I got out my old Wii that worked fine for the longest time with no issue, one day I go to turn it one, and the picture displayed is very dim and hard to see but there is still one. I know it is not the tv or the power cable as my grandparent’s Wii still works perfectly and theirs still works fine with my cables and on my tv. What could be the issue and how would I fix it. If I can’t fix it is it possible to get another Wii and transfer the data over to that new one?

Hi! Which cables are you using? The regular AV cables? What you can do: Buy and try the composite cables. Perhaps this will work. Side-Note: It also could be your AV port which is damaged or something went wrong with the GPU.

MattKC did a video on dim wii video! though it is really difficult to fix if you plan on doing it yourself. https://youtu.be/sdWmm33VzBM

Maybe buy a second AV cable to test that it’s not the cable itself. If that does nothing, try a nice old power wash of a q-tip and alcohol, if neither work, just follow MattKC’s video
