Today 9:36am 10/11 my wii was turning off by itself. I was so mad so I said lets see whats wrong with this wii. I took out all the cords and blow in them to make sure the dust was out. It work then five min. later it turn off.Now whats with my wii or it just jokeing with me? Then I found out what why my wii just kept on dieing on me. Both my fans had alot of dust in it my wii couldn't cool down so it said time for a nap then it turn off. So I blow out the dust and now look it wont turn off how that happen well I mean I can turn it off now without it taking a nap

It could be the power supply that you're using (the outlet you plug the Wii into). Do you have a friend's Wii that you could try? If that one works, then there could be a problem with your Wii.

Or you could save money and wait a while, then not leave it on all the time so that it doesn't overheat. But if that may not work, consider the cooler.

Game stop also sells intercoolers for $10, Try to turn the Wii power supply off entirely after you're done playing, just turn the surge protector or u-plug it, that's what i do to keep it form over heating.....

On a sidenote I have heard numerous people on this site talk about how dissapointed they were with gamestop's intercoolers.They say they are chaseply made, and do not work.I do not have gamestop's tho so i do not have any personal expirences with this device.

yeah, i got an Intec one last year which worked good...
any cooler will help if its a matter of overheating...
otherwise i'd call nintendo, and ask if they can offer help...

if all else fails, send it to get repaired
