plz help i found dust in my wii

[yogirlalyssa]

i didn't know this, but the wii i had used for a long time had an extreme amount of dust near the fan and on the mesh on the bottom of the wii. please help me, i don't know how to clean it!

How about something as simple as opening it up and cleaning it? Is doing a Google or YouTube search on how to disassemble and/or clean a Wii too difficult? It's literally one of the easiest consoles to take apart.

The way you take it apart, but in reverse.

Whilst you have your Wii opened up, you can examine your SD slot for damages.

Take it outside and hose it down



just take it apart and clean the fan, compressed air should be fine

The Wii is a pretty solid construction with few potenial pitfalls on disassembly.
Be careful when disconnecting the drive (if you want to go that far -- and not only clean the fan)
Guides on ifixit (link above) are usually a good starting point. Notice the many different kinds of screws. In my opinion the hardest point is remembering which type goes where (but the ifixit guide tells it anyway).

Good idea taking the other thread in account

I mean, this would work, you would just have to wait a long time before turning it back on.
