Thanks everyone for your help. Fortunately, my Wii made a miraculous discovery this morning. I don' know what happened, but i cannot explain how happy i was to see a red power light finally go on this morning.
I am terrified though about continuing with MP3. My Wii seems to go nuts when MP3 is on, as the little Wii processor tries to compete for volume with the nearby tv.
Anyway, thanks for all the help, and now lets hope my Wii survives, at least until Madword is out.
