I'll get straight to the point: my Wii just randomly decided to stop working. Pressing the power button turns it on and spins both the disc (ONLY if there was one before powering it on, see below) and the CPU fan.

It shows nothing on the screen (NOT a black screen, just "no signal"), pressing the power button once to turn it off does nothing (I have to either unplug it from the wall or press the power button for 10 seconds to force a shut down), the reset button is useless (even pressing power+reset doesn't bring Priiloader up), ejecting and spinning discs works but putting one back in doesn't (it sucks the disc but doesn't spin it afterwards, having a disc in before powering on the system does spin it as I said earlier).

Last thing I did with this Wii was doing the possible stupidity of powering it on and off and on and off repeatedly, then I started having these issues.

It has never been dropped and disassembling it reveals no oddities or disconnected cables or anything like that.

Hello.:)

Is the CPU Fan louder as usual ? Maybe there is a lot of "things" in your Wii like Dust and Dirt.:(
(I REALLY hope no other "living" Things...)
It is maybe not a bad Idea have a look into.

Did you check the TV Connections and TV Settings ?
Can you maybe try another TV and AV Cable and Power Supply ?

Thank you.:)

No, the CPU fan's loudness is normal, I also cleaned it from the inside a couple of months ago

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also the AV cable has been tested with another Wii, works fine, I also tried using another TV

Thank you for checking.:)

Can you turn on the Wii with the Wii Motion Controller ?
Turns the Wii´s LED from RED to GREEN when you press the Power button ?
Please unplug all USB Devices and Gamecube Equipment if you have.
Also please an SD Card if available.

Thank you.:)

I don't know, I don't have access to Wii remotes or the motion sensor right now. The LED turns from red to green when powering it on, and does nothing when trying to power it off (unless it's pressed for 10 seconds)

Did you also have removed any USB Devices/Gamecube Equipment and the SD Card please ?

I am very sorry,I do not have any more useful suggestions for you.:(
Maybe it is an Hardware issue (SMD Tactile Button/Bluetooth/WiFi Module....)

Thank you for your Patience and your Help.:)

    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
     +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
     +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
