Forums - Gaming Discussion - My Wii broke ..... *cry*

Unplug the power supply for a few hours and try it again. The wii power supply doesn't have a conventional fuse. If it receives an over voltage, a capacitor holds open a switch. The capacitor needs to completely drain in order to reset itself.

This is what scares me about this generation. Before I got the PS1 I had never had a console break on me. My Nes worked until I shot it, and my SNES STILL works. Now, it's pretty much a given that at some point, my consoles are going to be sent in for repair. A Nintendo console bricking used to be unheard of. Now, there's a thread about it everyday.

I take excellent care of my hardware, and I've seen the demise of two PS1's, 3 PS2's, one DS, and an XBOX 360 (within a week of my purchase of Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, and Mass Effect, no less!). These are dangerous times.......

You din't step on the power cable did you? because sometimes cables can break inside the insulation. It sounds like a faulty cable if the light doesn't come on.

no, I didn't step on any cables while moving it

It's like an epidemic recently...........so sorry pichu.......any DS games you can catch up on in the meantime? Hopefully this will cheer you up!

Umm...is there a switch thing you can press on or something? My plug is connected to some adapter-like thing where I have to press a button for everything to turn on (Wii, DVD, etc.) thing is connected. You may have forgotten that...?

If not then...that sucks :( Send it in for repairs. It's free isn't it?

In the mean time, search for ToS in stores :P

Edit: It may be the plug itself, not the Wii. Plug may have been damaged...

 

I hope its free, and don't worry I'll still keep looking for Tos and no the plug works fine I tried it out..



Try waiting a while and unplugging it and repluging it then change the outlet the power is comeing from,



"Like you know"

Isn't this a topic better suited for nintendo-forums? :/
