My Wii currently died becuase my street had a powerline blowout. Some of the people stuff died becuase of this and one of my item that died was the Wii. I miss my Wii and want to fix it, but don't know how. Can you guys please help with fixing the Wii. What should I do?. Fix it or get a new one?

[Auzzie Wingman]

In what way is it broken. Does it never startup, or you can't play discs or what?

[nintendo3DS]

You could always send it in to Nintendo. If you're having disk reading problems, try unplugging all of your cords for approximately one hour. If it doesn't work after that, I don't know. You could try cleaning out the fan, the dust might have collected in there, and is preventing the Wii from reading anything. My previous Wii was so bad, that I had to just get a new one. >.>

Well, in order to be able to pinpoint the problem, we need a bit more info, like....

Does it still turn on?
If it does turn on, does it not read the discs?
If it reads the discs, does it freeze shortly after playing?
If it doesn't freeze shortly after playing...why you complainin?
And lastly, does it output any video/sound (provided it turns on)?

Trust me Merchiodos, Gamecollector here can help you out with anything related to console malfunctions. He helped me figure out what was wrong with my N64, and I'm sure that he could tell you what's wrong with your Wii.

Glad to see I have the trust of at least one person.

Thanks for the help guys. The thing with my Wii, it won't turn on and I have a craving to play Super Mario Galaxy 2, but I tried all the power points in my house... nothing. Ethier its my Wii thats dead or just the power cord

[Kardibask]

Happened to my Wii as well. Try leaving it unplugged for the night and plugging it back in some time after you wake up. Around six hours or more unplugged should do it.

Well, it is likely that the cord might've gotten fried. As I always say, go for the cheapest fix first.

If the cord isn't it, then I think it's safe to say to just send it into Nintendo, cause either the power port is fried or something else is fried. Best of luck to ya. ~here's hoping it's the $10 fix~

[Merchiodos]

I'll try the cord thing first, then if that doesn't work I'll send it Nintendo... do you mean the one in japan?

Wherever you got it, Merc.

Well, I don't think that matters that much. What you need to do is get on the Nintendo website for your respective region, and go to support. They should have a number you can call so that you can ask what you should do.
