My wii keeps freezing after a few minutes and makes this EEEEEE horn sound or whatever. At first i thought it’s a banner brick but it seems like it’s got smth to do with the wii itself. When i went on priiloader, it froze right after i connected my remote. Need help idk what to do

#

what version is your priiloader?

#

the problem with it breaking could be because of issues with the bluetooth module in the wii but I don't know

#

If the Wii's Bluetooth board didn't work, the Wii wouldn't even power on, so I don't think that's it

I DM‘d her and priiloader worked again but her screen is getting like Pink/Purple every 20 minutes or the wii freezes.

hard loom what version is your priiloader?

My priiloader only froze once. After that it worked. When i‘m on the normal wii menu it just freezes. When i‘m however playing a game it not only freezes, it also gives me that pink static screen that i posted in #support-text

#

I bought a used wii so maybe it‘s just very dusty from the inside. The fan on the back also doesn‘t spin when the wii is on. I‘m going to open it up tomorrow and clean it. If it‘s still not working then i‘ll do some more research. Maybe the fan needs to be replaced and that makes the wii overheat?

#

I knew someone who had this problem before. Something wasn't positioned right inside the console

#

hardware issue

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

Yeah i really believe that would be it. Just something with the console itself. Like i already said, the wii is used maybe the previous owner had that wii for years already. Maybe he has kids who dropped the wii or whatever. Best to just find out myself. But it‘s 80% not something with the hacks that i installed i‘m very sure about that. I did enough research to know that. But ofc there‘s always the chance of smth i have installed like a file that‘s bad for the wii to handle

potent sky I knew someone who had this problem before. Something wasn't positioned right in...

Do you know what that person maybe did?

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

Unfortunatly no

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

Did he solve it?

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

I asked him he said he didnt even know what he did

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

cerulean egret Did he solve it?

yes

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

Then there‘s still a chance

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:40 PM

#

"Something looked wrong so I made it looked right and it was fixed"

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:40 PM

#

From the inside of the wii?

#

Or smth with the files

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:40 PM

#

inside the wii

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:40 PM

#

Oh thank god

#

As long as it‘s smth with inside the wii i‘m happy

#

I have more knowledge about that than with hacks and files and data

#

So then i know it‘s fixable

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:41 PM

#

I mean there always could be something
like my wii just stopped booting into the wii menu

#

but thats just really rare

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:42 PM

#

No i don‘t have that problem

#

The wii itself operates good. Same with all the files

#

I just that i noticed that the fan is very dusty

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:42 PM

#

Yea, I reccomend you just clean it

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:42 PM

#

Same with others ventilated areas. I looked from the outside with a flashlight

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:43 PM

#

Maybe its overheating

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:43 PM

#

A friend also told me that i should clean it. She looked at it too and said that it looks dusty

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:43 PM

#

I bet you thats just it

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:43 PM

#

Yeah cuz the fan isn‘t spinning. Noticed that too

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:43 PM

#

that can happen
mostly on Fire TVs

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:43 PM

#

And she also said that the fan won‘t spin when it‘s too dusty. Youtube videos and google said that too

#

And just think about it. When the fan isn‘t spinning, that means it‘s overheating really fast. And i had the wii turned on for a whole ass day

#

Over that time it surely overheated which caused this

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:44 PM

#

oof

#

that would explain why its malfunctioning so fast

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:44 PM

#

Yeah i didn‘t even play with it. I just left it on while doing other stuff

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

potent sky that would explain why its malfunctioning so fast

Yeah. The wii is old and needs rest

#

But yeah as long it‘s just from the insides then i‘m happy

#

I know a dude who‘s very smart in IT and stuff like that. He‘ll surely open it up for me if i‘m having too much trouble with it

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:46 PM

#

thats good

#

i wish he was there for me before i snapped a ribbon connector inside a ds

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:46 PM

#

But thank you very much you really gave me hope. I got the wii last weekend and got done hacking it like 2 days ago

#

You could imagine how much it frustrated me when suddenly a pink screen appeared when playing mario kart

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:47 PM

#

definetly

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:47 PM

#

This is the pink screen

#

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:47 PM

#

oh yeah probably overheat

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:48 PM

#

I already don‘t have literally zero knowledge when it comes to hacking and homebrewing

#

And then getting this pink jumpscare really made me lactate

#

Pissin and shittin all over the floor

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:48 PM

#

lol

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:48 PM

#

But thank youuuu!!

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:48 PM

#

it may not work after you clean it

#

if that is the case just blow a fan or something to try and cool it down

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:50 PM

#

Wdym blow a fan

#

Like a normal fan?

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:50 PM

#

yea

#

or something to just cool it down

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:50 PM

#

The funny thing is, when i was playing and when it was all fine, i had my normal fan blowing the whole time

#

And once i put it away, then it started glitching and stuff like that

#

Maybe that fan did cool it down the whole time

potent sky Jul 17, 2023, 4:51 PM

#

honestly

#

maybe

cerulean egret Jul 17, 2023, 4:51 PM

#

I hope

#

But even if. I have my NAND backup

#

I know how to delete data if it really comes down to it
