So recently I felt like playing some Project M, only to find this appear on my TV screen when I turned the Wii on. It just kept showing lines going back and forth with these colors, and I don't know why this is happening but I don't like it. I made sure everything was plugged in correctly and I still have this issue. This is the first time I've seen this, in MY WHOLE LIFE of my Wii console use history. I tried using the quick loader menu (the white screen that appears with a bunch of options to go straight to a channel/game by holding the reset button) and by just normally turning it on. I can obviously tell that this is probably a defect inside the system, but I wonder: how could this have happened? Am I completely screwed and shouldn't waste my time sending it for repairs?
*Note that this system has RARELY been dropped by falling on it's side when standing up. That's the hardest impact the system ever came to*
