How to Handle Error Codes 52030 and 32002

Receiving these error codes is common when navigating the Wii. Typically, these error codes refer to an issue with the router. First, change the channel of the router from 1 to 11. Then, try changing the Wii’s security setting to WPA from WEP. If that does not work, try temporarily disabling the security on your Nintendo Wii temporarily and then restarting your Wii. 

 

The Nintendo Wii Remote Fails to Direct Motion

Discovering that your Nintendo Wii remote is not working can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you are having a party or friends over to play games. Nintendo actually suggests “slapping” the remote, also called the Wiimote, to try to get it to start again. Sometimes Wii remotes stop working because the inside sensor becomes loose or damaged. When the inside sensor does not work, motion detection will fail to work. One option is to disassemble the Wii remote and put the sensor back in its proper place and then reassemble the remote. 

 

Disc Read Errors on Nintendo Wii Consoles

Another common problem with Nintendo Wii consoles involves disc read errors. Users will receive a warning saying “disc could not be read” or “unable to read the disc.” Common causes of disc read errors include dropping the Wii or jolting the Wii. First, try unplugging the Nintendo Wii and letting the console sit for a while unplugged. Try plugging the Nintendo Wii back in and turning it back on. Sometimes disc read failure is caused by thermal stress (overheating) or a faulty laser lens. If your Nintendo Wii feels hot to the touch, turn it off and take it to a cool area for an hour or so. If you are still seeing a disc read error, you may need to take your Wii to a professional repair shop. 

 

Hardware Problem Error Codes 

Error codes 110210, 110211, 110212 and 110213 usually indicate that the Nintendo Wii has a problem with the hardware. Users have reported finding hardware issues after updating their Nintendo Wiis. Typically, when hardware issues occur, you will need to take your Nintendo Wii to a Nintendo Wii repair shop. 

 

The Nintendo Wii Will Not Turn on

Finding out that your Nintendo Wii will not turn on is another frustrating experience. A wide variety of issues can cause a Wii to not turn on. In some cases, resetting the AC adapter will fix the problem. To try resetting the AC adapter, unplug the Nintendo Wii from the wall outlet. Unplug both ends from the console, as well. Wait a few minutes, then plug the Nintendo Wii back and try turning the console on again. If resetting the AC adapter does not work, a damaged motherboard or a damaged power supply could be the culprit. Sometimes Nintendo Wii systems fail to turn on because of the WiFi boards or the Bluetooth boards which may need to be replaced in order to fix the Wii. 

 

The Nintendo Wii Turns Off Randomly During Game Play

A poor AC adapter could be the reason that the Nintendo Wii shuts off during use. Follow the steps outlined above to reset the AC adapter. Alternatively, a third-party accessory could be interfering with stable gameplay. If you are using any third-party hardware or tools that are plugged into the Wii, try removing them and turning the Wii on and off to see if that solves the problem. 

The problem could also be as simple as the Nintendo Wii overheating. Try turning the console off, letting it cool down, and then turning it back down. Place your Nintendo Wii in a cool area and make sure that it does not overheat during play. 

 

The Nintendo Wii’s Sound Stopped Working

If you turn on your Nintendo Wii and see no picture or hear no sound, your Wii may not be plugged in properly. Be sure your TV is on the correct input, usually the video channel. If that does not work, make sure the mute function is not turned on with your remote control. Finally, make sure that the audio-video cable is plugged in correctly to the Nintendo Wii and the television. Sometimes the cables are not plugged into the correctly colored, corresponding spots which can cause audio and visual issues with the Wii’s display.

 

Wrist Strap Problems with Wii Remotes

Some Wii wrist remotes are not strong enough to keep the remote connection and the strap attached. If you have older remotes, you may want to consider upgrading. Nintendo Wii now offerers remotes with thicker wrist straps and no-slip covers to help Wii players hold onto the remotes while playing and avoid injuries and property damage.

How to Clean Your PS4 PRO and PS4 Slim

f you are interested in cleaning out your PS4 and PS4 Pro, you will need to use some force to open up the console. First, unplug your PS4 and place it on a flat surface. Grasp the bottom front of the console’s top with your fingertips and gently pull it towards you. Tug on one corner, then the other corner, and alternate until the top plastic part breaks free. 

 

You will need to break the initial seal which will make a surprisingly loud noise. If you cannot break the seal, you may need to flex the outside plastic parts to get around the pieces holding it on, but the PlayStation is designed to allow people to do so. Once the fan is exposed, use a can of air to clean it out. Be sure to dust any other intake areas where dust can get trapped. Finally, pop the cowling back on and you will be done. 

 

How to Clean Your Original PS4

The hardest part of cleaning the original PS4 is getting the top of the console off. You will need a special screwdriver to take off the T8 Torx part. PS4 owners must get bits to unscrew the Torx nuts on the back of the PS4. These types of specialized screwdrivers are available on Amazon. Once you have secured the correct screwdriver, unplug all cables from your PS4. Place it on a flat, smooth surface. Remove three screws along the bottom of the console. These are the only screws on the bottom half of the device. Do not unscrew these screws unless you are prepared to void your warranty.

Put the screws away in a secure position. Flip the PS4 upside down. Next, remove the plastic cowling. You will be able to easily tip it up from the back, sliding it forward slighting to clear some of the sharp edges. The fan will now become exposed. Use the canned air to clean it from every single angle. Clean out the grills along the right and left sides of the console, as well. Place the cowling back on when you are done spraying canned air and then screw the screws back in.

