Nintendo Replacement Wii Console, White - No Cables Or Accessories (Renewed)

I can not say enough good things about the seller Base Electronics LLC! I am recovering from a complicated surgery and was using WiiFit to record my weight, and the low-impact exercises for my medical team. It has been cost effective and crucial to my recovery. Then my Wii died! :OI bought an Amazon Renewed Wii thru Base Electronics LLC and I was extremely happy I could continue my existing regiment. I use it every day for multiple hours and usually just leave it on. 9 months went by and the video and audio started cutting in and out on the refurb (This was the problem on my original). Needless to say I was frustrated.Being in IT for close to 40 years, and building Test Equipment for Aerospace for several years afforded me the ability to troubleshoot at the component level in the past, but age has caught up with me; my soldering skills have waned due to vision, and my current health prevents me from spending a lot of time sitting, or bending, so I spent a lot of time on YouTube and Web searching possible causes to the issue. Bad capacitors in the audio / video circuit kept coming up as the cause of audio / video cutting out (HINT: Assumptions do not help!).I bought another Amazon Renewed Wii from Base Electronics LLC and decided to write them to let them know what I was experiencing. I really just wanted to repair my existing Wiis so I could keep my history, but they apparently do not go as deep as some of us old geeks. ;)They went out of their way to make it right though, which is the result of this review, since this level of customer support is non-existent in todays culture? They offered to replace the refurb Wii, even though it was WAY past the 90 day warranty. I am not very mobile, but I was troubleshooting as I could, and they were so patient and providing feedback at every step. They were willing to replace it from the get-go, but I wanted my history on the device, so I kept looking at it as I could...Fast forward a couple weeks, after trying different adapters, suspecting my TV going bad, and then finally hooking up a power monitoring solution because I saw the power supply having inconsistent voltages, but then being perfectly normal when I connected it to a load tester. The culprit was unusual and the solution was easy: My power company made changes at our sub-station that was causing major fluctuations that does not effect most appliances (We have always had brown-outs and dirty power, but it is a lot worse now.), but computer equipment just fails from time-to-time. I purchased a UPS, and guess what... the Wii PSU is behaving much more consistent, and no more audio / video cut-outs.I should be compensated by the power company, but alas, contracts are contracts. :(Anyway, that is my long, very odd story, but I am thankful Base Electronics LLC afforded me the time and was patient with me. Definitely give them your business! This level of customer service is so very rare anymore!!!

Worked erfectly right from the start

Works great!

The Console is working fine however it is a little loud as it is playing a game CD & occasionally gets "frozen" when playing a game and it has to be unplugged to be reset, none of the buttons work when it is "frozen". As I was plugging in my cords I found there was a large amount of what I think may be cat hair stuck under one of the white covers where you can plug in other cords. I did find it funny that my console was named "fart" but I'm not sure if that was from the original owner or whoever refurbished it. Overall I am happy with my purchase & the seller got it to me very quickly.

OKay so it was delivered on time, and packed properly. I was happy. Well 2 months later, I am finally able to open and use the wii console. It does not work, no power. I changed and tried a second power cable still not power. I am not in the USA so shipping it back would be more than the total cost of the device. I am returning to the USA at the end of September, and hope that they will grant me the chance to return it then and send me a working one. This time I will test it before i leave back to the Caribbean.

Look, you know what a Nintendo Wii is at this point. I had trolled auction sites to replace my old one with a broken disk drive but was nervous about return policies etc. I bought this one from Amazon because of the return policy. I ordered from rock_30_games if that matters (I have no idea how the renewed process works).Regardless, it is perfect. Some minor scratches but I had to be looking for them to notice. The CDs now load nice and smooth like they are supposed to. None of the doors covering the game cube ports were loose (often an issue) and it really felt like a brand new console. It obviously had been cleaned and prepared by someone who knew what they were doing. If I need another replacement in 12 more years, I will buy this one again.It came wrapped in plastic, well packaged in bubble wrap. A small custom made paper insert showing you how to sync your wiimotes was included. That is likely a common reason for return, customer hasn't synced their wiimotes in a decade and forgot they had to. The fact that they had a custom printed little card taped to it indicates that whoever is refurbishing these things does it a lot and knows what they are doing. Half of me wants to buy another one and stick it in a drawer in case I need another one a decade from now.

Don’t let the price shake you up, I’ve Had Tbis For A Month Now And It Is VERRY GOOD, It turns om faster than my ps5 which is awesome, it is very quiet and takes up really no space and power, ( Fun If You Have Kids ) if you want to dive back into nostalgia look no further.
