Well - After my first wii got over heated from Wii connect 24 (i know people are going to say Wii's dont over heat, but MINE DID)

and my second ones disc drive is messed up (making a loud noise like THIS one Here)

Im going to be on my THIRD! :(

hopefully third times a charm.. i hope i have a good working wii. It seems like My wii's are acting like 360's more than Wii's..

Anyone else have problems with their Wii's not working? how many have you gone through?

Edit: For those who dont believe i have a Wii, heres my setup:

Yeah I think you're really unlucky, :(. I'm on my first still, had it since launch, although I almost replaced it because my fan started acting up. Just before I did I dropped it by accident and the fan snapped back into place, so I'm as lucky as you are unlucky :P.

I turn off WiiConnect24 so that that doesn't happen to me. You should do the same, so the first thing doesn't happen again. The second was just a fluke.

I hope Nintendo got you new ones. Thats a good amount of money wasted if not. My Wii started messing up when it got to hot so I got a cooling fan.

Not a cheap shot at all. It's a well known fact that 360s break down quite often.

Anyway on topic. This really sucks. I think my Wii has a problem too, with the internet. Sometimes it connects and sometimes it doesn't.

Btw when they change or switch your Wiis, did they keep your games saves and VC games? Would suck even more if you lose thoses.

Idk, im having a "Problem" with my Wii as well. i have only noticed it recently and only when im playing zelda:TP. when i open my file and start out, per-say im in at the entrance at hyrule castle, i leave and when the screen goes black for the next area, it comes up with a message saying something like: "Disc cannot be read. please refer to Wii manual and instructions.". idk if thats just a few scratches on the disc(cause there are a few), or just i have a Screwed up system! anyone else incounter this, or i just crazy?

Honestly, you must have horrible luck. I think that the 3rd time will be the charm for you (unless,... like a meteor hits it).

Had mine since Christmas and it works perfectly. Dunno how people could be having problems with them, mine gets moved around a lot since it gets taken to friends houses and whatnot, still works. In the last 17 years of owning Nintendo consoles, not once have I had one defect on any of them. My original DS Phat burned out on me though, its the first time something has just totally stopped working (although I think my hacking of it might have caused it).

This is the only Nintendo console i've had a problem with.

my NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, GB Original, GBA SP, and DS lite all work fine.

I haven't had one single problem with a Wii, nor has anyone I know. They're very well put together, and the % of defective ones is thankfully very, very low. I feel lucky that my 360 works, but I don't worry about it with my Wii... I KNOW it will work, and if it doesn't, the big N will come to the rescue... If true, that sucks for you, but you're the in the tiniest of minorites.... at least you're dealing with Nintendo.

Still on my first from the launch, no problems at all with mine.

I really dont think that your wii's were really defective. They probably still worked just with minor problems, all systems sometimes make noise and i dont think your wii can overheat it was just probably really hot dude and you thought there was somrthing wrong.

Dont waste your time trying to replace your wii when ur wii is probably fine.

Well - After my first wii got over heated from Wii connect 24 (i know people are going to say Wii's dont over heat, but MINE DID)

and my second ones disc drive is messed up (making a loud noise like THIS one Here)

Im going to be on my THIRD! :(

hopefully third times a charm.. i hope i have a good working wii. It seems like My wii's are acting like 360's more than Wii's..

Anyone else have problems with their Wii's not working? how many have you gone through?

Edit: For those who dont believe i have a Wii, heres my setup:

Haziqonfire

im not against the "wii don't overheat" because i felt mine today, after it was on WIIC24, and.. darn was it ever hot.... it was... just... im not leaving wii connect 24 on.. and sorry bout your drive problems.
