Wii Problems I'm Worried

I have the Red and Green pixel problem in some games. How does this happen? Is it from having WiiConnect24 in stand by and having the LED light to be yellow/orange instead of red? I'm sending my Wii to Nintnendo. Once I get it back can I have it in stand by and is there a chance it will lose memory because I have a lot of stuff on SSBB that I don't want to be erased seeing as you cant back SSBB data on to a SD card?

Not this again. A small number of wiis have defective heatsinks on the videocard. Those pixel issues are the first warning sign that the card is dying. Call Nintendo tell them what is occuring and that you want a repair and transfer of all vc purchases points, and save game data. They will talk you through the procedure it takes a week or less to get the box then a another week or to get the wii back. Nintendo will extend the warranty and sometimes they throw in a freebie or two. Be calm patient rational. Do not panic or cuss because the Nintendo customer support is top notch.
You should be able to leave wiiconnect24 on without problems I have since launch and no problems so I would imagine its just a faulty system.

I have had mine for a year and It's only been happening the past few weeks.

As had been ad nauseum and Nintendo will confirm this the red and green pixel issue is a defective heatsink on the video card.The video card has a manufactoring defect and is dying. The wii has to be sent in for repairs. Seriously do some reading. This has been posted thousands of times. Wiiconnect24 just causes the defective video card to be noticed earlier.
