Wii Problem

coldpaw

When i put a game into my wii it makes this really strong buzzing/whirrign sound for entire time game is in. does not make noise when no game in and the game plays fine. Any idea what problem might be and how i could solve it short it?

any help would be savage

The Wii drive is rather loud on its own, especially when seeking(not sure if thats the right word).

Could you record the sound it makes and upload it?

Mine was doing the exact same thing so I sent it off to Nintendo to be fixed. (It was also starting to artifact on screen really badly)

It came back and it wasn't making the noise. However, I moved it back where it had been originally and it was making the noise again. Turns out it was doing that because of what it was placed on. A digibox.

I moved it off and it stopped making the noise :eek: Ah well, at least they fixed the artifacting!

So was it the Digibox making the noise or what!?!

The vibrations from the wii drive spinning can cause things nearby to make noise, panelling, digibox covers etc. Put your hand on your wii while its running and see if the noise stops, if it does then its just vibrations, if its still noisy "Welcome to bricktown population: your wii."
