Hello. Hope I'm in the right forum for this.

A couple weeks ago my house got hit by lightning. I'm guessing it came in through the cable, everything else was on surge protectors. Long story short I lost a lot of stuff. >.<


Now with this Wii, I've tried 3 different sets of component cables & 1 set of composite & get the same thing. I can hear the opening chirp when you press A at the health screen, (I have it set to press automaticlly through priiloader) followed by the menu music, but no video at all. I can still sync remotes to it & they seem to function normally. The usb port the hdd uses still works also but my lan adapter got fried so I'm not sure about the other port.

I hate to lose this system since GC compatible Wiis are getting harder to find around here, plus the advancements made with GC usb loading. Are there any good places that can repair this sort of thing besides nintendo?

More than likely the GPU fried, however as far as I know the Wii will refuse to boot if it's in that bad of condition. Try a different TV?

Try unplugging the power supply from the wii and the wall and let it set for half an hour to an hour, then reattach to wii and wall. On the site it says the power supply needs to reset just like a satellite reciever.

    ewww key shops...
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Why do you really want to use key shops nowadays? You're not really paying towards the companies who provided the keys, plus its very sketchy.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    https://gg.deals/game/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/ - I rather use the proper shops, but here are Key shops shown as well. They tell you the risks as well with each shop

    One of the keyshops is 95% off at the moment (probably humble bundle keys)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    And a small percentage of keys bought with a stolen credit card.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You never know if the key works or not, they don't provide a guarantee.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Sure is... and poor devs get hit with the charge backs

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Exactly.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    at least on steam
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
