Wii won't come on

When I turn on the power button the wii won't display the red light nor come on in any way. I have had my console for about 5 months. I have been playing quite often this past month with no problem at all. Is there something I can I can do manually to fix this problem?

This happened to me this morning....we had a storm last night and turned off the TV which the Wii was plugged into....so break all contact with things that the Wii was plugged into....try unplugging EVERYTHING from all outlets, TV etc....let it sit for a few and try it again...it started right up for me

    be sure to unplug the Wii cables from the TV...if I didn't make that clear...the TV last night powered off in the storm yesterday but the cables from the Wii into the TV were still connected....just make sure that the Wii is clear from being plugged into anything...I am not technical but maybe the TV was not allowing the Wii to get power due to the storm yesterday. Good Luck!!

My remotes were synced to another wii how do I re-sync them?

Step by step instructions on how to sync the Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus to the Wii console using Standard Mode.

Note:

Only a Wii Remote in Standard Mode can turn the Wii console power ON or OFF.

What to Do:

  1. Press the Power button on the Wii console to turn it on.
  2. Open the SD Card Slot cover on the front of the Wii console. If you are using a Wii mini, the sync button is located left hand side next to the battery compartment. The sync button is a darker shade of red than the console.
  3. Remove the battery cover on the back of the Wii Remote to be synced.
    • Some models of the Wii Remote include a hole in the battery cover and a tool on the wrist strap to push the SYNC Button with. With this model, the battery cover does not need to be removed to access the SYNC button.
  4. Press and release the SYNC button just below the batteries on the Wii Remote; the Player LED on the front of the Wii Remote will blink. While the lights are still blinking, quickly press and release the red SYNC button on the Wii console.

  5. When the Player LED blinking stops and stays lit, the syncing is complete. The LED that is illuminated indicates the player number (1 through 4).
  6. This sync procedure must be followed for each additional Wii Remote added to the system.

Reset the AC adapter by following steps below.

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.

I put new batteries in my wii remote and they are flashing but they aren't turning on

you probably have to resynch them. turn off the power button on console, then unplug from wall for 5 seconds. plug back in and turn on console. when the health and safety displays on the screen open the front of the console and press and hold the red synch button for at least 15 seconds. this clears all previous synchs. open the back of the wii remote and press and release the red button by the batteries. then press and release the synch button on the console. this should re synch the remote. repeat for any other remotes.

Yellow light on wii

It's just the way the wii works. Hold the power button for about 5 seconds and the power button will go red and turn off instead of going yellow and going into standby mode.

Wii Console will not turn off. After pressing the Power off button the console light goes from green to yellow (not red.) After about 5-10 minutes the blue light will start to cycle on and off and the game...

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.
