Question

Is it normal for the Nintendo Wii console to stay a little warm even if it is turned off?
Also I noticed the little light when the Wii is off is staying orange. I thought it was supposed to stay red when the console was off. Can you tell me what is normal?

Answer

Mine stays orange when I turn it off, too. It means that WiiConnect is on, which is a little program that runs in the background and downloads software updates over the internet. When WiiConnect is enabled, turning off your Wii really puts it into standby mode, which doesnt consume as much power as when its turned on, but does mean that the Wii is working a little bit thats why it stays warm. You can disable it by turning off quotStandby Connectquot in the Wii setup.
