My samsung lcd tv will only show me black and white when i plug my wii in component 2, how do i make it go back to color?

Some newer TVs do not have the traditional "yellow" video input, known as an "AV" connection. Even without that input, you should be able to use the standard three-color Wii AV Cable that came with the system.

What to Do:

1. Look for "component" inputs on your TV. These connections have a row of five differently-colored inputs (green, blue, and red for video, white and red for audio). If you have more than one set of component inputs, it's the first set that generally works with standard AV cables. Look for a set that has a green input with yellow around it, or the word "video" just above or below it.
2. Plug the yellow end of the Wii A/V cable into this green "Y" input. Plug the white end into the audio "L" and the red into the audio "R." Leave the blue and second red holes open.


3. Turn on your Wii console and set your television to the input select being used.
4. If you are seeing the image from the Wii in black and white, try the following to get the image in color:
   • Cycle through your television's input channels (usually with the "Input Select" or "Source" button on your TV's remote control) to find the input select that has the image in color.
   • If you're only finding the image in black and white, you may need to switch the setting of the input select from a component signal to a standard AV signal. This can be done by:
     • An on screen menu option. This is often accessed by using the "Menu" button on the remote.
     • A button on the remote that switches between the standard and component signals. These can be labeled such things as "AV" or "Video."

in the component area o
n back of tv connect wii's cables to the bottom row. yellow = bottom right with yellow circle and red and white to then going to the left and skipping 2 holes plug red and white into audio left and right . then set source on tv to AV

You need component output on your Wi. You should have 2 AV jacks on your TV. I am guessing you have a red,white ,and yellow for your WI? That is made to hook up in the AV and NOT the component.If you have red,green,and blue? You might just have a bad cable,that is why it is in B&W. Or hook your Wi to your suround sound AV input if it has one. It is hard to give you all the answers with the info you provided.
But this is a educated guess. hope it helps. Todd

P.S. Be carefull with your controlers, SEVERAL accidents of them hitting the TV and breaking the screen. Play nice. :)

If you are using the original component cable that has the Red, White and Yellow you need to purchase a Wii Component Video Cable.This cable is compatible and will solve your problem it will have a Red,White - Red, Green, Blue that will match the component Cable input on the back of your T240 HD Monitor.

The only way I was able to get around this was to plug into use component 1 then plug the yellow into the green on the far right. The problem I now have is that I can only use component 1. When I plug a dvd or wii into component 2, it shows still shows up in black & white, even when I plug the yellow into the green. I am not a happy Samsung owner.

pls.set compnent 2 is on and set menu key on remot cantrol select system menu and see on display colour system is not proper . re set colour system is select AUTO and see the pictur is normal and ok.

You are connecting it into the wrong input. The Wii comes with a RCA cables that should go into the Video (composite) input that has yellow, red, and white. The component input will not work with the RCA cable input. Plug your Wii into Video1 and you should get the right colors. There should be another HDMI on the side of your TV, there are inputs located both on the back and side of the TV for your convience.

You should plug the Wii into the AV1 or 2 on the LCD TV and make sure that the RCA plugs are pushed in all the way. Also make sure that you have the plugs properly inserted into the back of the Wii. If all is connected verify the settings on the TV's menue and make sure that they are all correct. You may also want to verify the settings on the Wii menu.

I figured it out,
The solution to my problem was to update my video cables for my new HDTV.
I found out through trial and error that I can only have one Anolog device hooked up to the TV because with two Anolog devices hooked up the same way it must confuse the TV somehow making one of the inputs showing up in Black and White, So I purchased the color coded AV jacks and everthing works like a charm now.
