Wii turns off a second after turning on

I have the Wii all plugged in and the console shows the red light indicating that it is on, but when I put in a CD, turn it on from a Wii remote, or press the power button, it immediately turns off. 

Answer this question I have this problem too

Do you have an Wii2HDMI or similar device plugged into your Wii?

by

@andrewsawesome no I don’t, everything I’ve got plugged into the Wii is from the original packaging

@Natasha Varma If you plug out everything but the power supply and use the power button, does it turn on for more than a second?

by

@andrewsawesome no it doesn’t. It’s weird because when I press the power or any button that I’ve mentioned before, it turns off after a second. To turn the red light back on, I have to specifically remove the plug from the back off the Wii for it to give the red light, otherwise if I just turn it on and off from the main socket it won’t turn on.

@andrewsawesome I’ve had the Wii packed up for a year if that changes anything. It was working perfectly fine last year July.

Can you open up the Wii and unplug the fan, then try powering it on(turn the wii off after it has been powered on for 3 seconds)?
