Wii was paused and thenit shut itself off and will not turn back on??

Do you think it's the battery? Or maybe the back. If the wii loses power, either the game you are in will immediately pause or it will continue moving in the same direction you pointed it in before the wii lost power

I had the same issue, but with an external HDD. Whenever I booted the Wii with the EHDD in the USB, it would turn on then off. I unplugged the EHDD, worked like it was supposed to. After the Wii went to the main menu, I plugged the EHDD into the USB, and it shut off. Sometimes it would take 20 seconds to shut off, but it did.

By accident, I found the solution. I had a bad power supply. I used a different power supply, and the USB issues went away.

1. • 1 Disconnect any accessories, such as GameCube controllers or SD cards.
     
   • 2 Unplug your Nintendo Wii AC adapter from the wall outlet and from the back of your Nintendo Wii. Leave the adapter disconnected for two minutes. Reconnect the adapter to the console and plug the outlet end straight into a wall outlet, not a surge protector.
     
   • 3 Remove the AC adapter from the wall outlet again. If the Wii has yet to turn on, the problem may lie within your electrical outlet. Plug a lamp, nightlight or something electrical into the outlet the AC adapter was connected to. If the outlet appears to work, then you'll have to test the AC adapter itself.
     
   • 4 Run your fingers along the AC adapter cable and visually look for any damage, such as frayed wires or a cracked piece of cable. Also look for the model number "RVL-002" and "Wii" on the adapter. If you don't see the "RVL-002" model number and "Wii" on the adapter, then you are using an unlicensed adapter, which can cause instability and power failure. If the adapter has incurred any damage, you will likely have to buy a new adapter.
     
   • 5 Spray air to clean out the vents on the back of the Nintendo Wii. If your Wii has been sitting for a long time, then dust and dirt may have built up around the vents, preventing the console from cooling itself. If the console cannot cool itself, it overheats and shuts down.
     
   • 6 Click "Start," "Internet Explorer" and visit the Nintendo repair page (see Resources) to open a repair claim. If you tried the above steps and your Wii has yet to power on, your system probably needs professional repair.
     

If the system turns on but then turns itself off, beeps at you and flashes its lights at you then you have over heated the system. The GPU chip has problem pulled itself away from the board. This will require you to disassemble.......

Hi,
If tv shuts off and turns back On itself than lamp is weak and need to be replaced.
If tv shuts off but does not turns On itself than you will see red light blinking on tv front, let me know how many times it blinks, there would be pause of 3 seconds in blinks so count pause to pause and post here to provide you helpful info about problem.
Thanks.

So you have a sticky button sounds like? from your statement it seems to be working fine off and on.

I suggest you get another ps3.

If the wii just shuts off by itself it is the power supply which is the power cable and you can purchase it directly from nintendo.com

Is pix ok before shutdown?

If convergence is wildly misaligned then load may be shutting down power supply. Fix convergence and TV OK.
