pixelation-- WTF?

Hi,

When I play my Wii on my bigscreen Sony tv, verticle pixel-lines appear and are like, a rainbow color (the lines kinda sparkle).  It happens during games and internet use, etc.

What gives? 

Thanks!

You might want to look into some component cables, or your cables right now are faulty.  solidsnakeEx3

Hmmmm...rainbow hu? Mabye your we is magic?

but really... I don't know :P

A thread was posted about this a few days ago. Apparantly it has something to do with the Wii overheating and burning out the video card. I'm having the exact same problem. Black, white and sometimes red, green and blue pixels appear on the screen in lines and go across the screen in rows. It's worse for some games than others. The pixels even appear on the Wii menu but don't show up as bad. I called Nintendo this afternoon and got info on how to send it to them so hopefully it will get fixed. If I were you I'd do the same thing.

Here's a link someone posted who was also having this problem.

You need to do a few things. Try the wii and the current wires on another tv to see if it is the wii/cables. OR try new cables. OR if possible, see if a friend near you that has a wii can bring his over and test his on your tv...There are so many possibilties to what coudl be the problem. The best thing you can do now is try a new tv and see if it is maybe your tv also.

Ignore the "sony" comments: there is no compatibility issues between the Wii and Sony TVs. Not by any stretch of the imagination. It'd be stretching the boundaries of legality and it's a silly notion anyway.Spelunker

I dont see how this can be the Wii's fault. Its most likely your TV.According to Nintendo , they tested the Wii morning , noon , and night and said nothing to big has happen to the wiis. They are built to stay on for so long to not worry about overheating. And besides, the wii doesnt get hot but warm.Tjeremiah1988
