So, I wanted to try out Wii Punch Out which I borrowed from a friend of mine, when I noticed that the Wii wouldn't turn on. No light, nothing.
So I unplugged it and left it that way for a few. Still nothing. Put a tester on the power supply, nothing. DOH
The internet says there is a 3amp fuse to replace. Not on mine (not visible anyway). So my friend and I open it up. Again, nothing that looks like a fuse. There was one device that seemed like it might be a resettable fuse, but no reset button.
I decided to just forget about it and go ahead and order a new one. We put it back together and plugged it in one more time to double check it. Presto it worked!
In thinking about it, when we took it apart, we had to slam it down on the bench pretty hard to get it out of the case. So, I'm thinking that the 'resettable' fuse got reset when I did that.
