Picture Is Black and White or Does Not Appear
Situation:
The console powers on and shows a black and white image on the television screen
The console powers on and there is no image on the television
What to do:
Determine whether the Standard AV Cables (packaged with the system) or the Component Cables (sold separately) are being used.
AV Cables
Ensure the yellow, red, and white cables are connected to the correct corresponding inputs on the TV. (How To)
Try another set of inputs on the TV, or hooking the Wii console up to another TV.
If the TV does not have the yellow, red and white inputs, it will most likely have component inputs which allow standard AV cable use. Try these AV hookup steps. (How To)
Component Cables
Ensure the red, blue and green video cables are connected to the correct corresponding inputs on the TV. (How To)
Try another set of inputs on the TV, or hooking the Wii console up to another TV.
Still Not Resolved:
If the television is continues to show a black and white image when powering on the Wii console, then the problem is likely with the system and it will need to be repaired. Please call 1-800-255-3700 so that we may assist you further.
Try the different inputs on your TV to see if its black and white on all of them. If thats the case then try another TV, if its still black and white then its a problem with the Wii. If it works well on another TV then you know the original TV is the problem.
our wii turned black and white, and i fixed it by switching my AV onto AV1 setting, somehow it had gone on to AV25 and this had turned it black and white, so check out your AV menu options on your tele
you need to check your settings on your tv and make sure your wires are all the way in on the tv. there is also the possibility that you have a bad wire from your wii to the tv
I had this problem too. It was just because I had the wrong cord that
goes from the Wii to the t.v. I had a green, blue, and red for the
video. And a red and white for the audio, while my T.V. only took
yellow for the video. I just went out and bought the right cord that
instead of having green, blue, 2 reds, and a white, just had a yellow,
red, and white.
Hope this helps.
either your Wii or your TV dont match, one will be PAL and one will be NTSC or vice versa.
if you have a HD TV buy an HD composite cable off ebay for about £4 and it should sort it.
Your TV goes black & white, because your Wii could be NTSC or PAL which. If your Wii is PAL and your TV is NTSC then the TV will show a blac and white color. Since NTSC is for North America and PAL for Asia
