I get a Black Screen and it won't startup... anyone else have this problem?

Call Nintendo and see if they can replace it for you. If you want to troubleshoot it yourself, check the power connection & the connections to the TV.

Make sure the TV is turned on :P (trying to put a smile on your face)

Once my Wii didn't work....it was because the maid (Ayi in Chinese) cleaning my apartment unplugged it. I didn't pay much attention when it was installed so I plugged it back in and turned it on and SNAP CRACKLE POP --got a little light show with the sound effects and a burning smell. Turns out I plugged it directly into the wall instead of the 220V-120V converter. I got a new power supply and the problem was solved.

What on earth could you find funny about a man with a broken Wii?

I hope I'm not too late. I had this twice. Both times the power button light didn't glow either. In the instruction manual it says to unplug wait for 2 minutes and plug it back in. It worked for me.

Hope this will help.

Back when I was working in the ER, I once had to call in for an authorization to an insurance company for a 24 hour observational stay, the complaint was for a fractured wii.

It took me 15 minutes to convince them I was serious.
