My Wii Console Won't Turn On

The Nintendo Wii, which was released in 2006, has drawn a mass market of both hardcore and casual gamers together. While some players appreciate the unique motion controls of the system, others enjoy playing games from longtime Nintendo franchises such as "Super Mario," "Legend of Zelda" and "Metroid." If your Wii will not turn on correctly, you can try some troubleshooting steps to fix the problem.
