Hello,
I recently got a used Wii. It turns on and accepts disks, but it doesn't have a video signal. There is no picture or sound on the TV. I also cannot connect a Wii remote to it. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem or knows how to fix it. I don't know much about how the wiis internal hardware works so I figured I'd ask here.
Thanks,

Probably the Bluetooth module disconnected from the motherboard. Open your console and reattach it. Try turning it on again.

If that doesn't work, then you probably have some kind of brick.

More information needed.
  • Was any unofficial/homebrew software installed on the Wii?
  • What happened before the issue?
    • Opened console?
    • Dropped it?
    • Software experiment?
  • Can you turn on your console with a (previously synced) remote?
Did you go through usual process of elimination to rule out peripherals as problem (testing different AV cable, power adapter and TV)?

Poor (or better say nonexistent) error handling by Home Menu makes troubleshooting this issue hard.

I checked Bluetooth module, it didn't change anything. I have no background info on the wii since I bought it from a yard sale. There are no remotes synced and remotes won't sync with it. No idea if it had any modifications. I haven't dropped it and there is no visible damage.

    I tried making chocolate lava cakes the other day in cupcake pan, what a mess, my lava exploded out of the cakes everywhere while baking, was still ok tho, just no lava inside.

    We had our grandkids over yesterday and I got a small above ground swimming pool I filled for them to play in. Well today I woke to find 3 ducks swimming around in it. Don't mind really but they are annoyingly loud, quack quack. Gotta drain it today. Guess what were having for dinner, lol.

    I used butter instead of vegetable oil, and think that's why they squirted out during baking, who knows
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah i think oil is the right call

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    plus if you're making brownies or lava cakes for people with dairy allergies, you should use oil instead of butter anyway

    I make rum cake for 4th July every year, I make it a week prior and then soak it in rum in the fridge all week. I flip the cake each day, and add little more rum, it soaks it up everyday, so good.

    sorry, idk what you mean by a space cake, and even if i did, i'm not really taking requests right now, because otherwise people will get mad at me for taking a request but not making a birthday cake for @Xdqwerty (i'm sorry for that btw bro)
