Nothing went wrong with mine either thankfully
Apparently fairy lights stop the Wii working as well. Seriously.

The good news is that once you contact Nintendo's customer service line at 1-800-255-3700 with the problem they will ship you out a new system right away (not including cables or controllers) via UPS as long as you have a major credit card. You will have to return the defective unit back to them in the pre-paid packaging they will send you within 21 days, however, or they will charge your credit card for the retail price of the system.
The whole process took me a 5-minute phone call on Saturday morning to set up and my new Wii arrived yesterday, and from what I can tell works fine. If you've purchased a Wii for someone for Christmas, you might want to crack open the box now to see if you get the specific error code listed above after the first system update.
I was really impressed with Nintendo's quick resolution to the problem and appreciative that the new console arrived so quickly. They certainly made another loyal customer after my call on Saturday.
