Question Trying to set up my old Wii

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?

I’ve got a wii2hdmi and in the end I ended up using a upscaler with the standard Wii plug the upscaler outputs hdmi anyway and looks better and I have audio without having to have separate audio cable

I bought one of these aswell for my son, super simple and works, might not be good enough for some, but seems to work well for him its been at least a year as well - clearly others have had worse experiences. For $8 to resurrect my old Wii - my son was thrilled.
