Wii are back in business!!



After 250 trips to the store, a few weeks, two new cords, and 250 trips to the store Wii are back in action! Here is how it all shook out. We bought a new power cord and got electricity going, we had sound but no video. So we took the Wii to the store and tried it with a component cord and it worked! So we knew it was the A/V cable.

Monday we took the cable and it tested fine. The guy said to bring the Wii back and test it. Which we had already done and knew the machine was working. But finally Wednesday we loaded it ALL up and took it back to the store. At the store we hooked up our cable and our Wii to their TV but it didn't work ... AAARRRRGGHHHH!!!

So we tried a cable with audio and S-video separate and it worked! Hurray! Except our TV doesn't have component OR S-video. But the TV we borrowed while our was broken does have S-video so we are at least back to playing again. It must be that the analog video out is bad but the digital video out is OK (but I am no tukang servis).

These photos were taken in the "computer lab" just before a bunch of crying broke out and we made everyone turn it off for the night. It was a new record after being gone for weeks it was back for 10 minutes. You can see Bethany trying to make her case about some injustice and the difficulty brewing in her eyes.

I do see the look of distress on Bethany's face. Way to persevere and get it fixed. Now if only you can apply that same determination to language school...

I can really see the expression on Bethany's face. I wanted to tell you that I go my own Ipod at Awana and I have 9 wee worship songs on it. We really miss you at Awana.
We love you very much.

Love, Rebecca Maxwell
