Try to unplug it from the main socket and from the wii, leave it for about 10 minutes then put it back. If this doesn't change anything then it's most likely the charger's fault. The problem with Wii's charger is that there is no light for you to check whether there's enough power coming through the cable. If you can borrow a charger from one of your friends it'll be good as this will help you confirm whether your charger is really faulty. If not, buy yourself a charger. You can find this from your local store or off ebay.

hope this helps.

Swap the power adapter with someone else's Wii, just to test it.

Also, are there any USB devices connected? If so, disconnect those and try it again.

It sounds like the power cord could be going bad. Check the connection to the wall and the wii first and if those seem like solid connections, I would try to get another power cord. I've bought a second one for myself and they are fairly cheap.

Wii won't turn on.

Reset the AC adapter by following steps below.

1. Unplug the Wii AC adapter at both ends (from the back of the
Wii system and from the wall outlet or power strip).

2. After you've waited a full 2 minutes, plug the AC adapter back in on both ends and check to see if the power light comes on.

The Wii console light will turn green

Hi sharonkayh,

Try the following:

1) Completely power down your system by pressing the power button for 10 seconds. If that doesn't work, unplug the AC Adapter from the Wii for a moment, then plug it back in.

2) Make sure your Wii console has the most current Wii system menu. Download the latest update, and then test your Wii console to determine if the problem has been resolved.

This is done by:
  1. Make sure your Wii console is successfully connected online.
  2. Access the Wii System Settings.
  3. Click on the blue arrow twice to reach the Wii System Settings 3 menu options.
  4. Select "Wii System Update" and press the A Button.
  5. Select "Yes," and read any messaging regarding obtaining the update. If you agree to the messaging, select "I Accept."
  6. The Wii console will now search for the latest Wii System Update.
  7. If an update is available, it will be downloaded and installed automatically.

I hope this can help you - Source: Nintendo Website.

Kind Regards

No power to the Wii

Yeah, it is sort of a common problem if you don't play your Wii much, simply unplug your power supply from the Wii, and the outlet, then wait a couple of minutes, and hook it back it, it should work then!

Wii no power no lights

I copied this from nintendo.com hope this helps you.


No Power
    Most power issues with the Wii can be fixed by resetting the AC adapter. You can easily reset the AC adapter by following these steps:
      1. Unplug the Wii AC adapter at both ends (from the back of the Wii system and from the wall outlet or power strip). acunplug.png
      2. The AC adapter must remain unplugged at both ends for a full 2 minutes.
      3. While you're waiting, unplug/remove all accessories from the system (including game discs, SD Cards, Nintendo GameCube controllers, memory cards, hookup cables, and Sensor Bar). Remove all of these from the outlet and the Wii.
      4. Also check to see that controller cords, AC adapter, and Stereo AV cables/Component Video cables are not frayed and do not have exposed wires. If you find any frayed cords or exposed wires, you should replace those parts.
      5. After you've waited 2 minutes, plug the AC adapter into the Wii system and directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector or power strip. Check to see if the power light comes on.
      6. If the system works, plug the Sensor Bar into your system, then turn the system on to see if it still works. Repeat this process with one accessory at a time. If your system doesn't work once you've connected a particular accessory (Sensor Bar, Game Disc Nintendo GameCube controller, Memory Card, SD Card, etc.), there may be something defective with that accessory.

Loose power

We have the same problem. This is actually our second system. Our first system started overheating 3 months old...Nintendo replaced with no problem. Our current system is 17 months old and is doing the same thing. I again contacted Nintendo (2x) and they informed me I was out of warranty BUT they would send in for FREE REPAIR, since I had this issue for the second time, and I told them I was not happy. It takes a bit of persistence with the automated phone system but if you keep trying you will get the prompt. Nintendo 1-800-255-3700

Power is on but screen is black

I found this [temporary] solution at http://www.wiierror.com/wii-black-screen.php:

(via email, thanks Steven) This happened to me once, but I fixed it. Here is how:
Eject the disk
Unplug the wii at the back
Wait 1 minute
Plug it back in
Turn it on from the remote
Press reset if it does not show up
Hold the power button to shut it off
Turn it on once more.
I don't know how, but it seemed to work for me. The problem happened when I was trying to load the Mii channel. Hope this helps !

(via email, thanks Andrew)
The first time I shut down my Wii, the light went orange (as it should). When I turned on the power with my wii remote the next day, the wii\'s light turned green but the screen was black.
The treatment was the same as from Black Screen, No Connection: Unplug the Wii\'s power supply unit, then replug; turn system on with wii remote.
The difference is: this problem can strike in more places than just by loading the Mii Channel. Also, I think the green light being on (yet there being a black screen) is a common symptom as well.

Wii console will not come on

First things first. We'll start from the beginning. Unplug the AC Adapter from the wall and from the Wii. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Then plug it back in. 9 times out of 10 your power supply needs to be reset. The only way to reset it is to unplug it from the wall and the wii and let it sit for 15 min. Try this first and report back if it worked. Even if you think you have done this already do it again.
