Wii Dead from Power Surge

apw7r · 04-18-2007, 07:30 AM

I was playing my Wii during a thunderstorm (maybe inadvisable, but I love some Link to the Past), and there was a surge. My TV just flickered off and on, but my Wii seems for all intents and purposes to be finished. Can somebody tell me what part of the Wii would have been affected by this, whether it's fixable (by myself or otherwise), and whether it will affect my hard drive. I just got past Turtle Rock and can't bear the thought of going back to a time when I didn't know I was Zelda's... Thanks for any help.

Surely, it must be under warranty. If it is, do not tell them that you played it in a storm.
