@JForder1,
That doesn't sound good. If you've read any of my recent posts on this thread... it sounds like we have a similar situation. I haven't read anyone in our situation getting out of it.
At this point, I fear we have 2 options.
1. Rip out our mod chips and send it into Nintendo. For about $90US, they will do everything they can to fix/repair my Wii while keeping my data. But, they don't make any promises. It does sound like they'd send back a working Wii no matter what. I didn't ask how they'd feel about working on it after it has obviously been opened already.
2. I've seen on the SaveMii troubleshooing page, that we may have to wait for a game to be released with a 4.2 system menu update. I suppose 4.1 would be OK for you. I'm dealing with a bricked 4.1u here... I banner bricked mine and feel that I possibly installed a WAD that may have been a Euro or JPN region WAD which is causing the problem...
Good luck! If you find something more.... let me know!
By the way, here is the Troubleshooting page:

I followed the Banner Brick chart but I can't get any autoboot disk to work. I still need to try DVD-R media... I only have DVD+R. But I'm not keeping my hopes up.
So, I jumped to Full Brick and followed Yes, Yes.
