Anyone with a Wii had a problem with it overheating? We were playing on my Wii this weekend for a couple of hours, when it just locked up when I inserted a game (Mario Kart). It said something about the disc being dirty or something like that. I couldn't switch it off or reset it, so I switched it off from the wall socket. When I switched the power on again, it wouldn't go on. Normally when there's power to the console, there's a little red light on the power button, which turns green when you press the power button. But it didn't even show this red light. I unplugged everything and plugged it in again, but nothing changed. Waited a couple of minutes and tried again, still nothing.
So I decided to just take it in for repairs this week (bought it secondhand, no receipt). Just before going to bed, I decided to give it another go, switched on the power and it switched on as if nothing happened. Tried playing a game and it worked without any problems. Also spent a couple of hours yesterday again playing without problems.
Anyone else had something like this with their Wii or know what caused it?
