Hey all, not sure if anyone can help with this or not, but thought there would be no harm in asking. I have an original Wii with composite (Red, Yellow, White) out which I am trying to hook up to my current model LG old (LG OLED55B6P). I live in Japan so both the LG TV and Wii are Japanese models, though I don't think that matters. The LG tv comes with a composite breakout cable which I have tried hooking the Wii up to, but 1) I get no video and 2) I get a loud buzzing through the TV. I can barely hear the Wii background music behind the loud buzzing sound. I have tried the connection in all variations just to make sure there wasn't some color labeling error at the manufacturing plant. Have also tried a $5 composite to HDMI adapter which got the sound through fine, but left me with a pretty subpar picture and a persistent "waving" (some kind of interference or feedback perhaps?) in the picture. The only way I've gotten it to work perfectly is to hook it up through my old Blu-ray/HDD combo and then run that to the TV. Unfortunately, the Blu-ray/HDD is on its last legs, and has a constant GIANT error message on the screen that can't be erased telling me that the HDD has an error and to call the tech number. Any ideas on the cheapest and most effective way to get this Wii working on my tv?? Primarily for my 5 year old son who loves the Wii. Cheers all!
