Wii why black and white

Thanks a lot already for your video. So the only the component option allows me to see the screen, although black and white. Do you have any solution? It seems that the other adapter cable somehow screws up the video signal if its plugged in at the same time as the component cable. Downunda Melbourne Australia. Dude u just saved me from throwing my GameCube out!! Thank you kindly for this. This is simple, the Wii uses standard AV cables, most TVs have component, a higher quality av with more cables.

My TV wont let me just switch it to AV. Do I have to reconnect the cables a certain way? Then I realised it was the TV. Oh my gosh thank you! You have saved my sanity i thought my ps2 was broken! I nearly bought an hdmi adaptor. Thank you so much. It worked! Just make sure you turn on your DVD player. We are so happy! Thanks a stack. Removing the one connector got my colour picture.

Thanks very much, I struggled for ages trying different things. Thank you sooooo much! This was the exact problem I had with the same tv too! Holy crap! I have the red, yellow, and white AV cables and had to unplug the red one for it to work.

Thanks for posting! Despite the poor quality of the video recording.. Thanks a lot. My problem was the opposite of yours. I was actually trying to use component when I should have been using av. I think I have the same tv as you and I did what you did and it works perfectly now. Thanks for making this video! Well i have a tv that has only yellow,white,and red plugs in the back of the tv and my wii av cable has green, blue, white, and two reds what do i do.

Go to your local Gamestop, only do this if you have a T. V with red, white, red, blue, and green plugs ask for a cord that has those colors. All about science and technology. Click on "Watch later" to put videos here.

If your Nintendo Wii is displaying images in black and white but not in color, the most likely cause is a problem in the connection or settings of your console. These errors can be fixed by a series of troubleshooting steps.

If the picture now displays in color, the problem is not with your Wii but with the device it is running through. Blow gently into the plugs on either end to ensure no dust or particles are obstructing the connection, and then reconnect the cable by firmly pushing the plugs back into place. Some Wii games, such as "MadWorld" and "Bit. Trip," use color sparingly or not at all. If you can see color in all but a few Wii games, the issue may not be a technical issue of the console but a feature of the game.

If none of these steps solve your Wii's black and white display problem, try using the console on a second television. If the second television does not display a color picture, your console may be defective.
