Hello! How do I get Italian language as a setting on the Wii? I only get: English, Spanish, and French.

Hi Sam (Yes, good name)
I’m pretty sure the Wii is working fine ;-)
I see the black screens if I return from some of the ‘applications’ but not always, as if it needs to decompress the data if it was overwritten (in a cache). I also seen black screens when I start a game on DVD, that it takes a long time before it really starts up.
Guess I should test with some other Wii at a friends place at some stage.
Anyway, everything is working, and a few seconds of waiting can be accepted.

sorry to say, but your wii may be a bit faulty!
first ejecting. That happens on every console. try it on the ds. it freezes because it has no information to play, and cant find it. so…sorry thats just what happens. I also dont see why you have trouble with the black screen, because lots of wii signs go across the screen then fade. this is easily reconizable.
sorry!

Hi Mary,

There are several ways to turn the Wii off. You can press and hold the small button on top of the Wiimote, that can used to turn it on/off.

There is also a button on front of the Wii, that would be the top one with a small light in. Here it actually says ‘Power’.

In case you want to switch it 100% off (the above suggestions just sets it in stand by more) then just turn the power fully off after entering standby mode.

I never had any issues with it.

Best,

Sam

Hi!

Thank you so much for posting this. I live in Japan where I just bought my Wii. Of course the manual is in Japanese but even the English one I downloaded didn’t answer my question which is embarressingly basic.

What steps should I follow to turn off my Wii?

I don’t want to damage anything by doing something in the wrong order. That actually happened to me once with a karaoke mike with built-in slot for song cartridges.

Thank you for your help!
