I'm just wondering how many people have had technical issues with their Wii that they either had to have the system repaired or are just living with it to see if it fixed itself?

Just trying to get a very rough estimate of the Wii technical failures.

For me, I got a Wii with a defective GPU so I had to send it in to be repaired.

The only thing wrong with mine is it overheats when it's on WiiConnect24. I don't keep it on Wiiconnect24, so other than that, nope.

i sent mine in due to a supposed dodgy disc drive. it gave out long beeps occasionally when it was checking out the disc and it vibrated quite a bit. it didnt have any disc read errors or disc scratching incedents though. the replacement unit does the same things mind so maybe its just something wiis do. my sisters wii doesent seem to vibrate at all though. certain discs also seem to make it vibrate more than others. warioware was the worst at making it vibrate. i couldnt see anything wrong with the disc though.

i keep mine out of its stand. last time i had it in there....it vibrated alot and made alot of noise. that was the old unit...i havent tried the stand with the replacement.
