Broken Wii's anyone

Hi,

Just wondering how many others out there have sent there Wii's away but to only have nintendo say theres nothing wrong with it.

Happend to me a couple weeks ago had to pay about $50 bucks,pretty pissed off gonna put the bugga on ebay.

Ive heard around the net that Wii's can overheat and be unable to play for a few days maybe that was my problem.

Cheers.

yeh no worries mate,

The room i have my wii in gets pretty hotand i got the problem at the begining of summer i put the wii connect 24 thing on i dont why and it stayed in standby for a while as id be at work all day and maybe play it on the weekend with some mates, then one day i turned it on and it turned off again and wouldnt turn back on the drive would flash but nothing would happen.

hope thats wat u were lookin for cheers.

Oh, you had an overheating problem? This happened to me, my Wii turned itself off after a while. I rung Ninty, and they said check if the ventilation fan runs while it's on. I grabbed a toothpick, gave the fan a nudge and viola, my problem was fixed. I'm so glad they were nice to help, saved me some money to send it up there, not to mention I'll actually have my Wii for christmas.

My Wii should be getting to Nintendo tomorrow. I don't see how they'll be able tosay nothing is wrong, every game disk now gives the black "an error occurred..." screen. My unit is still under warranty though, so it isn't costing me anything either way. We'll see how it goes though.

This is an interesting story.

Ok so you called Nintendo and explained that was going on with your console

The customer service representative asked you questions to diagnose what was wrong with your Wii

The customer service representative said it needed to be sent it and sent out the mailing label for you

Once it arrived at the repair center they said that it wasn't broken and charged you

That's how it went down?

Yeh thats pretty much how it went down, in australia you need to pay postage costs.

the dude on the phone said theres deffinatly something wrong and yet they said there wasnt anything wrong when it arrived at there repair centreand charged me another 35 bucks.

cheers

I'm very sorry to hear that.

You should contact Nintendo and explain the issue to them.
