Wii overheat causes video output error |
Ó
Check out the images they took. Two shots of the plasma TV problems on the left, and a single shot of the 32"CRT problems on the far right.
Anyway from their report over at their site, wii (sorry) we now know that Nintendo tech-support is "refreshingly nice" and effective. Nintendo called Wiinis back after they called in for help, and they report that according to Nintendo, the glitches are probably due to the Wii's video card overheating and getting damaged. Good thing the Nintendo warranty is 90 days, so they can still get their damaged unit swapped for a new one.
We wonder how the glitches would look on a really, really big screen.

Are you sure about 90-days? I thought it was a 2 year warranty?
ohhhhh so my wii just go overheated..yea i was wondering what those lines were from,and yea its 90 days
The warrenty is 1 year plus if you register your wii it gets extended by 90 days.
I have the same problem :(
same thing happened to me but i definantly never used my wii enough for it to overheat
I did some searching on this and i found out that it is the wireless card in the wii that generates the heat which makes sense and since the fans are not on when the wii is in stand by/wii connect24 mode the heat just keeps building up and eventually after a long time of this happening at night or when ever your not using your wii it damages the video canr in a way that causes that video out put damage. But wory not people who have not yet suffered from this if you go to curcuit city they have a cooling stand that will prevent this from happening.
