Re:
Depending on the chip and who installed it, it is probably shorting out something in your system. Even if the system was working before, it might have shifted or come loose. If it is only shorting your power switch then it would just be a simple adjustment of the chip. However, the chip could have shorted out your main board and when the system powers on, it detects the short and shuts itself off as a fail-safe. Removing the chip *might* fix it if it didn't totally fry the system.

if it was dropped check the bluetooth module , they can come unplugged and the wii will not function. Children love to put change in the wii which can short it out. Never bridge a fuse as it can cause unsafe conditions and potentially a fire hazard .
Try pressing the power button down and holding it for a few seconds and see if your WII comes back to life. When I first got my Wii I would hold down the button just long enough for it to turn green. This seems like a standby mode. To get my Wii to turn off completly I needed to hold down
the button until it turned red and when restarting the WII I held doen the button until the Wii started back up.
Power light is green or orange - TV screen is blank
If the power light is green or orange and your screen remains blank, follow these steps.
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.
Make sure your Wii console has the most current Wii system menu. Download the latest update (how to), and then test your Wii console to determine if the problem has been resolved.
If you continue to experience this issue, there is a problem with the Wii console and it will need to be repaired.
It seems that your unit may have overheated while you were playing that game, that yellow like you are talking about is the 360's Red Ring of Death. Try this, eject the HDD and let it cool off for about 24 hours. Don't put it in the refrigerator or anything, just let it cool off. Tomorrow, pop it back in and make sure there's nothing covering the air vents. Dust, Paper, a Blu-Ray Player, Home Theater Box, a Wii, a 360, anything.
If it's still doing it tomorrow, call SCEA (1-800-345-7669)
try turning it off on the console and not with the controller. turning it off with controller turns it yellow. press and hold the power button on console for 5 seconds it should turn red.
From the research im doin on the same problem its the same as xboxs red ring of the death. the most consistent answer is to return it to sony for 149 bucks if out of warranty. trying to find more....
get a wii memery card and plug it in and your wii does not run if ather software came in its hardrive so get a good memery card and place it in the last slot and turn it on
To be precise, you can turn this option off from the Wii System settings -> Wii Connect 24 -> standby connection -> off
When this setting is swiched to off, your console shuts down entirely and there is a RED light on the power button. There will be no need to turn off the console pressing the power button.
According to Nintendo u can try this. 1. push the reset button and if that doesn't work unplug all cords and memory cards (including sd) from wii and unplug av from the wii and the outlet in wall. Wait 2-3 min and then plug it back in. Thats as far as i got because that fixed my problem hope this helps someone!!!
