Wii Hardware \ Wii won't display (HELP!)

One night the Wii was working fine, playing Zelda, all cool.
The next morning, went to turn it on .. it turned on and the normal Wii welcome thing came on. Then went to play Zelda and it turned off.

Now, I can't seem to get the Wii to work at all. The unit turns on and my TV doesn't say "no signal" .. so the TV does pick up something.

Except all I see on the TV is a black screen.

I've tried

1) 3 tv's ... and they all show black
2) Doing the usual troubleshooting, turning the unit off, leaving for 5 mins, turning it on with the remote etc (found this on www.wiierror.com)
3) Ensuring that it's not brushed up against a wall, the unit isn't hot or overheating. (That I can tell)

Anything else I can try before I send this puppy back?
Any help would be much appreciated!

You can try to unplugging everything and then plug it in again.

James I highly consider, and i'm not being rude here, don't post here, and ring Nintendo straight away! Tell them of your problems and they'll send you a new one as you then send your defected one in. By all that you've written, it's sounding like a defection problem, a common one I read about in the states!

Ring the Big N = )

Yeah I guess I'll have to. I just wanted to post on there first incase someone had a similar problem and managed to fix it.

I'll have to ring Nintendo first thing Monday.

the only suggestion i would make is to disconnect all leads from the unit itself... I once had a new PC from HP and even tho i was turning the power off at the outlet it wouldnt start up unless i unplugged everything? Strange but true.
