Nintendo Replacement Wii Console, White - No Cables Or Accessories (Renewed)

I can not say enough good things about the seller Base Electronics LLC! I am recovering from a complicated surgery and was using WiiFit to record my weight, and the low-impact exercises for my medical team. It has been cost effective and crucial to my recovery. Then my Wii died! :OI bought an Amazon Renewed Wii thru Base Electronics LLC and I was extremely happy I could continue my existing regiment. I use it every day for multiple hours and usually just leave it on. 9 months went by and the video and audio started cutting in and out on the refurb (This was the problem on my original). Needless to say I was frustrated.Being in IT for close to 40 years, and building Test Equipment for Aerospace for several years afforded me the ability to troubleshoot at the component level in the past, but age has caught up with me; my soldering skills have waned due to vision, and my current health prevents me from spending a lot of time sitting, or bending, so I spent a lot of time on YouTube and Web searching possible causes to the issue. Bad capacitors in the audio / video circuit kept coming up as the cause of audio / video cutting out (HINT: Assumptions do not help!).I bought another Amazon Renewed Wii from Base Electronics LLC and decided to write them to let them know what I was experiencing. I really just wanted to repair my existing Wiis so I could keep my history, but they apparently do not go as deep as some of us old geeks. ;)They went out of their way to make it right though, which is the result of this review, since this level of customer support is non-existent in todays culture? They offered to replace the refurb Wii, even though it was WAY past the 90 day warranty. I am not very mobile, but I was troubleshooting as I could, and they were so patient and providing feedback at every step. They were willing to replace it from the get-go, but I wanted my history on the device, so I kept looking at it as I could...Fast forward a couple weeks, after trying different adapters, suspecting my TV going bad, and then finally hooking up a power monitoring solution because I saw the power supply having inconsistent voltages, but then being perfectly normal when I connected it to a load tester. The culprit was unusual and the solution was easy: My power company made changes at our sub-station that was causing major fluctuations that does not effect most appliances (We have always had brown-outs and dirty power, but it is a lot worse now.), but computer equipment just fails from time-to-time. I purchased a UPS, and guess what... the Wii PSU is behaving much more consistent, and no more audio / video cut-outs.I should be compensated by the power company, but alas, contracts are contracts. :(Anyway, that is my long, very odd story, but I am thankful Base Electronics LLC afforded me the time and was patient with me. Definitely give them your business! This level of customer service is so very rare anymore!!!

the wii worked well i bought it last year to play guitar hero and it still works

Looks brand new and works great. Very happy with console.

I had to give it a system update when I got it, which was tedious, but it worked after. unfortunately mine was stolen so I didn't get to enjoy it very long, but id definitely recommend getting a used wii from Amazon over vintage stock or game stop, none of my systems have worked from them

unacceptable, everything about the wii was perfect setting it up, but i noticed as soon as i opened it that the game reader foam protection on the inside was taken off or damaged, and i knew after trying to insert a disc it wouldn’t work, and i was RIGHT!!!!! soo annoying i have to go through this process of waiting again and buying another one because i got a wii that’s defective immediately!!

After our OG Wii broke, I was skeptical that this refurbished one was the real-deal but took the risk. It is the real deal!

Great

Worked erfectly right from the start
