Dodgy wad. Banner-bricked. No chip. Help!

Hi

I've been given a Wii to fix for a friend. It has HBC installed. He installed a dodgy wad, and now it's stuck on the first screen with a flashing 'Press A'. Is there any way I can fix this for him without buying anything? I have a GC controller and can press all 4 buttons on D-pad. There's no mod chip. When I boot maintenance mode firmware is 4.0. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks!

do you have preloader? or bootmii?

you could try the Universal unbrick disc V2.

apart from that, if you have no means of running homebrew, your pretty much screwed.

no bootmii, presumably no preloader. he buys wii games, but plays emulators with HBC

I've got the disk, but is there any way of booting it without a chip or other expensive bit of kit?

thanks
