Have you ever been playing your Wii and have it go blank on you and felt completely lost with nowhere to turn to repair you Nintendo Wii? Are you like me and do not trust the UPS, Fed X, USPS shipping centers with your precious electronics nor do you trust the so called repair centers that employ not-so competent technicians? Don't feel like you are alone. There are plenty of us that have been in your situation and frantically working to come up with a viable solution to get your Wii repaired and running again without having to send it half way around the world and risk loss or damage. I came up with what I thought would be the best option, repairing my own Nintendo Wii. You heard me right, I said repairing my own Wii. From what I understood, there are a handful of things that go wrong with the Wii console and with a helpful troubleshooting guide it is fairly easy to repair your Wii. Especially if there is some sort of support system in place to ask your own specific questions if needed.
Let me first tell you my story. Nothing ruins my Friday night more than a broken Wii console. I know some people like to go to a club to enjoy a drink, I do too every now and then. But when you just came from a hell-week with a tyrannical boss and mountains of paperwork, sometimes you just want to end the week at home playing with your beloved metal companion... the Nintendo Wii!
Now just exactly what do I do? The Wife and kids are residing at the in-laws house until the next day and this is the perfect time to spend having Wii competitions with my friends. But I have to come up with a solution to get my Wii up and running.
Of course I did explore a few conventional options such as sending my Wii in for repair. To one of those no-name repair shops with some guy named Bubba sticking his dirty fingers in my faithful Wii companion. No way. For starters who is going to guarantee fast and safe shipment to the center and secondly who says the shop is going to not cut and run with my Wii or try to fool me into paying hefty prices for un-needed parts and repairs or just keep my Wii and never send it back.
The most memorable one is that it arrive working but has numerous scratches. Now I can't simply blame anyone as this could have happened at the repair shop or at transit or shipping. I'm a little OCD so I just gave away that unit.
In plain words this is my second Wii gaming console and I am not what you would consider wealthy by any means and I do not feel like flipping the bucks for a new console. Particularly knowing this is probably some common problem that happens with a lot of Wii's and can easily be fixed using a good Wii repair guide. Though I do not have much technical training I am good with my hands and love to tinker with things so this is the route I am choosing to take.
So I searched the web (Yes - there are some sites that are legit and knows what their talking about) for solutions to my issue. After visiting numerous pages and joining different forums, I stumbled to one saying that he repaired his Wii using a simple and easy to follow Wii fix guide. He claims that Wii repair has never been easier since the instructions are orderly and describes different Wii problems.
So I followed the link to the website. The website looked great and made plenty of valid points on it being the best solution for those of us not afraid to do a little dis-assembly. Again, reading the part about free email support just completely sold me. No way was I going to pass up on attempting to fix my own Wii.
So to make a long story short I repaired my Wii that night and was much happier and able to spend the rest of the evening playing my favorite gaming console.
