So maybe a year and a half ago I homebrewed an old Wii. It worked awesomely and never had any problems. About 2 weeks ago my daughter went to turn it on and play with a friend and nothing happened. Our Samsung 8 series smart tv just said no signal. I restarted it a few times and it started going to the wii menu for less than a second and then going back to no signal. I tried it on a TCL tv as well to see if the Samsung might be having an issue...same thing. I was using a Portholic Wii to HDMI converter.
I figured the converter went bad so I bought another one. Same issue. Flashed the wii menu for a split second and then nothing. I knew the wii was on because I could feel the controller vibrations, so I found an old component cable and hooked it up to an old tube tv we have in the basement. Fired right up but it was in black and white.
I tried to change the tv resolution settings to the other option but still no luck. It's still flashing the wii menu and then "no signal" I bought a Portta component to HDMI converter and tried that on the other TVs but still nothing.
Any ideas? When it's hooked up to the old tube tv it works fine. Games play, no problems. The fact that it just started happening after over a year or perfect functionality has me stumped. Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
