Nintendo repairs are also a skill that is required.

Some people are not even worry about these error things. They think that as long as they have a warranty, any problems can be settled. They can get their Nintendo repaired, but they will have to wait few weeks to get it back. But I think they’ll start panic, when there’s error occurred when there are lost the warranty. The only way to save the console is to pay someone much money to repair it.

To save your money and time, it’s necessary to own a Nintendo repairs skill. Or you can own a Wii repairing guide that filled with step by step how to fix Wii errors. I got some Nintendo Wii repair and troubleshooting guide here, hope it’s useful to you.

Replacing Internal Fan

Sometimes when the fan has become noisy whether its loud humming or clicking sounds, it’ll be very annoying. Or you may need to change the fan because it’s broken or caused by reinstall with a higher powered fan. Follow below steps:

1. Disconnect all power, audio/visual, and sensor bar cables from your Nintendo Wii.
2. Orient yourself to the Nintendo Wii console and the area around the fan on the back of the unit. Remove power cable and two additional screws near the fan.
3. Use a flat-head, screwdriver, fingernails, or a pry tool to separate the power cable from the outlet. Do not pull on the cables to disconnect as you could damage the connectors.
4. Using a Phillips screwdriver to remove both of the screws on either side of your Wii.
5. Slide out the fan to complete the removal of the internal fan on your Wii.
6. With the fan removed, you now can insert the replacement fan into the Nintendo Wii. To install, reverse the process above in order to install and connect the fan to your Nintendo Wii.

Removing The DVD Driver Player

Commonly the removal of the DVD driver player is for install a modchip or the driver is not function anymore. Follow below steps:

1. There are 4 small Phillips screws that anchor the DVD drive into the Nintendo Wii console. Remove all of them.
2. Now with the screws removed, the DVD drive is ready to be removed from the Nintendo Wii. Since there are two cables — a power and data cable that connects the DVD drive to the Wii, you will need to carefully rotate the DVD drive to the right. This will allow you operating room to detach the cables without damaging the Wii.
3. Now start with the data cable (the brown colored one) removal. The cable is connected to data cable by a clip that needs to be released by flipping the plastic clip up. Be careful and apply light pressure and not break the clip or data cable as they are difficult to replace. Slide out the cable from the clip to free it.
4. With the data cable and clip removed, now remove the power plug from the socket by lightly prying on the plug. Do not pull on the wires or you can ruin the cables on plug. Once the power cable is removed, the DVD drive can be removed from the Nintendo Wii.
5. Now you have removed the DVD drive from the Wii, you can apply your chip modification or simply replace it with a new one that you bought.
6. To reinstall it, you need to pay attention on the data cable, it is the most difficult to get back in. Start with it first by placing the drive on the side and slide it in evenly. Then attach the clip.
7. When putting in the recessed screws you need to either use a magnetic screwdriver to not lose the screws or find small tweezers to put through the opening for the DVD player to hold the screws in place if you do not have a magnetic screwdriver.

That’s the Nintendo repairs guide on the hardware. Well now what about on the software (I mean the error codes). Commonly the majority of Wii’s problems are due with error codes rather than hardware problem.

Error Number 32002 and 52030

It could be the problem on your Wii’s router. Try to change the channel from 1 to 11, if that doesn’t work, change the Wii’s security type from WEP to WPA to see if that helps.

Error Number 220602

Another Wii’s router problem, move your Wii until its near to your wireless Internet router. If that doesn’t work, try to swap the primary and secondary DNS server to fix it.

Error Number 51130

Try to pressing the “retry” button to solve this matter. If that doesn’t work, try to repress the “retry” button, it should eventually work.

Error Number 110210, 110211, 110212 and 110213

These error codes are indicating a hardware problem in the Wii. It means that you should take a trip to Nintendo service center.

Nintendo E3 announcement is a must known event for all Nintendo fans. Each event will show you how the improvement or any of the new highlight games spotlight and accessories available. So be sure that you catch out with the latest of Nintendo E3 games spotlight.

I searched Nintendo E3 article on internet and found an article writing about “Nintendo Announces Wii Vitality Sensor, New Mario and Metroid Games”. This article is written by Matt Peckham on his blog; PC World, hope you’ll like it.

