I hate it when people who ask for help never finish the tread. Did the porblem get solved or did he throw it away. My wii is doing this exact same thing now. LED is red, powes up for a few seconds then shuts itself off. The AC reset did not work. Is ti the mobo, blue tooth or the fan. How to tell which one? Sorry to bump an old tread but some closure on the fix woould be nice.

Had this problem once, bluetooth was the culprit. Fried it (though not a clue how) on of my boards. Replaced it and it worked fine after. Then I fried it due to the crappy Infectus software and it's been lying borked in my closet ever since ;). As far as testing if it's the fan, you could always look at it / hook it up to a suitable power source.

I think its the fan. Tried turning it on and the fan does not spin. I guess its time to learn how to open the box and how to replace the fan. Any quick links on replaciingthe fan. ANy good place to buy parts?

Not sure if that is normal behaviour if the system itself doesn't work. I know of several people who ran the Wii without any fan (just outside the case) just fine..... I honestly doubt it is the fan.

I went to turn on my wii a few minutes earlier and the system immediately turned off-first the drive flashes blue(as if its turning on) then the led light turns off and the entire console turns off..after unplugging the ac adapter and then plugging it back in. The wii led turns red(as if it was off) I dont know what to do. Quick surfing on the net has told me to leave the wii unplugged for certain amounts of time than try again. I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else here on GBAtemp?
We just had this problem it was a bad controller shutting it off

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.

    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.

  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
