Hardware Wii not starting up

[DragLeben]

My Wii's stuck with a red light on when I plug it. I tried turning it on using the console and remote's power button and it doesn't respond.

I already tried unplugging it for 2 days and trying on a different socket but it still doesn't work.

Any help about this is other than call Nintendo is appreciated. I don't live within the US to call them for technical support.

I had the problem last month... except once I unplugged it, and plugged it back in, tyhe red light wasnt turning itself back on... it was dead dead... I tried everything and lastly I called nintendo, i had to send my console away to them, 2 weeks later it came back... well it was a totally new console, and they couldnt even restore my saved data

If your red light does light up after plugging in... you tried Holding the power button on the console for a few seconds? like 10seconds... this is like a hard reset...
