Reset - Wii Screen Resolution.

After Setting the screen resolution to 60hz
The Screen on the TV has gone blank.

What i need to know is there a way to actually reset the
wii box to defaults again?

Its probably one of them where you have to press the reset
and hold something else in while scratchin yu nuts. . .


Just cant find anything about it.

Ive tried Turning it off and re-connecting the leads
but that hasnt worked as it was mentiond in a forum.

The problem is because the screen is blank i cant get
it back to 50hz again.


Ive read that i would have to take it to a tv that supports
60hz but that seems daft. . .

Why / How can i re-set my wii ??

i guess they've got a sort of CMOS? or maybe a settings saved on there inbuilt HD, maybe remove the HD if poss or leave unplugged for a while?
best bet plug into a 60hz screen

Have a word with shadow omega?

Shadow would know but not here tonight. Will get him to post asap if no one else comes up with a solution beforehand.

Try this, although it is unconfirmed:

- Power on Wii, give it a few seconds to boot
- Hold DOWN on the directional pad of the Wii remote
- While holding DOWN, press the RESET button on the Wii

yep that was it, it was in the last place we thought of looking and that was in the offical manual lol

hold the cross and the reset and wait, it restarts and its all sorted.

Thanks for your help
