Hello,
some months now i noticed some wierd noise on my wii picture signal.It happened all of a sudden one day.I am pretty sure that this is not a gpu issue as i read on the net,because those images i saw has nothing to do with mine.A gpu issue has a lot of green red blue dots which are actually pretty big.My problem is much less and i see only black small dots that are not much visible and only at certain places and not all over the screen.Do you know if installing a channel could cause me such a problem.Also could this be a nand problem?Has anyone had similar problem?The only thing i usually do on my wii is installing channels and uninstalling them.Also i tested everything including cables,480p 60hz 50hz,component,av so it is not an issue like that.

Happened to me, pretty sure it was because I left my Wii on connected to Connect24 for about 2 months without using it. It's much worse on cell-shaded games like Zak and Wiki, not really noticeable on more realistic games. If you have it turned on, I'd advise turning Wii Connect24 off to stop it getting any worse, it can get pretty hot and if you're not turning your Wii on to play for a long time then the fan doesn't kick in to counter it. I encountered the problem before I'd even soft-modded my Wii, so I don't think channels or anything cause it.

I have thankfully never had it happen but I would imgine it would gradually get worse.
There was a mention in another forum of a $10 Wii cooler that might keep it a bit cooler.

I am guessing it is no longer under warranty.

Well i have it very long time.About 3 and something years.It has 3.3e,i have a wiikey 1.3s i think in it and all the soft mods.i didnt update it because i dont find any reason to do that.Nothing interesting in new firmwares.if i open the console and put some thermal paste on gpu and tighten the heatsink will do domething?Have you heared anything that fixed such a problem.I have opened it completely before the back old days when i did the homemade gecko mode so i am familiar.


Moslty i use it for monster hunter tri online gaming so i think it will get worse.But i always had wii24 off.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
