Hardware Wii not displaying red colors

[FGOD]

A while ago I decided to turn on my old Wii again and noticed that the signal was missing red. Back then I suspected the component cable so I ordered another one from Ali Express but it had the same results.

Due to the Wii U being out at that time I just replaced my Wii with the Wii U and put my old Wii in the attic to look at it later on as I started to suspect the problem was with my TV itself.

Sadly yesterday I connected my Wii to a monitor with with a RCA to VGA box and I was presented with the same issue so the problem seems to be the Wii itself... Anybody has experience with this and know how to fix this or what it could be? I have a spare Wii that doesn't turn on at all which I could use as a donor for parts...

Probably bad caps?

Oke, nevermind, seems that changing the image in the settings fixes it, so probably that is the difference between the component and RCA cable...

Still wondering why the component one failed though on my old TV a few years back with 2 different cables, but I guess that might have been just a bad new cable

Seems it is still problematic... I bought a wii2hdmi and a component to HDMI box. The Wii2HDMI refuses to output anything on my Wii but works on my WiiU and the component to HDMI box shows flickering image and when I enter the settings it shuts down all image, so I am unable to select any other mode then 50pal...

I guess I have to open my Wii again to check the caps... If there is somebody with experience in this with the Wii that is willing to guide me, that would be great as I have no idea where to look other then in the neighborhood of the connector

I'd say look at this video from MattKC where he replaced the caps in order to restore Component video output to a Wii he bought for cheap in Japan.

I'm guessing it could be the same caps that takes cares of the colors.

Wow, thx! I've been looking a lot online sabot this issue and came up empty handed because everything I could find was related to the settings it bad cables instead of hardware. This is amazing! Will look into that for sure!

Sembra che sia ancora problematico... Ho acquistato un wii2hdmi e un box componente-HDMI. Il Wii2HDMI si rifiuta di trasmettere alcunché sulla mia Wii ma funziona sulla mia WiiU e il box componente-HDMI mostra un'immagine tremolante e quando entro nelle impostazioni spegne tutte le immagini, quindi non riesco a selezionare nessun'altra modalità se non 50pal...

Immagino che dovrò aprire di nuovo la mia Wii per controllare i cappucci... Se c'è qualcuno con esperienza in questo con la Wii che è disposto a guidarmi, sarebbe fantastico perché non ho idea di dove guardare se non nelle vicinanze del connettore

Ho lo stesso problema: con il cavo compontente non vedi il rosso. Hai risolto in qualche modo?
