Released in North America in November 2006, the Wii was Nintendo's first home console to directly support Internet connectivity, supporting both online games and digital distribution of games and media applications through the Wii Shop Channel.

Wii will not turn on

Hello,

My Wii will not turn on.

I plug the A/C adapter in the power outlet and check with a multimeter : I get around 12V.

Now I plug the A/C adapter in the Wii and the light doesn’t turn red. If I unplug the power adapter and check the voltage, I get 0V. If I let the power adapter sit disconnected for 2 minutes to reset it and try again, it goes back to 12V, and back to 0V as soon as I plug the Wii.


Do you know what could cause this issue?

Hi @alamaree

Most probably inside Wii there is some shorts.

as a precaution the power adapter will shut off to prevent further damage to both.

you will need to access to the mainboard section to inspect the components

What do we do from there if the circuitry within the wii is a problem?

This could be caused by your adaptor. It probably does not work with your wii. Try a different adaptor. If it still does not work, maybe your wii’s motherboard is broken, or it can’t take power anymore. Best open it and look for the problem. If you are not familiar with opening a wii, you can use this guide: Nintendo Wii Teardown

Good luck!