Wii Fit Plus

Attempting to snatch the E3 games spotlight back from Microsoft, Nintendo dropped a few head-turners of its own. After a pop-pulsing montage of lifestyle clips strobing from multiple tubes, Nintendo Executive Vice President Cammie Dunaway strode onstage in a stylish white suit to sing about sales data before turning to the show lineup.

The Safe Surprise: New Super Mario Bros Wii

“If there’s an icon for video games, it’s Mario,” said Nintendo. “Mario 3D was great, but we haven’t quite figured out how to move him into the fourth dimension,” said Dunaway, teasing the number four as the key to Mario’s next surprise: New Super Mario Bros, a co-op side-scrolled for up to four players.

The demo looked like Old Super Mario Bros. with a few Super Smash Bros tricks: Grab and carry other players or throw them at enemies. When people lose a life, they come back inside a bubble. The game includes classic warp pipes, hidden areas, and tons of coins to collect. There’s even a new power suit–give it a shake, and you’ll shoot up into sky before slowly drifting down.

The Lifestyle Level-Up: Wii Fit Plus

Next up, Nintendo debuted Wii Fit Plus, an update to the best-selling original with six new strength and yoga activities and the option to queue up exercises in any order. Repeat the ones you find helpful, omit interludes between exercises, target specific body areas for strengthening or toning, keep track of the total calories you’ve burned–they’re clearly emphasizing customizability. New balance games, too, like juggling, skateboarding, and one called “Perfect 10″ where you have to swing your hips in different directions to choose number combinations that add up to 10.

The Retread: Wii Motion Plus

Nintendo American President Reggie Fils-Aime was up next, saying the company’s “primary weapon in all of this is interface.” Weapon? A bit aggressive for Nintendo, but then the company needed to be. Unfortunately what followed was mostly a rehash of everything we already knew about Nintendo’s Wii Motion Plus add-on for the Wii-remote, with a few Wii Sports Resort reveals (swordfighting, basketball, jet skiing, archery) to illustrate the 1-to-1 control scheme Wii Sports Resort launches on July 22nd in the United States.

The Portable Push

What’s even bigger than the Nintendo Wii? The Nintendo DS, and Nintendo devoted plenty of show time talking up handheld (albeit already announced) titles, like an exclusive “special edition” version of Kingdom Hearts, available on September 29th for DS, Zelda: Spirit Tracks, of course, and Mario and Luigi RPG: Bowser’s Inside Story.

On other tidbits about handheld announcement, probably that Facebook for Nintendo DSi, allowing you to upload photos snapped with the DSi itself. We’ll probably remember this E3 as the year social networking (the good and somewhat-less-good bits) invaded your living room.

The Philosophy Lecture

Nintendo, said Iwata, divides the total population into three groups

1. Active gamers,
2. Those who say they’ll never play games
3. Those who say they might play some day.

Where’s Nintendo focused? On the number three, “For every two people now playing, there’s one more waiting to jump in,” said Iwata, adding that the company wants to create individual games that can satisfy every kind of game player, while recognizing that the audience is more diverse than ever.

The Quirky Sneak Peek: Wii Vitality Sensor

According to Iwata, it’s much more than a heartbeat gauge; it’s a multi-physiological feedback tool. How nervous are you? How focused on the task at hand? And so on. “These things are normally invisible,” he said, implying we’ll eventually see games that interact with us at the biological level. Still, we’re talking high concept at this point, zero demonstrated application, which makes me wonder why we saw it at all.

The One You’ve Been Waiting For: Super Mario Galaxy 2

We finally got a glimpse of a new “hardcore” Mario game, and it already looks like Mario Galaxy meets Mario 64. Think 64′s more continuous (if delightfully surreal) realms intermixed with Galaxy’s smaller, globe-like planetoids. The video displayed Mario running through garden levels, donning a bee suit, skidding across frozen lakes and dashing through snowy settings. The upside, it’s a full-blown Mario game. The downside? It looks an awful lot like Mario’s Greatest Hits.

And that’s it for Nintendo. Not quite as thrilling as Microsoft’s show, but an impressively diverse lineup nonetheless.
