Answer
Gday Dalton,

At a guess it is hopefully just your power adaptor that has gone out. Unfortunately you would need a multimeter to test it. (Or another Wii) Check the real basic stuff like where you are plugging it into the wall socket has power.

If you have family or friends that have a Wii I would test there power adaptor on your Wii or vice versa to figure out if it is the power adaptor or Wii that is at fault. (You might be able to take it to a games store for them to do the exact same thing.)

Once you have what is causing the problem you can either replace the adaptor or have the Wii serviced if under warranty.
