ferrarif5 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Hey, Thought I just share this just incase anyone has to return their Wii due to issues... Had my Wii since launch and after a two weeks of playing I was getting glitches when fog was produced ingame.. i.e. Zelda in Faron Woods or Rayman, it then started to get worst and the Wii UI was starting to glitch as well. Contacted Codestorm and they stated that I will have to return the Wii, which is fine with me except that I would have to pay for it to be sent to them.. around £20 So I told them it's under warranty but they wasn't interested so I took it back to gamestation. Since my console had virtual consoles games (5 player bomberman rocks by the way!) I would have to send it back with my own money:mad: So I obtain their customer support number and then contacted Trading Standards.. Trading standards said since Gamestation sold me the unit they have to send it back to Codestorm and if they failed to comply I can just get back in contact with them So contacted Gamestation customer support to which they told me I have to send it back myself:blank: That was until I mentioned I contacted trading standards then he totally changed and said "yeah yeah you should be able to give it back to your local Gamestation and they will send it back to codestorm totally free:indeed: Thought I would just post this on here just incase anyone needs to send their Wii back since you've got Virtual Console games on it... should save you a week's worth of work!!
david.dakota Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Its amazing how companies change their attitudes when you mention trading standards.
Pyxis Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Thats lazy. At Gameplay, we booked free parcelfarce collections for anybody with a faulty console.
solitanze Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Only have one console and haven't had to return it.
Mr_Master_X2 Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Please explain these glitches, as I may be getting them, too. Please.
Zyneth Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 My Wii wouldn't even read games, and I'd get a black screen when trying to start channels. I contacted Nintendo and sent it to them. I had to pay the mailing costs. The replacement arrived after about a week or so.
ferrarif5 Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 Please explain these glitches, as I may be getting them, too. Please. Hey, here is a link to a photo I took of the glitch (add http: // to front of address) mike.symclan.co.uk/misc/images/Wii/rayman_goof.jpg was doing it with both cables (SCART RGB and Composite).
Mr_Master_X2 Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I can't actually work out what that screenshot is to represent... The problem I have is with red/green lines/bars in the background. Putting any filters on seems to change them to white instead and can cause rippling. Other people have the problem, though so...
