I'm having trouble with my Nintendo Wii... can you please help me?

Okay, I got my Wii in like October,2007. It was working perfectly fine until like 2 weeks ago! Before when I turned it off, the red light would come on.... that's good right? But now the light is like an orangy, yellow color and the disk thing is turning blue all the time when it is supposed to be off!!!! What should I do? Help me please!!

(P.S. There is no disk in the unit when this is happening...)

    this isn't a bad thing. don't worry

    you have it hooked up to the internet, right?

    that's why.

    WiiConnect 24 sends you updates and info even when your system's power is off. The orange light means it's in Standby mode, the power is off, but you can still recieve messages. When you recieve a message, the disc slot lights up.

    if this stuff bothers you, you can turn all this off in the options menu, under "WiiConnect 24".

    There are separate options to turn off Standby mode, and to turn off the slot illumination when you get a message.

    when your yellow light comes on it means that you turned off your console but your still online (which is good) and everytime when the blue light comes on it means that you got a new message. and you can view it when you go to the wii's menu and on the bottom right corner there is an envelope with the number and click it and you should see your mail.

    the yellow light is your internet connection on the wii(it happens to me too)and to cut it off,you have to turn it on then after you turn it on,you press the power button and hold it for 10 sec or more.if you did it right,then the light should turn red like in the old days :)

  • Menacing is exactly right!
