No video or audio, replace HDD or GPU?

My Wii does not put out any audio or video, I hear the ROM drive and the fan spinning. I disconnected all the cables to the Wii and hooked up my other Wii, it worked perfectly. So I am thinking it is the GPU. Will it be easier to change the GPU or just swap the HDDs. I have not found a guide to do either of these on the ifixit website.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

After some reading it may be an idea to check your Bluetooth and wifi module first. If they have come loose it will prevent video and audio.

HDD usually stands for Hard Disk Drive. My wii doesn't have one, only the DVD drive.

But I also have a wii that doesn't give sound or video, and wondered how hard it is to replace the relevant audio-video encoder chip, which is available on-line.
