How To Fix A Wii

Just like other famous consoles, though, Nintendo抯 creation seems to have a few flaws, and numerous consumers are looking for repair solutions to Wii problems. If you抳e got this machine and you want to find out how to properly fix it, here are a few helpful hints you can try.

Dealing With Wii Error Codes

Many of the problems experienced by Wii users come in error code forms, instead of hardware issues. Wii has several common error codes, and here are the proper ways to deal with them.

* Error Codes 110210, 110212, 110211 and 110213 - These show signs of a hardware problem in your Wii system. They often appear when your Wii is updated to 2.0U. You need to bring your machine to the nearest Nintendo service center, if these codes appear.
* Error Code 51130 - When this comes up the screen, try to press the 搑etry?button a few times. Keep trying, and eventually your console will start working properly again.
* Error Code 32002 and 52030 - When these appear on the screen, the problem lies in the Wii抯 router. Solve this by changing the router channel from 1 to 11. If nothing happens, change the security type from WEP to WPA. You can also disable toe security temporarily. Check if this tactic helps.
* Error Code 220602 - Another router issue that many users come across. Try to move the Wii closer to the wireless router. If this fails, switch the primary and secondary DNS servers on the console. That should bring it back to normal.

Wii Disc Read Error

Another common dilemma Wii users encounter when using their machine is the errors than indicate an unreadable disc. The screen will show signs with 揇isc could not be read?or 搖nable to read disc? Oftentimes, this appears when the Wii took a severe jolt, like if it was dropped. To solve this, unplug the power cord from the console, and let sit for a few minutes. Plug it back in, then try again. Many users find this effective, but if it doesn抰 work for you, you might need to have your Wii serviced.

Wii Remote Problems

Aside from Error Codes and Disc Error, another factor Wii users complain about is the Wii Remote. Despite its revolutionary and impressive functions, the Remote is also one of the parts that often needs repair. Here are ways on how to solve your Wii Remote dilemma.

* Check the sensor bar, and make sure it抯 inserted and attached tightly to the Wii抯 back area.
* Put the sensor bar below or above your TV, depending on where you indicated it should be during setup.
* Change the Remote抯 batteries. Sometimes, you encounter trouble with your remote before it shows that the batteries need changing. If your Wii抯 all fixed, it抣l tell you promptly when the batteries are getting low.
* Cordless computer keyboards, wireless phones and other kinds of radio-based devices can make your Wii Remote stop working properly. You should also watch out for radio interference.
* When you抮e using the Remote, make sure you抮e at least three feet, but and no more than 10 feet, away from it.
* Take away anything that抯 standing between the console, the sensor bar and the Wii Remote.
* Don抰 use the Remote in the sunlight, or near a candle or a fireplace. Any interference from an infra-red light source can also cause problems.

Although it抯 more advisable to bring your Wii to a service center when it encounters problems, trying these do-it-yourself repair tactics won抰 hurt.
