Do not ever, under any circumstances, open your Wii to clean it.

A word of warning about cleaning a Wii.

Bearing all that in mind, I want to extend the life of my Wii for as long as I can. Coupled with the fact that it also plays my old Nintendo GameCube games, the Wii becomes a one-stop shop of awesome. It’s as if someone probed the suggestion box in my mind, and put everything I ever wanted into one neat, little package. It boasts a wireless point-and-click interface, connectivity to WiFi, and even streams Netflix instantly to your TV. It didn’t take me long to get on board with the Wii, though.

I still don’t know why it worked, but it always did. MAYBE using a q-tip if the game still won’t operate. My idea of cleaning a video game system was always blowing into the cartridge receptacle, and then blowing in the cartridge itself. When it comes to video games, I still dig the old school, original Super Mario Bros. I resisted the lure of the Nintendo Wii when it first came out.
