I dont really understand what you want.
If the light is red, then the wii is off (cant go on wiiconnect24)
If its yellow, the wii is on standby (wiiconect24 is activaited)
If the light is red, It cant change to yellow unless you connect.
Give your wii some room and it should not fry itself.
*shouldn't this be in the wii discussion*
