Wii won't work after "incorrect memory card" was inserted.
Howdy,
So, my youngest inserted a disk, and then inserted what he thought was the memory card containing info for that game. He received an "incorrect memory card" error, so he tried another card, and another, and another (4 total tries), at which point, the lights flashed green, yellow, red, then powered down.
No, after unplugging the unit, and replugging, the power light comes on however, if you try ANYTHING else, (install a disk, press reset, press eject, etc.) the power light goes out and won't come back on till it's unplugged and replugged.
Nintendo wants $75.00 for a warranty repair...
I deal with computer/laptop hardware 70 hours a week. This has me stumped. So does the charge from the manufacturer. It's not been physically damaged, unless installing a memory card that has no information pertaining to the game does damage.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks for that info. He was trying to play a Gamecube game. It seems there must be a sensor that tells it when disk is being installed. If you try to insert a disk, it powers off. Then you have to unplug and replug to get the power light back on. Any ideas?Thanks for that info.

Hi again, Unfortunately, the unit won't power up to do an update, or anything else for that matter. I heard from Nintendo today, and seems like they're going to repair it at no cost. Thanks for the info.Hi again,

You shouldnt need a memory card to save wii games it has 512mb internal memory.unless your trying to play gamecube games on it.the wiis security features are incredible if it cannot recognize a controller or memory card it will power down.make sure you are using a SD memory card because it will not accept anything else.it will power down for safty reasons.
also make sure you remove the memory card you put in or it most likely wont start up.also make sure you remove the memory card you put in or it most likely wont start up.

Wii red light going batty flashing like every 1/3rd of a second, and it will not turn on. I FIXED MINE BY UNPLUGGING EVERYTHNIG CARDS, CABLES, FROM EVERYWHERE, AND REMOVE SDCARDS ALSO, AND DISCS, BOTH GC & WII CARDS, SENSOR BAR PLUG, POWER Plug *ALL THAT'S PLUGGED OR INSERTED... Now i plugged everything back in ACCEPT Not Sensor PLUG To back of wii, then the light quit (This is after 4 min break all undone...) And then plugged the Sensor plug and THEN as i finally plugged in the POWER Plug I first held the SYNC red button on the Wii, and then plugged it in and WAH-LAH Isue Resolved Immediately, KUDOS for the hints Cheerz & Peace Love Banish Fear/ hate to not even give it thought in root thoughtfulness.!. www.fb.com/stanleydeanparker/
open your wii controller battery compartment and your wii memory card compartment theere will be red buttons press them then try again this has happend to me before and it worked.
You will most likely find that your camera will work with cards up to a certain capacity e.g. 2gb and not with cards of higher capacity. What this means in effect is that high capacity cards are not compatible with your camera. It would be interesting to know the make and model of your camera.
Howdy. you need the free CD from netflix to make the streaming feature work on a Wii. Once the FREE CD is inserted, it will take you through the very short, easy set up step by step on your screen. My favorite way to watch movies at home:)
Take the memory card out. on the cartridge gently blow on the end you plug into the wii and slot A on the wii if you have a game cube test to see if it works on the game cube insert the card in slot B
Yes it is really plug into slot and use but it won't work at all if you won't install drivers. So please go to Sony's website and choose your model there and then download n install drivers. Thats it. Simple or not ?
It might be talking about the GameCube memory card slots, not the SD card slots. There should be a door on the top/left side of the WII. See if it's talking abou that.
It sounds like either a firmware problem, or hardware problem...try downloading the proper firmware and if that doesn't work. then it's most likely the card reader of the camera....try taking it in to a camera repair shop.
Thanks for that info.
