My perants wii is about a year old and never wanted me to chip it or anything
And have give it to me to have a look.
All wires are plugged in correct even tried my own and each time I turn on just a black screen the green light stays on and you cam hear the drive.

Is there anything I could

Did you even attempt to softmod it or is it 100% clean right now?

Have your parents successfully used it recently?
Check your TV to make sure you have the correct input set (if able). Ie. if you plugged in composite cables (red, white, yellow), make sure the TV's source is set to something like "AV1" and not "TV" or "HDMI" and whatnot.

They told me it was working then the next day they turned it on and just black screen.
It's never been softmodded so never been touched.
I've checked all leads and tried other ports, it's now at my house and tried my leads and still the same am baffled

Do the wii remotes light up?

If they do, can you turn off your wii with the wii remotes power button?

I believe it may still be under warranty if all else fails

The wii remote flickers on for a bit then go off. So I can turn the wii on with the remote then the remote turns off I've tried syncing it again. I ve found the reciept and it's just over a year old so might try the shop and hope they can sort it

Try turning off your wii by holding down the power button for 5 seconds. and try turning it off by unplugging the power cord FROM THE WII, not from the wall

I know that sounds rediculous, but when my very beat-up gamecube controller would short circuit my Wii, that fixed it

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
