A user suggested that "your wii component cord is probably fucked up tho you can order one from amazon or walmart." Another said it "sounds like your wii is on the wrong TV out put I know that happens with my game cube sometimes." One response actually came from a computer engineer, who replied that she should try "dusting off the jacks that plug into the screen."
