The LED on my brother's wii turns green when you press it, but the console doesn't startup; the screen stays black. Pressing the power button once its green won't power it off either. I plugged in my wii right next to his using the exact same cables and setup his was using and mine works, so its not the cables.
When trying to sync remotes with my brother's wii they won't sync so I can't tell if there is an audio/video issue since I can't reach the menu screen.
We played on his wii last night so I really don't understand what is wrong. He has owned it for over a year now.
Just spoke to Nintendo Technical support. Seems the rub is in the AC adapter itself.
Need to power down at both ends of the AC adapter--unplug AC adapter from wall output AS WELL AS from back of Wii.
Wait at least two minutes to allow any charge in the adapter itself to dissapate. Plug adapter into wall first, then back into the Wii, making sure your peripherals (eg AV receiver, TV, projector if using) are already on.
Tech support says sometimes you get a partially tripped "fuse" within the AC adapter itself.
This seems to have worked for now--will let the forum know if further problems
Over the past several months, I have noted the following additional issue:
If you have your Wii audio output plugged into an AV receiver (mine is a newer Yamaha) and the AV receiver is turned on before the Wii is, sometimes the Wii won't power up (green light comes on, no video output/black screen).
Turning on the Wii before turning on any peripheral device attached to the Wii eliminates the problem.
I do not know if the same applies to Wiis plugged directly into the Tv, but I suppose if the stereo audio channel of the TV is sending some signal back to the Wii, perhaps the Wii may fail to power up (green light, black screen behavior).
My current setup is Wii audio via stereo into Yamaha RX series receiver, Wii video out via component to an LCD projector. AV cables are pretty well shielded but about 35 feet long.
This may or may not be a Wii firmware issue; my Wii is about 10 months old.

Its bricked, means broken. If it was soft-modded, you could be fine. You have to hold the button to turn it off because bricked Wiis won't support WiiConnect24 anyways...
New to the wii world-hooked it up & can't seem to get the picture-have a new 37 in tv any suggestions?
SOURCE: LED turns green, but console doesn't start up
hum........ that is weird I'm not really sure how to fix that. But make sure all the cable from the wii are plugged in properly. For example: the red, yellow and white cables may look like they are plugged in but sometimes you have to push them in really hard to get them to work.
My wii does that sometimes in the middle of a game it just goes black so I just have to walk up to the TV and make sure they are im properly.
If the power light is green or orange and your screen remains blank, follow these steps.

when we were p,laying with the wii suddenly the screen became green and the power turned off and until now its off and it doesnt open
last night we played the wii just fine; today nothing! turned on manually, light green but no signal to tv. then can't turn system off, even manually, light stays green. tried unplugging cables from tv and replugging them at different site; still no response. the only way to turn system off is to unplug from power source and re plugging to power, then system shows red/off. the whole thing starts over again however, and no signal has been had :(

just purchased wii fit and now noone can play.
I just purchased the wii fit. Â Now I have the same problem. Â The wii always turned on fine before. Â Now it is very inconsistent. Â I turn it on and it shows the green button, but there is no signal on tv. Â After unplugging it and plugging it back in about 7 times waiting and talking to it, it finally starts up again by luck. Â Why oh why?
Wii LED Green, but no Startup on screen. Cannot power off either.
same problem as others have reported. Â Wii green power light on, disc accepted, screen blank, unable to power off using buttons. Â When AC plug removed and put back in, works fine (even with disc still in). Â This happens to us with MarioKart as well as Rock Band
Wii LED Green, but no Startup on screen. Cannot power off either
i have the same problem please help me do you have a solution
My Wii turns on, the disc spins, but there is no audio/diveo signal. The remotes won't sync either.
I was surfing the Internet channel looking up movie listings and my system froze. The pointer wouldn't respond and I couldn't turn it off using the Wiimote. I held the power until the system completely shut down and then when I powered it on again, the LED went green but no picture (not even the initial 'warning' screen). The Wiimotes just flash and don't appear to have any connectivity. I unplugged everything from everywhere for about 15-20mins but no luck. Unless someone has any other suggestions, I'll unplug it overnight and call Nintendo tomorrow.
no screen shows when i put disc in console
Exactly the same problem - Wii worked for a year and then 'black screen'. Can turn on and off but not with remotes. Accepts discs and ejects but nothing on screen.
Same problem here. For me it started to happen once I have replaced Wii's internal Battery.
Wii LED Green, but no Startup on screen. Cannot power off either. problem
Same here. Turning on the device gives me the green light, I hear the drive spinning a bit. The TV stays black, no signal. Can turn it off though by pressing power for a couple of second. Disconnecting the powersupply for a couple of minutes didnt work either.
I have had this problem for months, turn wii on green led light comes on, black screen on tv, sometimes you hear the drive spinning, you click buttons on the wiimote and they just blink a few times and nothing else happens, if I turn it off and on and off and on like 50 times sometimes it takes like 45 minutes it will work...but you should not have to do this
Wii is switched on green light working but blank screen on TV. What should I do?

Same deal, green LED is on but just keep getting a black screen. Tried turning off the power pack for a few minutes, didn't help. Have also tried using different power packs, starting with the video cable unplugged, tv on and off, but no joy. Any help appreciated.

Same deal here, green LED comes on but just get a black screen. can take the disc or eject it, and can turn off the wii by holding down the power button for about 5 seconds. Tried everything mentioned here, unplugging everything for a few minutes, turning off the TV, un plugging the video cables even, but no joy. Any help appreciated.
