Has anyone had their Wii freeze up? I was playing a game on Sunday and the game froze and i was unable to do anything. I could not even press reset or turn the Wii off by the console or Wiimote. The console still does not load up a game or register a Wiimote. I checked my other Wii console on my TV and everything worked fine! Nintendo Australia told me i gotta send the machine and cords to them to have a suss...

Yeah did that a few times, seemingly tried all i could but nothing seemed to work. Hopefully Nintendo can fix without losing saved game data.

ive never had mine freeze... it shouldnt do that unless it has some real major problem... which in that case u shud talk to nintendo or the store u brought it from so u can get a replacement or get it fixed.... if still under warantee.

Unless if the game is faulty then thats another prob..

Mono was referring to a modchip being installed. Im taking your answer as you dont have one in there. Mine has the odd jam up (running a wiikey!!). But normally removing the power cable and plugging it back in works.. This tends to only happen on Backup games but it so infrequent and rare that it doesn't concern me.

Yeah, no modchip.
