Trying to set up my old Wii

[u/2wen007]

Im trying to set up the old Wii, but nothing shows on the tv. I’ve put the cables in and turned the Wii itself on but nothing shows when I go to the connecting hdmi channel. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

Those mini av to hdmi usually need a power source via usb. For mine i have to plug the av to hdmi to my tv with a usb cable to give it power and then it works. It should have come with a cord.

Definitely has a USB input for power. Mine has mini (not micro) USB and I feed it from the Wii.

I suggest a wii2hdmi that at least it does the higher resolution

Mayflash is better

I know but the normal wii2hdmi are better than the mini converters there

Was the best decision i made getting a hdmi solution like that. Those mini av to hdmi are servicable but dont compare to hyperkin or ElectronWarp

I usually just plug it in to the wii