 

Organizing Your PlayStation 4 Apps and Games

While the menu of the PS4 is intuitive to use, organizing games and apps can be helpful. When families share a PlayStation 4, creating a folder for each player in the family is a great way to avoid confusion. While you are in the menu section, select an application, then press the “options” button and choose “Add to Folder” from the selection on the side panel. Then, put the app in an existing folder or add a new folder and label it accordingly.

 

Set a Custom PlayStation 4 Background

New PlayStation owners might not know that you can take screenshots of the games that you own. You can then select one of your screenshots and make it the background of your PS4 home screen. Users can also customize their drop shadows on the text to make the entire screen more readable. Taking the time to customize your PS4 screen can add fun to your gameplay. 

 

Utilize the PlayStation Mobile App 

Playstation owners can utilize the Mobile App by Playstation which has plenty of desirable features. Users can use it for seeing what friends are playing, purchasing games, or as a keyboard or remote for your PS4. Typing on your phone in the app is much faster than attempting to use the PlayStation 4 controller to type in instructions. 

 

Customize Your Button Assignment 

PlayStation 4 owners can remap their buttons within their PlayStation application. Doing so will make your game even better as you will be able to quickly get to your most-used buttons. To make these changes, go to Settings then Accessibility, and then Button Assignments. 

 

Keep Your Playstation in a Clean Area

One of the best ways to ensure that your PlayStation has a long life is to keep it in a dry, safe area. Make sure that the fan has access to open-air so it does not become overheated. PlayStations sometimes overheat in entertainment cabinets. After playing games for an hour or so, touch the PlayStation to make sure it is not overheating. Do not keep your PlayStation anywhere near where a drink might spill on it. Also, be sure to dust your PlayStation once a month and clean out the fan so that debris will not build up and cause problems.

The Xbox One Will Not Update

If you are seeing a black screen with words saying “there was a problem with the update,” you are probably frustrated that you cannot use your Xbox One. Some Xbox One users have reported issues with during the mandatory Xbox One update phase. Unless your Xbox One updates, you will not be able to access most of the Xbox One features. 

The failure to update properly could be caused by a problem with your internet connection, or it could be an issue caused by Microsoft. Before contacting Microsoft, there are a few steps you can take to try to resolve the updating problem on your own. First, check your internet connection. Wifi internet can come in and go out quickly and the internet might have stopped working during your Xbox One’s automatic update. When the internet connection drops out, the update will usually fail. 

Try the update later and see if it works. When many Xbox One users attempt to update at all at once, Microsoft’s servers might crash. Wait an hour or more before trying again. Microsoft offers customers an Xbox Live Status website that offers live reporting of any server issues. Next, check your hardware to see if any wires are not properly connected to your Xbox One. Another option is to cycle your Xbox one by shutting it down, unplugging it, waiting 30 seconds, and then plugging it back in and turning it back on. This type of reset clears the Xbox One cache and resets the network card.

 

The Xbox Unexpectedly Powers Down 

Some Xbox One users have reported that their Xbox One consoles turn off unexpectedly on their own. Unexpectedly powering down could be a sign of a malfunction with the console itself. First, check the Xbox One’s ventilation system. Overheating is a common cause of consoles shutting down. If your console seems to be overheating or an object or shelf is blocking ventilation on the device, allowing the console to cool off and removing the obstacle could fix the problem. 

If the power brick light appears to be flickering on and off, the power system is the most likely culprit. Users can also ensure that their Xbox is not set to automatically turn on and off. You will find this option by clicking on Settings, then Power & Supply, then Turn Off. Next, select the Do not Turn off Automatically option. 

 

The Xbox One Controller is Not Syncing with the Console

It is incredibly frustrating when an Xbox One controller stops working and will not connect to your Xbox One. Connectivity and drifting issues with controllers are common problems experienced by users. First, make sure that your Xbox One controller has had all major updates. Next, make sure the batteries in your controller are functioning. If not, replace the batteries, turn off your console, and turn it back on again. Make sure you are in range when your controller stops working. 

When a controller begins drifting, make sure it has fresh batteries and install any necessary updates. If the controller continues to drift, power the device down and unplug the console. This process will empty your cache. If you restart the Xbox One and the problem remains, you may want to replace your controller. 

 

Xbox One Games Frequently Crash or Freeze

Trying to game with friends after a long day of work can become extremely stressful when games continue to crash or freeze. Many different issues can cause crashing or freezing Xbox One games. When the game freezes, press the home button to return to the dashboard. Press the menu button and select quit. This method is quicker than restarting the console or selecting another game because the first game continues to freeze. 

If a particular game keeps freezing or crashing, deleting and reinstalling the game could fix the problem. Go to your applications and select the game that is giving your problems. Press the home button and select uninstall. After uninstalling the game, native to the uninstalled applications section of your game library and then reinstall the game. Reinstalling the game could solve the issues. 

If the steps above do not work, you might need to reboot the resolution settings within the console. Remove any discs in the console, then press and hold the power button for five seconds. When the Xbox One light is no longer flashing, hold the power button and the disc eject button simultaneously. After it beeps twice, make sure your go-to your display and sound settings and change the resolution to either 1080p or 720p.
