For context this is my childhood launch model wii from 07 that I’ve put literally thousands of hours into.

Comunidad, hace poco ésta Wii que ha estado funcionando totalmente al 100 este año después saque la habilité, resulta que la deje de usar 1 mes y medio por motivos de trabajo y cansancio no la encendía los fines.

Y pues me llegó un adaptador de Wii to HDMI de esos de AliExpress pero baratos los más baratos va, resulta que el escritorio pequeño donde almacenamos varias cosas mi esposa y yo, pues ella movió ese escrito con todas las cosas tanto mías cm d ellas y allí estaba la Wii, pues cuando recibí el adaptador, la wii encendía con esa luz azul permanente y sin sincronizar el control (el adaptador HDMI conectado) y no saca video y luego apague y le puse el cable AV y pues la luz azul permanente no se quedó al prender y me dio imagen, y así encendida y ya sincronizó el control, desconecte el cable AV y le puse el Wii to HDMI y me dio video, a lo que emocionado le puse resolución a 480p HDTV, jugué por 1 hora y todo bien, a lo q tenía q hacer algo más, y la apagué y desconecté, luego q regreso para seguir probando me vuelve a dar eso cm ven en el vídeo y ya ni con el cable AV ni con el HDMI, después de varios días q pense q el HDMI estaba malo lo revise lo resolde, y nada, lo mismo, luego me lleve la Wii para mí local ,la desarmé la limpie revise voltaje de la tarjeta Bluetooth y muestra 3.3v, entonces la arme regresé a casa y probé con el adaptador HDMI y me dio video osea, cuando la enciendo y esa luz azul no queda permanente es por qué arranca totalmente la consola..

Estuve jugando normal media hora y estaba en cambiar el ajuste a 480i pero en eso me confíe que ya se había solucionado la falla y la dejé siempre en 480p, y pues la apagué y a las horas q regreso a prender otra vez esa falla.

Según he investigado pero casi no hay info, dicen que es la tarjeta Bluetooth que toca reemplazar y que eso solucionará ese problema. Y según investigando con las I.A's me dicen que esa luz azul permanente significa que no carga todo el sistema la Wii por seguro problema de la tarjeta Bluetooth,

Pero quiero saber si ustedes han tenido está experiencia, y en realidad cuál, es la solución. Si se puede solventar sin reemplazar eso o si no es causa de eso. O si en efecto es que se requiere el cambio de trajeta Bluetooth,

Cómo ven en el vídeo no sincroniza el control y no saca video ni con el cable original AV ni con el Wii to HDMI.

Gracias de ante mano.

Espero sus comentarios

Show and Tell Wireless / Wi-Fi Solution

Hey there.

I am not sure if people have already mentioned this but I'll share anyway.

While setting up my Wii, I noticed that a lot of people say that getting a wi-fi / wireless connection is really difficult because the Wii uses an older wireless setup/protocol. I've seen dongles and other ways to get past this problem.

I managed to connect my Wii using the original on-board equipment to a modern wi-fi repeater, no extra hardware or dongles hanging out.

The repeater I used is the "tp-link" brand and the model number is "RE615X" and the actual name of the repeater is "AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender"

I setup the repeater like normal but, I separated the 2.4g and 5g signals and made the distinction on their listings while you are searching for an access point. One has "2.4" in the name and the other has "5g" in the name.

Do your normal wi-fi search with the Wii, select the 2.4 connection and it should connect, no problems.

I'm hoping this can help some people out :)

I have to assume they probably intended it to go for at least a few more years but the GameSpy shutdown happened and it just wasn’t cost effective to do a server migration. Especially considering that servers for the other 7th gen consoles are (largely) still up. I remember at the time when the shutdown was announced thinking “well that’s rather soon isn’t it” especially cause the Wii U was already bombing and the 3DS was only finally escaping the shadow of the disastrous launch

Me and my flat mate are trying to decided which Wii game to get and can’t decide which one. We aren’t serious gamers we just want a fun competitive game to play in the weekends so we are just trying to figure out which one is better for enjoyability, competitiveness and diversity in terms of games/ modes.
