In all it's 6 months of life I don't think I have ever turned it off by hand... It seems to over heat everytime I play it, thus killing the power. Sometimes it overheats after just 20 mins of playing, and sometimes it lasts up to a few hours before it turns off, even when it is a freezing cold day.
My wii is on the edge on top of a cabinet and it is 1.5m away from the front door which I leave open as there is always a cool breeze coming through in afternoons, so it should get plenty of ventilation. I keep it out of the stand so both of the vents are open to the cool air coming through our front door.
I was wondering if this was a common problem, or is my wii just not working properly? also how can I tell if the fan is running?
please help, I've called nintendo like 5 times and they didn't really help much
