Nintendo Wii Console Logo
Anonymous Posted on Jan 06, 2011

My Wii has a red light when plugged in, and a green one while turned, on, the problem is, nothing is displayed on the tv or heard, also, the disk drive whirrs for a few second after turning on. The tv knows the Wii is trying to send a signal because the "No Signal" text disappears after turning on the Wii. Wiimotes will not connect and are currently useless, any help?

If the light is red, it means WiiConnect24 is turned off. Green means the system is turned on and it's normal for the Wii to whirr a bit when it's initially turned on.
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.
That said, Nintendo recommends calling them if this doesn't fix your problem. Hope this helps.

    Hi there,

    I did a bit more research for you and came across a few more steps you can try to resolve your problem:

    The first thing to determine is to turn your speakers up and turn on the Wii. Turn on your Wii Remote too and press the A Button. If you hear some sound in the background then that narrows it down to a video problem.

    Second, check the pins in the back of the Wii, where the power cable plugs in. If they're bent, that could be a cause to your Wii not receiving a picture.

    Third, make sure you TV is on the right input. If you're using component cables make sure you're display is set to component. If you're just using AV Cables, make sure it's not set to component.

    I would also suggest going up to a place like Future Shop or Best Buy. Purchase some component cables for the Wii and save the receipt. If it doesn't work, take them back and get your money back. If they work, then the problem was with the wiring. If they don't work, there's something wrong internally and you need to get your Wii serviced. You can call Nintendo for assistance in sending your Wii in for repairs.

The Wii turns on and will take a disk but nothing shows up on the tv screen.

Make sure that the cord from the console is secure in the Wii and the three colors are plugged into the T.V. in the same color plugs. There is a Yellow for picture, white and red for stereo sound. You probably need to access the TV menu and change the "input" to whatever your Wii is plugged into. For example "A/V 1" or aux.

My hubby just gave me a wii . how do i connect it to the tv

Plug the red yellow and green plugs into the corrosponding color plug in your tv in "inputs". It may be in the back. Yellow is the video plug, red is the audio plug, and white is the mono plug. Plug the end of that into the Wii console. Finally, you mount the sensor bar on the top or below your tv. It has adheasive to make it stick. Center it in the middle of your tv. Plug it in and insert the Wii Sports disk. Change to the correct inputs for video games, I think Composite. That's all there is to it. Turn it on. A Wii scren should appear. Next you have to sync the remotes. The one that came with the game is done for you. With additional remotes you have to open the battery compartment on the remote and open the compartment on the Wii console. You have to press the red sync button at the same time on both items. Turn the remote on. The second remote should now work. Have fun with you Wii.
