    Hardware Did I kill my wii?

    I've checked the regions and they both match up (NTSC-U) and the disc even works with my other Wii. I've been trying everything I could think of but nothing has worked I've swapped out almost every piece with a working one from my other Wii and none of them do anything. I have noticed recently...

    Hardware Did I kill my wii?

    Okay, after cleaning it up I've noticed that the heatsink thing has some sort of corrosion on it. I cleaned as much as I could reach, but it's really hard to clean it.
