While attempting to fix my grabage disposal this afternoon, I accidentally turned off a circuit breaker in my home and turned it back on while Wii was running on the circuit and now it won't power up AT ALL I'm afraid I fried it somehow. No lights come on, red or green, no noise, no activity. So I guess I have a few questions:

1. Does it have some kind of internal fuse or circuit breaker that I could reset?
2. If I leave it unplugged for awhile, will it come back to life?
3. Could I fix this myself?
4. Assuming I have to send it back (it's under warranty, in fact I've only had it since Christmas) are the Nintendo police going to come and get me because it's softmodded? Legend of Gamma and Homebrew Channel are on the main page.
5. Has this ever happened to anyone else or am I the only freaking idiot to fry his Wii?

God, I hope there's some easy fix to this. Thanks.


EDIT: Well, apparently unplugging it and letting it sit for 15 minutes solves the problem. Sorry for the stupid questions...My wife was PISSED though, she likes to Wii Yoga in the morning.

    @salazarcosplay, i think it would have been impossible to see anything in a gameboy mini
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    well I meant that as a figure of speech

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @LeoTCK, atleast it's still avaliable
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    yes but it wasn't meant to be a comedy thread
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    and edge of the forum is mostly comedy and games
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    so I don't get why it got moved at all
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @LeoTCK, mods are probably hating you
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    on most sites mods hated me, sooner or later, but usually over time I get either banned or the mods get used to me
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    sometimes to the point of thanking me for my quick actions etc against spam and other stuff, but yea...its either they come to respect me or outright hate me

    If it's not game related, it will be moved to the Egde of the forum. Mods have moved a few of my threads also.
