Hey-a guys! Can you help me?
My Wii is from May 2008 (8 years old already). Any tips to take more care of it?
- It overheats when a disc is inserted and reading/playing and if WiiConnect24 is enabled without disc,on standy mode
- It can't read at all the Super Smash Bros Brawl disc (the disc channel says it's an unknown disc,but it works directly on the Wii U) (if I try for a second time it "works")
- In software: I only have two VC games,HBC and d2x cios.
- It's power adapter is always connected to the electricity.
- It's upside down instead of upright. Is that bad?
So... any tips?
I have a Wii from 2007 or so, and mine is still kickin' like new.
I maintain it by:
- My room is usually a cool and fairly dry environment.
- I dust the shelf I keep it on fairly often, and because I run a fan in my room on a near constant basis, air circulation is good, which is an easy way to combat dust build up.
- I also routinely check the console for dust, specifically both the air intake on the bottom and the fan on the back.
- If I see any I suck the dust out with my mini-shop vac on a low setting, afterwards I wipe down the outside of the unit with a damp cloth and leave it in front of my fan to dry before plugging it back into my TV.
- I keep the console's WiiConnect24 Off.
- I leave nothing in the disk slot. (I do occasionally check to make sure it works, which it does, still reads dual layer stuff fine, actually.)
- I load all games from an external USB hard drive.
