I Bought a Wii U... and Goodwill sent THIS? 😮

This might be the craziest find yet in The Hampton Haul. What do you think?

Getting that GC game in a used Wii that nobody wanted is wild!

It boggles my mind that people don't factory reset and wipe their hard drives before selling electronics. If you ever bought one of my old consoles, not only would there not be a game in the drive but it's memory would be blank.

Imagine someone has a bookshelf of physical discs and they decide to open all the cases to make sure all the discs are in a good shape, and the only one that's missing is being reviewed by a YouTuber saying that the console with the disc you were looking for is roasting is roasting it.

only reason why I clicked on your video, because you shown the heading, that a message for you to give it back. Where is this in your video?

I've seen both the blacked out screen and washed out white screen a few times and there's a couple of repairs you can try. Since you've covered the cable and settings you're going to have to look inside at the AV board area. It might be a capacitor for either issue. So if you see one bloated with it's guts leaking out then that's obvious. But it could also be the chip itself that fried. One other thing to try first is to clean the av socket really good with iso alcohol and blow the wii out really well. You'll be amazed what a stray pet hair or build up will cause to happen. Hopefully the cleaning works and it's not more invasive. If it's the chip then you're better off just Frankensteining a wii out of the one with data and possibly another with other issues and putting a whole one together while the other becomes spare parts.

i think the problem with the wii is with capacitors, because its black and dark, MattKC had a similiar problem when he bought a 1$ wii from Japan after that it look normal, so you can try replacing them!

I really enjoy these types of videos from you so much. It always interesting seeing an old wii from the previous owner and what they did on it. Its so cool to watch and looking at stuff with you from back in the day. I hope you keep it up with this type of content. There also really unique as well compared to others on youtube.

both of those wiis have capacitor problems. Notice how it was normal at the beginning and it got worse after time. That's because capacitors charge over time, and that explains the problem perfectly. I hope I helped you! MattKC has a video with a 1$ Wii that had the same type of problem.

I must say i do miss you fixing or opening like one of the consoles but can't wait for the EP when you open them all up! Loving seeing whats on all these consoles

Person who left that GameCube game in the Wii: 👁️👄👁️

One reason to Format your Hard Drives before Donating them or Selling them. So people Can't Use your Old Profiles. Better Yet, Just Keep Your Consoles, Zero Reasons to Sell or Donate them.

8:08 that looks like a capacitor issue, one of the video output capacitors is likely failing and you would have to fix it.

"Johnson --- must have been his last name" How innocent :face-green-smiling:

I love these videos man. Good job getting that gem of a find. Keep it up!

Love this channel!! It’s like a Storage War gameshow but about stuff I care about! Also love the almost archeology-like aspect of going through old accounts! Makes me want to give you mine to analyze randomly! Great idea!! I watched a lot of these so I’m not sure this is the episode someone played Wii for 25 hours in early November, but I bet that was daylight savings time! Great show, great content! Thanks!

I had to test Wii systems at my job and found Gale of Darkness, too. I think that's the highest priced game I've found in a console at work.

2 things. 1 I didnt know that game went for so much. I believe I still have mine, and the case for it too! 2nd, that was one of my favorite pokemon games growing up. So many memories, and getting pissy when I couldn't catch pokemans to transform em back.

You getting Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness from that Wii is what I am trying so hard to accomplish when I buy loose Wii consoles like this.

The Wii with the dark weird screen should be a capacitor issue- MattKC made a video about a Wii with a similar issue
