This is a common problem with Wii units bought near launch. There are many fixes for this loud buzzing sound on the internet but I never bothered with that or sending it to Nintendo. This sound detracts largely from your gaming experiences =P. You could even hear it over your television set sometimes.

I'm certain that the noise has increased slightly in the past.

[UPDATE] I've actually fixed it completely and pretty sure it's permanent unlike many fixes :D. It was an in-house developed fix.

For everyone wondering what I did, I just un-tightened the 2 screws left and right of the green rectangle. You just have to find a specific amount of un-tightening to make the noise completely stop. I personally just un-tightened it just a small bit. I'll shortly upload a picture dictating the screws.

  • my friends wii has the bussing and it wont let discs in PLEASE respond

  • @hombrewfreak I'm sorry, I don't know a fix for that.

  • I have the same problem. How do you open up your wii to get it to that point in your picture?

  • @dottedboy 1. Find an online guide to open it up 2. Make sure you have a tri-wing screwdriver as well as a phillips screw driver to open the console.

    Hope that helps.

  • I might try this, because mine makes the same noise and has since i got it. curiously it has done this since i got it from intendo directly, after i damaged my last one, which WAS my fault. unusual though that playing Brawl seems to make it so much louder, as if the disc tightens it up itself.

  • @Chaoswave92 haha, definitely. I remember SSBB being the loudest too! :P

see all

  • @yoshe11234 Take it to Nintendo! That what I did with mine was doing it and I swear they will repair it well!! Mine is as good as new!!! Trust me!!

  • lol thats happening to mine now!

  • @_@ MY EARS! and @PhoenixBaby96 what a good idea!

  • awesome take it apart and see if you got a chainsaw in there!

  • Yeah, this is what mine sounds like. Even while wearing headphones it's still somewhat audible. I've avoided playing my Wii for a couple of years now but I'd like to fix it before Skyward Sword comes out. The joys of early adoption and limited warranties.

  • Hey, Nintendo invented their own chainsaw. That's pretty new for a game console creator.

  • YOU HAVE CHUCK NORRIS SECRET CHAINSAW!!!

  • OMG ITS THE CHAINSAW PROBLEM
