Is this normal? Lately, I've been playing games. I noticed there are white dots on the texture that flash a lot and move around. Screens http://i42.tinypic.com/or5sau.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/szk0op.jpg I heard this is a GPU overheating issue. Should I be worried and send this to repair? I've been hearing stories that people first had white dots, then it changed colors and eventually filled the screen. NOT HDTV ERROR. Tried SDTV

The Wii is cooked, it's only going to get worse

Contact Nintendo and have it taken care of if you can

Specifically, the GPU (graphics processor) is fried.

Probably the video memory.

My first Wii had the same problem. It's broken. Send it to Nintendo.

I think my wii has the same problem. It's not very noticeable. I can only see them during the opening of Zelda TP and sometimes in Brawl. They're very, very small and you need to be close to see it. Can it be my TV? I use an 11 yr old TV when playing(my family hogs the new one). Otherwise, everything is working perfectly. I hope I don't have to send my Wii, I'm getting MH3 soon. :(

Probably your Wii... Sigh... they didn't replace the GPU when I told them too when I sent the Wii to Nintendo. Now I need to send it again(3rd) time.

I had this problem, it will get worse. Call and send your Wii to Nintendo. They changed mine with a brand new one in no time.

I heard that, leaving wiiconnect 24 on standby mode causes the overheating. After changing the Wii, I've never left it in standby. Now I have no problems with my Wii for about 3 years.
