Wii connect 24 has damaged my system >;(

Im sending it in Nintendo CSwas very helpful they even offered to pay ALL shipping. DO NOT LEAVE your wii on stanby by ever.

Mines on standby 24/7

Yours is probably just a defective unit
Or there's a problem other than what you think it is.

im sending my wii in as soon as i get my label

i already sent the game in to get repaired, but it seems its hardware related

they even gave me a box that fits my wii perfectly when they sent back my paper mario cd

and yes, ive played like 8 games that worked fine until paper mario.. chapter 7-3 

This is a known problem that has affected a very small number of Wii systems.

Most Wii owners probably are aware that the system runs at a higher temperature in its passively cooled standby mode than in its actively cooled running mode.  A very small percentage of Wii systems suffer damage to their GPU chips under sufficient heat.

The GPU damage causes "sparkly" graphical artifacts, but the systems typically operate normally otherwise. 

This usually happens as a result of high ambient temperatures or blocked ventilation.  It only affects a very small number of systems in any circumstances, so it is quite safe to run the Wii in standby mode.  It's unlikely to happen to you, and covered by warranty if it does.

Hence is better to leave it on standby so if its indeed defective you get a replacement while still under warranty.

Back up your save games and play something else until your system gets replaced, is my advice.
