Topic: My First Wii Repair

Hey guys, today marks a sad day. Today was the day that required I send my Wii, the one I got from launch, into Nintendo for some repairs. I'm not sure of the specifics but I know that when the discs were put in the system they clicked for a few seconds and then stopped. The Wii just didn't read the disc. Well since this is my first time sending in a broken Nintendo product, I was hoping someone could just fill me in on the the average wait and the quality of the work done on the systems.
Thanks

That's bad, hopefully you'll get it back soon. Sorry I don't know a lot about it since I've never had to send something to Nintendo.

I had to send in my Wii three different times in a month. First it stopped reading dual layered discs.
Upon it's return the fan wasn't working so had to send it right back. Then I got that damn graphic Artifacting problem and they finally had to transfer all my VC games to a new system. Broke my heart to have to replace my launch wii but after 3 repair jobs in a month they were tired of messing with it. I haven't had a problem since thankfully.
It usually takes 7 to 10 days to get it repaired and back to your door depending on where you live.
Hope you have some other systems to play while you wait.

@Link79: Did you have to pay the repair fee 3 times, or did you get a warranty after the first repair that covered the next two?

I sent mine in a few days ago too

Nah It was free since the first problem I had was the deal with it not reading dual layered discs.
I guess if that's what's going wrong Nintendo takes the blame and fixes it free.
They figure it's a design flaw and will fix it at no charge. The other two repairs were free also since you get a new one year warranty after every repair. So that worked out well. It was a pain in the ass but I finally have a fully functioning Wii and haven't had an issue since.

I think you mean: "Wiipair." ...Ha. haha... ha...?
