SOURCE: Wii will not turn on. No power to console

I had an odd experience with this. After a power glitch, where there was a power failure that lasted just a second or two, my Wii would not turn on. It acted as though the power supply failed completely.

While I was trying to get to the power supply behind the TV, the phone rang and a neighbor was calling to borrow my Wii's power supply since he thought his might have failed. So obviously both of ours was affected by the power glitch, The happy news was that he called a bit later and told me that after leaving it unplugged from the outlet (the mains, for you europeans) for a period of time, it started working again when he plugged it back in.

So for those that encounter this, try that before hunting down a replacement.

wow that sucks, try going to gamestop in the morning and getting either a new or refurb/used one for about $20. hopefully you just blew the ac adapter and not the wii. also check to make sure you didnt trip the breaker the wii is on (check the breaker box/s around the house).
