Most power issues with the Wii can be fixed by resetting the AC adapter. You can easily reset the AC adapter by following these steps:-

• Unplug the Wii AC adapter at both ends (from the back of the Wii system and from the wall outlet or power strip).
• The AC adapter must remain unplugged at both ends for a full 2 minutes.
  
• It is also recommend you unplug anything connected to the USB ports and the Nintendo GameCube Controller ports.
• While you're waiting, check the AC Adapter for the following:-
  • Make sure that the word "Wii" and the model number "RVL-002 (USA)" molded into the AC adapter. Unlicensed products are not fully compatible and may not work correctly.
  • Check the AC Adapter for physical damage. Physical damage, such as frayed wiring or a cracked housing can cause the system to shut down. If your AC Adapter shows signs of physical damage and needs to be replaced, you can purchase one from Nintendo's online store.
• After you've waited 2 minutes, plug the AC adapter into the Wii system and directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector or power strip. If the power light comes on and stays on, then it appears resetting the AC Adapter worked.

Make sure the Wii has good ventilation. Avoid operating the Wii while it's on carpeting or inside an enclosed space. If you have the Wii placed in a vertical position, make sure the vent on the bottom is lined up properly with the hole in the plastic stand and no foreign material is obstructing that hole.

Also Check the vents on the back and side of the Wii for dust build up. The system will shut down if it cannot vent properly to prevent overheating. If there is a build-up, remove it using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.

Try unplugging it from the wall and the console for about twenty minutes, then plug it back in.Let the system rest for about 45 seconds. While you're waiting, check to see that controller cords, AC Adapter, and Stereo AV cables/Component Video cables are not frayed or have exposed wires (this can cause the system to shut off); if so, you should replace those parts. After the 45 seconds, plug the AC Adapter into the system and wall outlet. Check to see if the power light on the Power button comes on.
