Wii has a problem

Yes, my Wii has a problem. It is the infamous flickering white and gray pixels problem. I talked to the support line, and they are going to repair it after I send it back to them.

Oh well. It's a bit disappointing that it has this problem so soon after it was released, but they were really good at the customer service, offering to send a brand new one right away if I didn't mind losing any virtual console games that I had downloaded. I have spent $20 on Wii points, so I decided to just have them repair my existing console and keep the few games I downloaded already.

When the problem first happened I was playing Link To the Past and there started being what looked like white and gray pixels stuck in the textures as they moved around. It later started happening in other Channels like the News and Weather, and finally I tried out a Wii game and saw the same thing, so I called Nintendo.
