#Wii u no signal on tv upgrade

Mine is glitchy, my previous one was glitchy, my friends is glitchy(and he manages a video game store, so he could swap it out for a new one whenever he wanted. Yea, i'm willing to bet this is a GPU failure issue. Or is it time to just accept that the Wii is dying? posted by roll truck roll to Technology (4 answers total)

But I obviously don't want to buy a new Wii and have the same problem.

#Wii u no signal on tv upgrade

Or is it time to just accept that the Wii is dying? How certain can I be that it's not a problem with the TV? I really don't want to upgrade to Wii U, as like 80% of my games are Gamecube games and Wii U isn't compatible with Gamecube. I'm using this low-end LCD TV.Īny solutions I haven't thought of? Would a Wii-to-HDMI converter do any good? Reviews of them online seem pretty mixed. I assumed that the cable was shot and ordered another one, but there was no change in behavior at all. This problem appeared after I'd been using a cable for a couple years. I'm using a generic component cable, as the Nintendo-licensed ones are kind of expensive. But the problem just started out of nowhere, after some time with no issue. Often, when it cuts out is when that white menu screen first comes on, or when I go from a game back to the menu. That would seem to be consistent with what I've been experiencing. Usually it comes back on for a second when I push a button, and then goes out again.Īccording to people in this thread, some TVs have difficulty recognizing very light signals. I know that the Wii is still functioning when that happens, because I can still move the Wiimote around and feel the rumble feedback. Just in the past month or so, it's started to have a bad problem with the picture just cutting out.
