Hey everyone, been a viewer for a while now, and have my first question that i havent been able to find the answer to…
I just bought another wii with the intentions to build it into a wii portable. The problem is i went to power it on, and it wont output a signal. I read that it could be the wifi module, so i swapped in a good working one, and even tested this one’s module in a working wii. I swapped in another dvd drive, and another wiimote module. I tried resetting the power adapter, I tried everything you can google, and have not been able to get it to work.
It powers on fine, it wont display anything though. If you pop in a disk, it will take it in, spin it up, then stop it and do nothing. the only ways to power the system down are to unplug it or hold the power button.
With a disk in, if you power it up, it spins the disk up, ramps it up faster, moves the laser head, keeps the disk spinning, but does nothing. No output, nothing.
I can turn it on with the wiimote that came with it, but i cannot pair new ones to it, and as soon as the console is booted up, the wiimote disconnects and cannot reconnect.
Holding the reset button does nothing, gc controller does nothing. Ive tried different cables (composite as well as component out) different sensor bars, different power bricks, nothing has worked. Im not sure where to begin looking to repair this, so if anyone has any advice on where to start, that would be much appreciated.
