Let me first tell you my story. Nothing ruins my Friday night more than a broken Wii console. I know some people like to go to a club to enjoy a drink, I do too every now and then. But when you just came from a hell-week with a tyrannical boss and mountains of paperwork, sometimes you just want to end the week at home playing with your beloved metal companion... the Nintendo Wii!
So here is what I did. I had the whole evening to play and enjoy myself, all night if I felt like it. But I needed to find a fast solution. It was not working and I had remembered coming across something about DIY Wii repair online in the past.
Needless to say, shipping the console to a repair shop wouldn't do the trick. That would take days before I can have my unit back. Not to mention, if the repair shop currently has numerous Wii consoles that need fixing too, getting my unit back will obviously take longer. On top of that, I have some, let us just say, unfortunate situations sending my Wii to be repaired.
The most memorable one is that it arrive working but has numerous scratches. Now I can't simply blame anyone as this could have happened at the repair shop or at transit or shipping. I'm a little OCD so I just gave away that unit.
So bottom line this is my second Wii console and I want to keep it scratch free and blemish free as much as possible and I really do not feel like going out and flipping the bills for a new one. I may work at a bank but I am far from rich!
So I decided to follow my memory of seeing something on DIY Wii repair or a Wii fix it guide and did what I always do and Googled it. I found a few possible solutions to my dilemma. After doing about an hour of research and reading reviews and following links I came across a friend on a gaming forum that gave me his story about using The Wii Fix Guide to repair his Wii. He claimed that it only took a short time to follow the guide to troubleshoot his problems and then repair his Wii. To top it off there was free email support. Something that appears to be lacking in all other products or guides.
Well, after visiting the website I was able to erase any doubts that were left. The site was professional and answered most of my questions and also confirmed the question on email support. Email support is offered at no extra cost. This guy will even tell you if your Wii is too far gone and then refund the book if you find no value. Great guy!
To finish my story I followed the Wii Fix Guide and I was up and playing my Wii that same night. Yay!
