does anyone have this symptom?

It's like noise all over the screen image. I've tried with normal composite cable and component cables. both happens to be the same. it just that composite cable doesn't show the pixels so obviously.

it's happen to me, but only component has this symptom...composite is crystal clear but still blur in game...turn out mine not hardware problems, but actually my LCD TV give the problem...but test on other LCD TV seems ok...so I don't know what to say at this point, why only my TV not have this problem...not fair!!!

2 stories i've heard regarding an issue like this :-

1) certain model of Samsung LCD TV
2) GPU of the Wii overheating

so far i suspect it's the 2nd.
i'm using sony trinitron. doesn't have problem like this when i use my ps2 with component vid.
sigh.... i've just called bernard shop. seems like alot of ppl are suffering the same problem.

gaming wise it's not effected. all i can say for now is just pretend that it's not there.
i'm ok with zelda but resident evil is to obvious.
sigh....

anyone else without the problem?
i am having the same problem too

not too obvious though

i haven seen this on my wii yet

well... to me i haven't really notice it until u use component cables and playing games with dark environments or busy textures in the bg.
fog could shows quite alot too.
the zelda for instance shows up in the title screen. while in game not so obvious.
for ppl who use composite cables might not notice it at all.

Mine would be no. 1 problem...I'm using Samsung LCD S7 32 inch series and definetly has this problem...tested on other Samsung model seems ok..!!!
about no.2, maybe small percent will occur as I already tested 2 different wii on my TV and it give the same problem also...

I'm using crt tv...using normal av cable, no prob there

I am using component with sony lcd 46"
it looks fine to me.

hmmmm

How do you refer to "noise" in these cases..

The only problem I ever had with my Wii, is that some games like Resi 4 Wii Edition, and GCN Animal Crossing would display small white horizontal lines through the whole TV. Very noticable on black background.. But it only occurs once in awhile, and from what I gather, GCN emulation?

Quite scary wan these lines.

graphical glitches = first signs of 3ROD hardware failure... oh wait that's the 360

hmm... madmoz could be correct... 3ROD = Heat prob, rite?
Those with graphical problems~ Do u guys leave ur Wiis with Connect24 on 24x7? <-- Orange Light

Used to, not anymore. Updates are unworthy. Message Board still works.. Only if you excessively use News Channel should you have WiiConnect24 turned on.

like me from the first day bought already happen...

i still put orange light, but hearing all these syntoms from you guys, i think its time go back to green red light

I think its not advisable to keep the Wii on standby, it heats up excessively. I think its because the FAN is off but the Wii is still working. Kinda a design flaw IMHO.

Hearing about these heat issues, do you guys keep your wii inside your TV cabinet? Because i keep mine on it, out in the open, next to the TV, 24 hours standby mode, and there isn't any overheating at all.

well i kept mine on the open with a aircorn blasting on it most of the time. But I think I should consider about on standby mode

nub... feel the heat on the bottom of ur wii(when laid horizontally). It feels more than warm~

IMO, its the wifi adapter heating up~ ouch!~! really bad part used. Cause in statements, the Wii on standby uses really low power. :dizzy:
Why does a part using only minimal power heats up so badly... Its really a myth~
