Hello all,

Ok...First off let me tell you all the story.

My firend asked me to hack his wii since I had experience with that kind of thing I went ahead and tried to do this I followed this guide External Link Removed My friend said he was on 4.1U and I even checked and yet It was on 4.1U so I came back the next day and got the homebrew channel installed (not thinking about installing bootmii because I thought that It was impossible to brick because everything was done properly) then I went ahead and booted up wad manager and installed the cios, the wii restarted and went to a blank black screen. This was 3 years ago or something like that, the thing Is my friends wife installed 4.2U on It without telling me and so It bricked the Wii. No bootmii no preloader, no nothing. I was on Cios38rev17.

So what I'm asking Is, how am I able to get this Wii running properly again? I press the power button, the green light comes on the disc spins acting like It's booting the wii game but It's just a blank black screen. No flashing of the screen no nothing. No NAND backup either.

And to just clear myself I am considered a noob at this now, I havnt really touched a Wii or anything like that In a few years so I don't know much at all about the Wii scene.

Thanks for reading

Couple things I failed to mention: Holding the reset button upon start-up doesn't do anything, and it is a launch Wii.

UPDATE: I am able to get to the Bootmii menu. Not sure what to do from here. The wiimote will not stay synced, if it is supposed to. ]]> BRICKED Wii Issues ONLY Lynch621 http://www.wiihacks.com/bricked-wii-issues-only/109618-wii-black-screen-green-light-after-year-no-use.html http://www.wiihacks.com/bricked-wii-issues-only/109586-semi-bricked-japanese-wii.html Sun, 12 May 2013 21:21:55 GMT firmware as it has the SD icon.

I recently bought a Japanese Wii when i try to access the system settings i get a Opera error "You tried to access the address marc:JP/JP/JPN/ondex01.html"
from what i have read, i presume this means it's semi bricked. I think the Wii is running 4x> firmware as it has the SD icon.

When i try to install banner bomb i get error#004, from what i have read this may mean it's on 4.3? When i try to use letterbomb, i open the red letter and the whole thing just freezes up.

This Wii does not have the homebrew channel or anything else on it. Does any one have any ideas on how this can be fixed??

Tripped over wire and wii gave some blurry cut off texts that said "corrupted files" and after trying to reboot, it just gave black screen of death no matter what I tried.

Background story:
Bought the wii on launch day about 6-7 years ago and gave it to my parents so I'm not sure which version they have it on now. Read that the only way to fix it is to have bootmii, homebrew, NAND backup, etc which I don't have for sure. Also read that if I don't have any of those previously mentioned installed, my console is pretty much completely dead and only way is to pay up and get it fixed/replaced at Nintendo.

Questions:
Is the only option I have to pay up and get it fixed? Also, this time I plan on installing homebrew and what not and was wondering if I can on any wii that I get replaced with or are there specific ones that I have to get for the homebrew to work? ]]> BRICKED Wii Issues ONLY Hakou http://www.wiihacks.com/bricked-wii-issues-only/109373-my-wii-completely-bricked.html http://www.wiihacks.com/bricked-wii-issues-only/109319-recovering-unmodified-wii-system-settings-semi-brick.html Mon, 29 Apr 2013 00:59:56 GMT Hi All,

I am having trouble with my Wii being unable to enter the system settings menu (black screen freeze, even in maintenance mode). I have never modded or softmodded it and it's been quite a while since I last used it. All of the data appears to be present and games seem to play, save, and load just fine. On occasion, the Wii sometimes locks up on the health warning screen (no Press A to continue and machine has to be powered off by holding the power button). I also have to manually power on the system -- the Wiimotes don't seem to do it anymore.

I don't have any idea what version of the system software is on the Wii, but the most recent game I've played is Zelda: Skyward Sword.

The perfectionist in me wants to fix it but the pragmatist says just leave it alone since it still (usually) boots and plays games. ;)

Is there a way to fix this without modding? Every thread I can find assumes the console is already modded or advises the user to mod the system. Or, should I just leave it alone?

Thanks! ]]> BRICKED Wii Issues ONLY djmarcin http://www.wiihacks.com/bricked-wii-issues-only/109319-recovering-unmodified-wii-system-settings-semi-brick.html http://www.wiihacks.com/bricked-wii-issues-only/109310-bricked-wii-not-sure.html Sun, 28 Apr 2013 15:21:59 GMT I was playing Mario Kart on my wii one night, and when i finished i turned my wii off as usual. the next day when i tried to turn it on, i just got a black screen, and can't sync my remotes. I have read on the internet, that this may be caused by a problem with the adapter, or something like that, and that I'm just supposed to unplug it and all, but it's still not working. I'm not sure if it's actually bricked, so i don't know where to look for help. i have homebrew, and I have DriveKey, but i have never been on the internet with my wii.

Please help me guys, i really miss playing it :/ ]]> BRICKED Wii Issues ONLY KostaKalinic http://www.wiihacks.com/bricked-wii-issues-only/109310-bricked-wii-not-sure.html http://www.wiihacks.com/bricked-wii-issues-only/109222-help-bricked-japanese-wii.html Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:43:06 GMT When the came wii basically came out, I received a japanese version of it already chip moded.
Now I can't access the wii settings, read any discs, and the sd slot won't read my card so I'm quite frustrated as to how to proceed
Most solutions listed require the use of a sd card but the slot won't register it for some reason and secondly,
my wii won't read any discs!

My initial attempts at burning discs have been useless and my wii won't see any of my sd files

All I know is that it's been hard moded some years ago, so I'm guessing the firmware version is around 3.X???

What do I?

Sry if this is in the wrong forum
