wii Operations Manual explains where you can contact Nintendo if you have any issues, but if you lost your manual, then you can go to Support (dot) Nintendo (dot) Com and click on "Contact" at the bottom of the site.
Usually this happens when you download illegal channels, such as the Homebrew Channel. You have to make sure that when you download these types of hacking channels, that you don't update your Wii Console straight from the Wii. When your Wii is being updated, it first checks your Wii to see if it has the current software. But if it notices a hacking channel, it will make it unusable.
When you first connect to the Internet and agree to the WiiConnect24 License Terms and Agreement...
you have to unplug the ac adapter for 2 minutes and replug it in a wall outlet. not power strip. Replug it in and it should work. i had this happen to me to. go on nintendo and look under troubleshooting. hope it works
my wii wont even blink on red.then when i unplug everything it still wont come on.i did everything.i even called the # on the bottom of my wii.they wanted me to come from my town to theirs just to fix on it.plz someone help!!!
If your still having this problem, all you have to do is reset the AC adapter. Unplug the power source (AC Adapter) from the back of the console and from the wall. Wait 5 minutes, plug everything back up but make sure you plug it straight into a wall outlet, not a power strip. The same thing happen to me and this worked.
my wii wont turn on iunpllugged the adapter for a week and plugged it back in and it still dont work the lights dont turn on at all please help do i need a new adapter
same problem on my wii,but the red light is on.when i press the power button,it wont turn on(green).i did all the trouble shooting but nothing happens.what will i do can someone help?thanks
hey guys plz help me caz i cannot go to nintendo service or anything caz im in srilanka my wii i got from us broke suddenly but after i got a custom made adaptor it shows only the red light but when i press it it changes colour for a sec n goes back to red again but ma votage is 230v n the normal wii consumes 240v should i get another adaptor
unplug the AC adapter from the back of system and from the electrical outlet. Wait five minutes and plug everything back up but plug the the AC adapter into a wall outlet, not a powerstrip. This happen to my twice and it worked both times.
@TheBigjon1213 Thank You So much for your advice my little sisters wii just crashed recently and i used tip and it worked.... once again thank you so much!
Yea, mine crashed a couple of years ago after a bad thunderstorm, and I was freaking out, lol. I actually came close to buying a new one, but I decided to look it up and found that tip. Saved me 250 bucks!
Someone, PLEASE PLEASE help me! PLEASE! I have a Wii, and the light works just fine, i press it and it turns green but when i go to my TV nothing happens! I tried scrolling through channels too! My TV Watching Channel is 8 and Consoles 3, It worked fine 2 days ago! And the Adapter thing won't light up! I bought 2 adapters and nothing works! I'll subscribe big time if someone could help me!
it but i know how it happened ..how it happened was i installed 0.3 softmod
and found out it was an old version so then i uninstalled every thing that the "support file came with and pressed home to restart it and it said restarting and i pulled the plug put it back in and started then nothing so if you have any luck help me okay
I have been waiting for the damn thing for sooo long...I finally got it,set the thing up,turn it on I was like OMG YAY! then I just got a black screen...nothing came on it for like a good 20mins.I'm like wtf??Can anyone out there who know alot about a wii that can help me??

@amberamber6061 unlpug wii, unplug all inputs (not in the wii, but like at the end of the power cord and inputs,) unplug tv, and plug em all in and make sure they are in the right spots. try again. if it doesnt work, hit the reset button. and i just realized, im comemnting on a 1 year old comment. dam if the wii still doesnt work maybe this helps XD

Check the vents on the back and side of the Wii for dust build up. The system will shut down if it cannot vent properly to prevent overheating. If there is a build-up, remove it using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
