Wii consul light flashing

The blue light in the disc slot on my Wii consul flashes periodically, does anyone know why this is.

Its because it's Christmas, Nintendo make it flash to add a festive air to your Wii.


Actually it's downloading an update over the net, assuming you've got it connected to the net.

Our's is doing it at the moment too. When you use it again it should stop.

Its an alert that downloads are available.
If you are unsure remember.

Das wiimachine ist nicht fuer gefingerpoken und mittengrabben.
Ist easy schnappen der springenwerk, blowenfusen und poppencorken
mit spitzensparken. Ist nicht fuer gewerken bei das dumpkopfen.
Das rubbernecken sichtseeren keepen das cotten-pickenen hans in das
pockets muss; relaxen und watchen das blinkenlichten.

The Wii disk drive flashes blue when there is an unread message on the message board. You get these periodically from Nintendo, but also every day that you play, the Wii creates a message saying what you have played, and for how long.

You can turn this blue flashing off - I can't remember how though. Will look it up and post later.

I find turning off at the wall solves this

Ours does this, are you sure it is a message? I found if I have it on it's side in the stand it flashes all the time, if I put it on it's side then it stops. I just thought that the annoying blue light was broken.

It's because of a message. Check the message inbox.

If you've turned the wii off at the wall, then back on, the power indicator will be red. If you turn it on, then off, you'll notice the power light becomes orange. That's because it's listening to the internet and will pick up any messages. I recently turned my wii on for the first time in a year (to play Zach and wiki. if you have a wii and DONT have this game, you should be shot) and ended up with a huge amount of messages alerting me to updates and so on.

Have you looked in the instruction manual?
