New Wii Freezes every 30 Seconds

[Myxomatosis]

Anything to do to fix it..... besides exchanging it?

Do the sandpaper trick, that should fix it.

 

[CelticLegend]

google it.

 

[BugsPray]

Take it out of the freezer!

Spoiler

:-(

Someone suggested that to me on some other forums about removing a scratch from my monitor. It ended up just scratching it more. :\ What part of the wii do I sand?

 

[Snapple]

sand the entire thing

 

[Myxomatosis]

The outside or the inside parts? I don't see how doing the casing could fix it, unless it helps with ventilation or something.

That'll teach ya to use a mod chip. Way to brick your machine.

It's actually a freind's Wii, not mine.

Just make sure you've got all of the latest firmware updates, if it persists after that, then fuck it. They're easy to work on, but there's no reason you should have to service a new wii. Mine's been knocked off of a counter with the outer casing completely removed and it didn't affect it.

its overheating, drill some holes into it

Alright, will do. Thanks.

every 30 seconds when doing what?

do you have a scratched CD or something?

only problem I've had is dirty CDs which made the fucker crash.

Yeah but then you'd be sitting there watching blu-ray movies because that's all there is to do with a PS3 right now.

it must be the high peformance hardware overheating,

 

[Myxomatosis]

it must be the high peformance hardware overheating,

so would I need to sandpaper or drill holes (or both) ?

or could I add a fan or something like a computer case?

 

[KnightMare]

blow the dust out
buy a water cooling kit
put it in washing machine.
