thanks for the tip. Will keep in mind in case this does happen.
Thanks
This happened to us too! I thought it was broken, but did the same thing..unplugged it for a while and then it worked again when I plugged it back in. I was so glad it wasn't broken!!
Amen! I would hate to have to pay to replace the Wii. I love it too much!
One fault with the Wii is the power supply. Go bad. If it ever doesn't work after this trick, try replacing the power supply (about $20) before you give up on it. It's a really cheap and easy fix for a common problem.
I have noticed that ours will light up in the middle of the night and I hear the where the disk spinning. I have noticed that it is very hot on the side and sometimes the light goes red. We now remove the disk after playing and it has not happened since.
This happened to us too. I unplugged the cord from the Wii, thinking that would fix it, but it didn't. I was about to send it back when I did a little more research and found out it's the cord itself, not the Wii that needs to reset. Unplugged that from the wall, and after a minute or 2, it was back to normal.
Very frustrating. Hasn't happened again though.
Ours actually DID break, and out of warranty too. But this is nice: Even out of warranty, Nintendo charges a flat $70 to repair or replace a Wii console. So even if something terrible happened to it, $70 will get you a new one and you will have your full 1 year warranty back. We ended up doing that and including shipping both ways it took 7 days. Very reasonable I think.
The blue light in the middle of the night thing? That is normal, and it will happen if your Wii is connected to the Internet. The light happens when your Wii is in standby mode (yellow/orange light) and gets an update from Nintendo. Then it will light up blue to let you know you have an update.
Also a red light is NORMAL and not a bad thing. That is what happens if you power off the Wii with the button on the front instead of the button on the Wiimote. Not scary or bad. Normal.
