so this is a little different from the normal post, so after looking around for awhile I decided to ask you guys.
I got a Wii off ebay (black rv-001) it said boots but no video, and I was like hmm...guess i'll buy it (it was kinda cheap) anyway I got it and tried to test it....symptoms, it boots (green light comes on/disc drive werr's) but no video and i can't get the Wiimote to sync, my video box converter thing senses something (when its plugged in you get a blue screen but when you turn the Wii on the screen goes black) and to turn it off the Wii you have to hold the power button for 3 sec instead of 1 like my working Wii. Just fyi I tried the same stuff with my working Wii and it all worked fine, so I know it's not the cables, does anyone know what the problem might be? is it the bluetooth? i know it won't boot if the bluetooth isn't working. if it is the bluetooth, is it hard to replace? I tried looking around and couldn't find much, so I thought i'd ask you guys.... I have 2, 6 layer Wii's, and 1 more 4 layer coming, all broken one way or another, if possible I can (try to) swap something out of one in to another, or if its out of my league, I could send it to one of you guys if your interested...for whatever it's worth to you. thanks.
