wii question

**shwalker32** · December 25th, 2007, 03:30 PM

my son has had a wii for about 2 months now and it keeps getting overheated after about 15-30 mins of playing. is this normal or is there something i can buy or do to fix it!

but multiple company's sell auxillary cooling fans for the Wii to tackle this problem specifically.

Example - LINK

Hope this is what you are looking for.

More suggestions listed in no particular order:

Cooling fan #2

Cooling fan built into stand - #3

Illuminated cooling stand - #4

You may also want to keep the wii away from anything warm, e.g. the tv itself if you've got some massive behemoth of a set haha!

no just a regular 20 inch tv. and the wii is at least 2-3 feet away from the t.v i tried laying the wii down horizontally and vertically, it seems to work better horizontally but it still cuts itself off now after 30 mins, i tried cleaning out both fans with a vacuum cleanar it seemed to help some but. was just wondering ifthose products the fans were something that most ppl who have a wii have to have?

I plan on buying a Wii in the coming days, but this "problem" you're having may keep me from doing so. This is the first I've heard of this.

Indian_Dad hasn't had his Wii very long and we haven't seen this problem... yet. Curious to see if others have any similar problems.

We had one over at the in-laws and played it for hours every day over the weekend and never had any problems like this. I would be taking that one back and getting a new one.
