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.Reset the AC adapter by following steps below.

Start simple. If there's no power to your Wii, check that the AC adaptor is firmly connected both to the game console and a live electrical outlet. If you still have no power, or the power LED light goes off in midgame or flickers, try rebooting the system. Turn everything off, unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet, wait at least 60 seconds and then plug in again and turn the system on.
If this does not help you may need a new power supply.Also try cleaning the wii.Use a can of ampressed air to blow out any dirt or dust from unit.Pay attention to fan area.Be sure fan spins free.
First, Check your wii adaptor, In normal conditions
the wii adapter provides the output 12volt. You can test the output using multimeter or a 12volt lamp.
then plug it into the outlet, If the light is still off/flashing, disconnect the AC Adapter unplug from the wall outlet, wait 2 minutes and plug it back into the outlet. Turn the console power ON.
Usually, after a power outage, a power spike (when the power returns) can disable/blow the fuse in the AC adapter for the Wii.
Try the following steps in this order:
FIRST:
- unplug the Wii's power cord from the wall, and leave it unplugged (from 5 mins. to 5 hours). Then, plug it back into the wall. (Unplugging the power cord from the back of the Wii will not help. You need to unplug the power cord from the wall.)
- This usually helps reset the fuse circuit in the AC adapter, and your Wii should work again.
SECOND:
- open the panel on the AC adapter box in the power cord; since the screws are proprietary, you will need to creatively use existing tools to turn the screws
- check the 3A fuse in that box; if it looks blown, then replace it
THIRD:
- it might be cheaper to replace the AC adapter with another one
FOURTH:
- get the unit repaired
MUST DO:
- buy a SURGE PROTECTOR power bar, and plug all of your expensive items into it (to prevent this from happening again).
Try another known working ac adaptor and if you get the same symptoms then you know the system is bad, if the symptoms go away then you know its a problem with your original ac adaptor.
There was a power surge which caused my WII to not power on anymore.
Unplugging the power adaptor fromt he wall for 5 minutes and then plugging it back in
fixed the problem.
unplugg everything from the back of the wii and unplugg the power/ac adaptor form the wall wait 2 minutes and plugg everythnig back in.....hopefully this works for you it worked for me!!
