I'm trying to connect my Wii console to an old magnavox tv my aunt gave me. I don't know how to connect it because it doesn't have the tv/video button on it. I've tried reconnecting everything but I still get the same result, what should I do??

If the remote is its original one, there should be a button marked 'TV/AV'. Press this button to select inputs.

Yeah for sure you aren't going to want to use it until the cooling fan is operational, you're lucky that you didn't kill it altogether. Try unplugging the fan wire, cleaning the metal contacts, and plugging it back in. If that doesn't do it, replace it. If you can't buy aftermarket cooling fans, try looking for wii parts on ebay. Aside from that, do all you can to keep it cool..... don't stack it in-between other warm electronic components (tv, dvd player, etc.), don't place it on a carpeted floor (the carpet will insulate the heat and keep it warm), etc.

Check to see if your router has a setup for WiFi and if you don't know contact your internet supplier and ask them for assistance about setting up WiFi. Unfortunately The Wii does not have any wired connection capability or at least there isn't one on mine. Let me know if this does or doesn't work for you.

YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR RCA CONNECTIONS, THERE IS NO REASON YOU SHOULDNT HAVE COLOR. MAKE SURE THEY ARE COLOR CODED PROPERLY ON THE BACK OF THE TV.

hi karen andrews.i don't know i'm afraid.happy to help.kind regards, kj.
ps- i am a proud owner of a wii, but don't play it as i have no games. my fiend said he'd bring some over, but he doesn't know where i live.

well you open the wii configuration and go to the inernet con nection and when you open it up itll say internet connetion setup and system update and is the controler not connecting or is it just not turning on press the recoect button on the wii and controller at the same time if its not connected

If it doesn't read any cds, you could try asking Nintendo to repair it. I don't know how much that costs.

if you are smart, you read instructions thoroughly and you are willing to risk your wii to a small possibility of bricking you could try and softmodding your wii to play backup games through your external hard drive or sd card.

but i don't recommend it unless you are willing to put a lot of time and research into softmodding your wii.

Good luck

Looks like the AV port in your Philips television is busted. It's the only factor if the Wii is able to function with other tv with the same cable. You can either purchase a new television/get the one you have fixed (these will cost money) or you could just purchase an hdmi cable which doesn't use the same port so it could possibly work with your Philips television.

First step is to make sure the disc is facing the correct way in the console. If it doesn't work one way, flip it over to see if it works the other way.

If not; You will need to have your Wii connected to the internet to receive important firmware updates. Without these updates you will find that some newer games do not work with the console.

The Wii is a wireless internet device and will need to connect over the WiFi network.

If this still doesn't work after the update then refer to Nintendo for repair information.

Hope this helps.

You don't set it to any channel. You select what ever auxiliary input you connected the Wii to to begin with.
