Wii Console Won't Turn On, and Has No Power Light
Situation:
- The Wii console won't power on, and the Power LED is unlit
- The console powers on, but shuts off after a few seconds/minutes
- Attaching an accessory to the console turns the power off
Information:
This issue can be caused by an accessory or power surge tripping the circuit breaker on the AC Adapter.
What To Do:
- Check any accessories attached directly to the console to make sure that it is licensed and undamaged. Unlicensed or damaged accessories shouldn't be used with the console.
- Try using a different wall outlet, or plug a different device into the outlet to make sure the outlet is providing power.
- Perform an AC Adapter Reset. (How To)
Situation Not Resolved:If the system still won't power on, the system and AC adapter will need to be repaired. To start the repair process,

Wii Console Turns On, But Has No Power Light
Situation:
- The power LED on the system does not come on, but the system still powers on and plays
Information:
If the Wii Console is still working normally, it is likely that the power LED is broken.
This issue will remain limited to the Power LED, and will not get any worse.
Unless the system is having other problems, continue using the console regularly for a few weeks to determine whether this interferes with the enjoyment of game play.
Situation Not Resolved:
If, after using the system for awhile, the Power LED not coming on is too distracting, the Wii Console does carry a one-year warranty.
We are happy to inspect and, if necessary, fix the system at no charge within the warranty period. To start the repair process,
