Can generic component video cables damage the Wii?

I got some cheap component videos from Monoprice, and they work fine. But I saw a review on Amazon.com for some other brand of cables, and one of the reviews said that his system broke, and Nintendo customer support blamed it on the cables he used. Can that really happen. Please respond, I don't want my system to break.

I imagine it could be possible, but most likely the case is that Nintendo customer service just wanted to pass the blame onto something else. They couldn't figure out what the problem was and they said "oh yeah it was those bad cables that you didn't buy from us". I've bought many monoprice cables, including Wii component cables and as far as I can tell my Wii isn't damaged.
