Wii Update

[zbo2408]

So My Wii d/l a firmware update & now it seems like the light on the power button doesn't go green & red like it used to just stays sort of one color... and when its off sometimes the blue light around the disc slot just randomly lights up & flashes & does weird stuff... any ideas?

I just got my Wii connected to the internet and downloaded the update today. I am experiencing exactly the same issue as you describe, so I called the Nintendo support number and spoke with a technician about it, since I couldn't find anything online except for your post. It turns out that the yellow light (on the power button) means that the console is in standby mode, rather than being totally off, as the red light would indicate. According to the technician, the console will remain in standby mode rather than being "off" as long as there's an internet connection present. The disc slot (blue light) stays lit or flickers as that internet connection fluctuates. He assured me that this is normal behavior and that the console is not malfunctioning. Hope that helps you out!

Green light means switched on

Red light means power off (full standby)

Yellow light means connected to Wiiconnect24. All this means is it is still in standby but accepts information automatically from the net. Updates, messages etc are all downloaded without any need for you to be there.

The Blue flashing is the Wii accepting and downloading information. Mine went crazy for the first day or two but it then calms down and hardly ever flashes.

Go to the main settings menu, think Page two!? There you will see a setting called something like Wiiconnect. Within that menu, you can disable Wiiconnect and also either turn the brightness down or off for the flashing blue light.

Also when powering down, hold the Power button on the Wii (not sure if it works on the remote though) and it will power down to an old school standby with no connection to the internet.

Hope this all helps!??

I was going crazy when I noticed that too,but all that happens once you have an internet connection.
