The bad point is the cost , but I guess it can't be helped and now I do have enough money for it. There is a safe mode type thing. When you turn it on, instead of just pressing A to get past the initial screen, you press and hold down + and - and then press A, and it boots into maintenance mode. I don't know the specific differences other than my system would freeze in normal mode and maintenance mode doesn't allow you to access the message center, so I wonder if when I get it back, there will be like 10 new messages to read. See, I figured that it's either like safe mode and disabled whatever it was that was freezing my Wii or it could be a whole second copy of the operating system and as such wasn't in whatever memory that may've been corrupted or anything. Either way it was working alright until now. |
So maybe it was some kind of error involving WiiConnect24

Did the hinge break? My DS's hinge is done, I have to hold the top screen up......... |
Unless Nintendo will fix it for free, you can buy a replacement hinge for $2 online and fix it yourself.

Perhaps, but I could leave it on standy-by and it came up with the blue light telling me I have a message, so that would seem like WiiConnect24 was still working, so I'm more inclined to it being some sort of malformed message center or a memory issue where the message center is.
Oh yeah, does Nintendo give you any sort of details upon returning the unit? Will they actually tell me what was wrong?

not really. They didn't tell me the first time they fixed it, but they had a wire lose when they put it back together, so they told me when I waited for the second fix.

Ahh the good old days. When all life's problems could be solved by hitting it, a good blow, or a soft push.

I would've but the disc based game loaded up. It was a WiiWare game that failed and it's harder to open the system up and blow and push on the circuitry.

You might get some details, when mine was sent back from being repaired there was some paperwork in there that said the DVD drive had been replaced.
