Have you ever been playing your Wii and have it go blank on you and felt completely lost with nowhere to turn to repair you Nintendo Wii? Are you like me and do not trust the UPS, Fed X, USPS shipping centers with your precious electronics nor do you trust the so called repair centers that employ not-so competent technicians? Don't feel like you are alone. There are plenty of us that have been in your situation and frantically working to come up with a viable solution to get your Wii repaired and running again without having to send it half way around the world and risk loss or damage. I came up with what I thought would be the best option, repairing my own Nintendo Wii. You heard me right, I said repairing my own Wii. From what I understood, there are a handful of things that go wrong with the Wii console and with a helpful troubleshooting guide it is fairly easy to repair your Wii. Especially if there is some sort of support system in place to ask your own specific questions if needed.
This is my own story on how my Wii went bad and I had to come up with a solution. Playing one night on my Nintendo Wii with several friends and my Wii went dead! Playing Wii with my friends and family is one of my favorite pass times.
Now just exactly what do I do? The Wife and kids are residing at the in-laws house until the next day and this is the perfect time to spend having Wii competitions with my friends. But I have to come up with a solution to get my Wii up and running.
Obviously, shipping my gaming console to a repair center wouldn't get me up and running too fast. That could take days or even a couple of weeks before I could have my unit back. Not forgetting, if the repair center has a backlog of Wii consoles that require fixing too, getting my unit back will obviously take a lot longer. In addition, I have to worry about some, why don't we just say... unfortunate situations come up by sending my Wii away to be repaired.
The most memorable one is that it arrive working but has numerous scratches. Now I can't simply blame anyone as this could have happened at the repair shop or at transit or shipping. I'm a little OCD so I just gave away that unit.
You get the picture. I want to keep my second Wii scratch and blemish free and I do not feel like risking it again. I am far from having money to throw at buying another Wii.
So I proceeded to do some research and found a few discussions on a couple of top gaming forums and found some answers to help resolve my issue. From what I can tell there are a few options out there but only one that has a great reputation along with real email support. The Wii fix guide at this website seems to be the Cadillac of Wii repair guides. To top it off being able to ask questions and get a quick answer from a knowledgeable person is worth so much more.
So I followed the link to the website. The website looked great and made plenty of valid points on it being the best solution for those of us not afraid to do a little dis-assembly. Again, reading the part about free email support just completely sold me. No way was I going to pass up on attempting to fix my own Wii.
To finish my story I followed the Wii Fix Guide and I was up and playing my Wii that same night. Yay!
