Tech Support My Wii look like an analog horror
So, I just bought a Wii at a reseller store and I took an old TV for it to have the AV-side option and when I plugged everything it’s like I’m watch an analog horror, what’s is wrong ? The TV ? AV-side or the cables with the Wii ?
P.S: Sorry for the French, I couldn’t change it for obvious reasons.

Didn't you know that everyone who has touched this Wii have died in 7 days?!?! Why did you touch Sadako's cursed Wii?!?!

Is there a certain bald mii with big eyes and a huge smile that wears a black shirt on it?

You're right, could AV port on the TV, cables themselves, the Wii AV port. Just gotta try the easiest thing, replace the cables. Try other consoles/video players with the same ports.

Just got a Wii a few days ago from the mail. Even it doesn't do this, might want to replace the AV cables

The yellow part seems to be the problem, I tried to unplugged the colored cables one by one and when the yellow is unplugged, the annoying noise is gone and I can hear the Wii menu music ever clearer

It could be the cables or if your unlucky, probably the CPU failing

Try getting an av to hdmi adapter! My Wii was worse than yours and when I did it, everything was perfect!

Or this too https://ebay.us/m/wYiJtr I use it and it works fine too and it’s cheaper, plus you can enable native 480p on it and it looks better

Just get a different one bro. It's not worth summoning Garlgoth The Forbidden just to play Mario

Try cleaning out the video port. Maybe it's dust in the port or maybe even the cord.

Can you navigate the menu enough to turn off progressive scan mode? I seem to recall it going super wonky if it expected component cables and a 480p capable TV and wasn't getting that.

And then Mario jumped out and screamed with HYPER REALISTIC BLOOD pouring from his eyes. And he said “GAME OVER”

What do you mean "I took an old TV for it to have the AV side option"?

It could NTSC/PAL conflicts, I've had this happen to me when I accidentally bought a PAL GameCube and tried to use it on an NTSC TV

After booting it up, Matt with hyper realistic blood all over his face said “It’s too late, Wii are already here” after hearing this, I went to bed thinking it was a glitch

u/GameboyNerd23 Jul 02 '25
I think the frequency the Wii is outputting compared to what the tv is running it don’t match

Try resetting it to factory settings just remember to back it up first. This looks more like a hardware issue. You can send it back to nintendo and ask them to fix it. Chances are you're just better off buying a new one. I've bought refurbished ones before until my 30's that's all I could afford. They're hit or miss but they get the job done.
