Nintendo Wii Repair
Nintendo Wii Repair
With over 25 million sales worldwide, it’s not surprising that some Nintendo Wii consoles have developed faults and problems. The most common faults are:
* Problems with the Wii Remote* Power Problems
* Error Codes
* Connection Problems
There are a number of ways of sorting out these problems but basically you have a number of options.
The first and easiest option is to send your console back to Nintendo for repair. Whilst this will fix the problem, it’s expensive and you will be without your console for 4-8 weeks whilst Nintendo attend to the fault and send your console back. It’s likely to cost over $100 for most Nintendo Wii Repairs and the combined effect of cost and timescale puts many people off this repair route.
The second option is to carry out the repair yourself. This is fine for many of the more minor repairs described above and there are many websites which offer good advice. The links above provide guidance on some of these faults.
The third option applies to both basic faults and more serious faults and may involve actually opening up the Wii console and repairing it yourself. This might sound difficult but there are a number of guides available which show you step by step how to carry out Nintendo Wii repairs easily, quickly and safely. We have examined these various guides and the best one we have found is the Wii Fix Guide – The Do It Yourself Guide to Fix Wii Problems.
