We had a small power outage while the console was on, now the power wont come back on??

You can try to Reset the AC adapter by following steps below.

1. Unplug the xbox 360 AC adapter at both ends (from the back of the system and from the wall outlet or power strip).

2. After you've waited a full 2 minutes, plug the AC adapter back in on both ends and check to see if the power light comes on.

If this doesn't work it's probably fried from the power surge.

1)Turn off your playstation. If you think your ps3 has been caught by the heat, then wait at least 20 minutes and put it back on again
2) Check if there's any loose cable.
3) Try to put out your playstation's hard-drive, and put it back in. You might want to repeat this 2-3 times for better results.

If this did not work send to sony to get fixed

my guess is the voltage got too great and blew out the power. therefore your wii got a jolt of electricity so high it blew a fuse

It needs a new power supply. When the power came back on, most likely a surge damaged the power supply.

I buy mine at http://parts.consolerepairguy.com they run about $35 each.

I run a repair business and that place has best prices aside from Hong Kong which I don't trust.

Whenever I have a really bad thunderstorm that ends up in a power outage my wii does the exact same thing...

I don't know what the cause is but what you should do is just unplug it for about 12 hours (about how long i leave it unplugged everytime), plug it back in and if it is the same problem as I have it should work fine (until another power outage...)

BUT if it still doesnt power up leave it unplugged for another 6 hours, after that if it still wont turn on id call nintendo and find out what the problem is...

Unplug the wii power cord from the wall and the wii for 5 mins. to reset the brick on the power cord.

It probly short circuted or somthing..Unplug it w8 a couple hours then plug it back in and try again..it might not work ever again if it was turned on durring the power outage

did you try the pwr button on the console not just on the remote?

it might have still been fried, some electronics are sensitive- or it was in the middle of an update

When this same thing happened to me, I unplugged the Wii power supply from the wall (not just from the back of the Wii) and let it sit unplugged for about 10 minutes. When I plugged it back in, everything was fine.

Best suggestion I can tell you is try unplugging your Wii for 2 minutes. Then plug it back in, and try again. I know it sounds weird, but I've done it for a few things after power outages/surges.
If that doesn't work, contact Nintendo.
