yeah this happening to everyone who got a first batch machine almost. It's a problem with a faulty batch of graphics cards.. Nintendo have admitted the problem if you contact there offices they should help you out. You will have to write a letter stating the problem and send them your wii, at your expense then they will more than likely just replace it but you will get credit for whatever downloads you had. Before you do send it away i recommend writing down all your saved wii numbers and whatever mii characters you want to your controllers as all this will be lost. So far they are saying it's a 10 working day turn around. We can only hope both my flat mate and I have to send off our wii's but there are to many good games out just now so it will have to wait till after scarface.

Actually, it's not a big deal, you just have to live without your Wii for a while. Start by going to this link:

Wii Repair Options

Select your country at the bottom of the page, and fill out the form. Nintendo will send you a pre-paid UPS shipping label for free (if you're under warranty). You just provide your own box and packing materials.

Nintendo will move your data to the new Wii, but there may be some loss, so make a note of everyone in your address book before you send your Wii. Your new Wii will have a different number, and you'll need to send that to all your friends.

I'm not really sure how long it takes to get a new Wii sent back to you, but I've heard it's about two weeks.

My guess is that the issue (from May of this year) has been resolved through an easy enough call to Nintendo.

But cool looking out dude.
