Bricked WII

briggy

Does anyone know where I can get a fully bricked WII fixed or any methods it just boots up to a black screen and nothing else happens. When I was modding it I did not install Bootmii 2 or something like that so I cannot fix it with an SD card.

I doubt there's anything that can be done. Even if you had a nand backup it probably still wouldn't help because the system can't get past the boot process due to corruption.

I know you don't need to hear this now but whenever you're softmodding a machine you should make sure you have a brick recovery mechanism. In this case, installing bootmii should have been step number 1.

You could play dumb and send it back to nintendo (if its under warranty). Sometimes they just send a replacement without checking the problem first

Unfortunately I didn't install Bootmii. The WII is not under warranty either

Have u got dump of a nand ? Then i can help, otherwise its immposible at this moment.

its not impossible, the dongle above get you into a factory service mode to reinstall from an autoboot disc,
you can do this for free also (savemiifrii) if you have a gamecube controller

Out of curiosity, how exactly is this possible?

Is it possible to control the system before it tries to start the (possibly corrupted) boot process? If so, what were nintendo thinking?!
