Oh I know I’m hopelessly out of date, but I have a Wii which I would like to start using again.
I seem to have lost some connecty bits though!
What do I need? I have the big chunky power box and a wee connector cable for the tv, but I do not have the coloured (red yellow, white) thing that should link the box to the tv.
No idea how I can have lost one bit! All the YouTube vids are a bit confusing and I’m not 100% sure what connectors
I need and where I can buy them if I find out what I need.
Anyone able to help?
TIA

I just do not know everything I need. I wonder if anyone could let me know exactly it is I need, I think I'm only missing the one cable but I just don't know.

Is it the sensor bar that you're missing?
Maybe look at pics on eBay if anyone is selling one to see all the things?
We have one in the garage that we can't part with, as my deceased mum has a mii on there!

I have 3 cables coming out of the back of my wii. The power cable, the link to the sensor bar (that sits on top of the tv) and then the cable that connects the wii to the tv. We upgraded the colour lead for this hdmi connector and a hdmi lead into the tv. (3 on pic). Kids love playing it.

That’s great @GiraffesMum thank you. Can I just confirm what lead goes into the hdmi connector? Is it the one with the three coloured ends? What is the shape of the bit that goes into the connector, is it one single bit like the end of a computer power lead?

@toomanyplants that’s so lovely! I have the sensor bar, come to think of it, my Dad has a mii on our Wii too, hope I can get it working.🙂

@pippitysqueakity the hdmi connector and cable is used instead of the cable with the three coloured ends. You either use the lead with the three coloured ends or ‘upgrade’ to an hdmi connection.

If you click on the link in my first post (on the words hdmi connector) the pictures on amazon dhow you what it looks like.
