Nintendo Wii

The first firmware update via WiiConnect24 caused a very small portion of units to become completely unusable. This forced users to either send their units to Nintendo for repairs (if they wished to retain their saved data), or exchange it for a free replacement. It has also been reported that a Wii console receiving WiiConnect24 data in standby mode can overheat to the point of damaging the GPU and CPU. This has caused pixelation problems and instances of total hardware failure. As of April 21, 2007, it is possible to contact Nintendo and send it for repair. A small number of routers are partially or totally incompatible with the Wii console, due to the way the Wii interacts with them, and the firewalls that the routers use. Although the firewall in some routers can be disabled to provide partial or full functionality with the Wii, some firewall settings on some routers cannot be changed and therefore are incompatible with the Wii. Nintendo has provided a list of incompatible units.
