Japan: Junk (Still works)
Other countries: Slightly used (missing internals) -
Apparently when something is marked as "junk" in Japan it more accurately translates to "untested" rather than "garbage" or "rubbish" as we would normally assume.
-
In Japan, when something is labeled as junk, that typically means it just wasn't tested.
-
The real win here is the 3M views for a $1 investment. Gratz!
-
A $1 wii console is like the start of a creepypasta from 2010
-
"I reset it to factory defaults..."
YOU WHAT?
"... not before making a backup"
Oh thank god. -
I love that it has a fully functional GameCube integrated into it. It's probably the last time Nintendo made such a grand gesture towards their customer base.
-
This video is the epitome of "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
-
From my perspective, this is a magic man burning a green plank to make a light brighter.

I got a Wii at launch, and a few days in, broke the sensor bar.
A little research showed that the 'sensor' bar was just a series of infrared lights, and the actual sensor is in the Wiimote.
So, we used candles. One on each side of the television. It worked MUCH better than the sensor bar ever did (as a candle gives off a LOT more infrared light than the bar).
Also, it gave the Wii a kind of, ritualized, holy status. To play involved a ritual of lighting candles. Magic. -
ya'know, this is usually how creepypastas start, right? "So, I bought a Wii labeled 'junk' for a dollar"
-
I had this exact problem with my wii, no component output. After watching your video I decided to see if this would work on mine too, and I'm happy to say that it was successful. Great video, it 100% helped.
-
Congrats on the fix dude! Glad to hear my thread still helps people from time to time. Excellent troubleshooting, and excellent bodge. Looking forward to the next video!
-
I've actually seen a few Wiis with the exact same issue. Worst was one where the capacitor leaked everywhere and made a big mess.
-
I love those dodgey repairs. There was almost no way to know that de-soldering would break the pads over twisting. Now we ALL know thanks to you. That’s how we progress and learn
-
the fact that it actually works is insane, even a £10 [or 10$ ig] is really cheap for a wii!
-
matt: factory resets wii
the creepypasta demon that was waiting for him to open the mii channel: 👁👄👁 -
Reminds me of this fridge sold on Facebook marked "works fine, doesn't cool" lmfao
-
8:47 dark mode for the Wii

How beautifully put. Thank you, my dad went to school for system engineering late 80’s and he was always doing stuff like this. It made me feel like at was looking at him again.
