Do you have WiiConnect24 on? That MIGHT be the problem, although it hasn't been proven. roflcopter616It is the problem...this thing that nintendo wants you to have running all the time will prolly kill your system. I kept mine on for like a week and the thing was always burning hot!

It's not a problem, if it IS a problem it's because of a defective Wii, not a design issue.
Wiiconnect 24 causes none, zero, nada, zilch when used on a Wii that's working correctly.

The only official release from Nintendo saying this was from Nintendo of Europe saying, "we've had no reports in the UK of anything like this happening" Tht does NOT dismiss that it may be a problem.

No, the people who have contacted Nintendo because of this have already been told it's a defect.
If it wasn't everyone who has a Wii from launch (like me) would have a system that was cooked. It's not a design issue at all, it's a defect where the heat sink isn't working correctly in some cases.
What amazes me is how many users have fallen prey to the scare tactics instead of thinking for themselves. You have people going out and getting a fan for the Wii even though the problem with the defecitve Wii's and the heat sink wont be fixed by it.
Like I said in another post like this. If you don't connect the processor and heat sink in your computer somehow it doesn't matter how many fans you add to the case it's eventually going to overheat and break. Same thing with the defective Wii's, it doesn't matter if you're running Wiconnect 24 or not, eventually it will overheat because it's defective.
