In Topic: Wii mode not working

05 March 2013 - 01:06 PM

Just to cap this thread off, I finally got round to sending the console back to nintendo. It looks like they've just replaced it rather than trying to reload the firmware so I can only assume it was a hardware fault. All working now though. The repair turnaround was excellent, six days there and back, all postage paid for and text updates at all stages.

Now for some mario kart!

My console is the same. I fire up the wii mode and the screen just goes black after i press the button with the wiimote. I have to yank the power out to get it up and running again. The guy from nintendo also told me he'd never heard of this problem and told me i'll have to send it in for repair. Oh the joys of early adoption!

Tried the new sensor bar just to rule it out but it's just the same. I'll hang on for the next update and see if it gets sorted. I'd be a lot happier if i knew others were having this problem though as there's more chance of it getting fixed then!

Thanks again for all the suggestions

Just tried the back-up battery but it made no difference. I've also tried using an avi cable instead of a HDMI and exactly the same thing happens, it just seems to crash when it tries to boot into wii-u mode. The screen stays black, the blue light stays on the console but all the remotes loose their connections. The sensor bar I'm using is from our old wii and works fine on everything else (nintendoland etc).

Cheers

Tried leaving it off for an hour or so and doing a data clear, still no joy. I suppose I'm just going to have to wait for the next firmware update and hope its something nintendo know about and have fixed.

Cheers for the advice.
