Hello everyone. Today I was installing a new component video switcher in my game room, and when I turned on the Wii to test the video, I noticed that it was only booting to a black screen. I had dealt with this a few years ago and was able to resolve it by using BootMii to load the HBC and install some updated WAD files that fixed whatever had caused it. This time however I have been unable to boot into BootMii. I can see it flash by quickly when the system boots, but cannot seem to get it to stay up or register any menu inputs with the Power and Reset buttons. I was able to boot into Priiloader by holding Reset with the SD card removed, but from there I am only able to access the HBC, not the System Menu at all.
I thought maybe reinstalling/updating the Softmod might bruteforce fix the issue by updating every needed IOS, but the guide I was following said to first attempt to run the HackMii installer. This is where I noticed another issue, namely that the "Press 1 to Continue" message never pops up when starting HackMii. I followed the HackMii solutions guide to try and fix this but the issue persists. This makes me wonder if this is not an IOS issue in the first place. I ran SysCheck, but didn't notice anything out of the blue, although I am certainly no expert in that, and I have attached the SysCheck report. I want to make clear that I did not attempt to "Virginize" this console or anything like that, which I know will likely cause a brick. I have heard that the Bluetooth or Wifi modules dying could cause this, and have been wondering if that is the issue. The Bluetooth module seems to be working since once I am in Priiloader, the Wii Remote connects without any issue. The Wifi module is harder to test since I can't get to the setting menu to test the connection, and the location of the console in my house is sort of far from the router in the first place. This system was last working just a few months ago at the very least, and it hasn't been moved or tampered with in any way since then. Any help or suggestions that you guys have is greatly appreciated. I am not opposed to buying a new console if I need to, but I would like to exhaust all of the possible solutions before that.
