Wii Hardware \ Repair

grease_tm says:

My Wii blew up at the end of march so I had it for about 4 months, anyway I called nintendo they said they would look at it and it would probably take a month or longer and that depending on the fault it may not be covered by warranty, I dispatched it with a legal letter and nintendo had a brand new console to me in 2 weeks
God bless the fair trading practices act and the fact that nintendo **** themselves when they hear the word; lawyer

Did you get your Wii points back as well? Or any points for the VC games you bought.

Gee...that must have been some legal letter to get Nintendo shaking.

That's great! I would freak if that happened to me. I will be sure to keep the secret weapon of the word 'lawyer' handy.

I've been lucky (touch wood), i have never had a single problem with Nintendo. Microsoft i've had problems with: original xbox stopped reading games 2 days after i bought it, Target replaced it straight away. Then the usual 360 problem which no doubt everyone will experience at least once.

my wii froze and i took it into their office rather than send it they took it out the back and came back with a new one in five minutes they also transferd my shop account so i didnt lose any points or vc games so i beleive nintendos return policy is great, store returns are shabby because they cant do your wiishop details they just give you a new console
