Launched in 2006, the Nintendo Wii is Nintendo’s motion-controlled home gaming unit. Nintendo currently offers a value or economy model of the Wii called Wii mini as well as the original Wii gaming console. Nintendo Wii is known to appeal to a wider range of customers than other gaming consoles. The Nintendo Wii offers users a fun interface, different channels and the ability to create a personal avatar, or ‘mini.’ Since 2006, over 100 million Nintendo Wii gaming units have sold around the world.

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.
