Have a nintendo wii that after 20 mins of playing freezes and the side of the console is really hot , just noticed that the fan does not work at the back, all vents are clear etc etc would a new usb cooling fan solve this problem
Yeah for sure you aren't going to want to use it until the cooling fan is operational, you're lucky that you didn't kill it altogether. Try unplugging the fan wire, cleaning the metal contacts, and plugging it back in. If that doesn't do it, replace it. If you can't buy aftermarket cooling fans, try looking for wii parts on ebay. Aside from that, do all you can to keep it cool..... don't stack it in-between other warm electronic components (tv, dvd player, etc.), don't place it on a carpeted floor (the carpet will insulate the heat and keep it warm), etc.
Testimonial: "thankyou :)"
apprecaite that i will do what u suggest, if it still doe not work, is the usb cooling fan for wiii console of any use or am i better just putting a new fan in the console
You're welcome. I'm not sure of what to suggest with the cooling fan, I'd kind of have to see what you have (my knowlege is electronics based and not wii specific). The important thing is to have air circulating through and cooling the electrical components inside that console.... really whichever product you feel will do the job best. Good luck!
appreciate all ur help :)
