My Wii dead?

Last night there was a severe thunderstrom that didn't do much, but cause a short small power surge. When I go to my room though, I notice the yellow light on the Wii isn't on. I trying unplugging the power cable from the Wii and power outlet and plugging them in, but still no light. It won't turn on, and trying to turn it on by the Wiimotes just cause them to blink and do nothing. I'm very concerned that the Wii may be dead. It just doesn't make sence because the power is connected to a power strip, and on the same strip is a HDTV, Audio System, Audio Equalizer, and Xbox 360, and they all work just fine. The Wii was not on during the storm, and wasn't on since the day before. Anyone know what I can do besides calling Nintendo? It's no under warrenty, and don't know how much it costs to get it fixed.

Any help appreciated. Thank you.

all i can say is call Nintendo, they should have the answer. and sorry about your Wii :(

it probably did die. You should buy a power surge protector plug. When ever some kind of electric or electromagnetic interference occurs this has a chance of damaging electronics. My friends laptop died after an airplane flew very close over his housem, and my dads computer died when an electric pole blew up across the street from his work.

Try taking your Wii to a friends house and pluging in his power supply, if it works good news :)if it don't work bad news :( time to call nintendo

dude!

i had a huge thundersotrm too

maybe we live in the same area

Check and see if it's just the cord (the brick might be fried).

Ok. I went to the support website and tried the "resetting AC adapter" option and it worked. So if anyone else gets this issue, this may fix it.

You just need a new ac/dc adapter. My wife set the breaker off when she painted over a electrical outlet. Wii stopped working. Third party ones are about $15 on internet.

Edit: Saw your update. So all you did was unplug it for 90 seconds? Good for you.
