this section is pretty dead now, i tried searching through the old threads and nothing sounded like what i'm experiencing right now.
so basically i haven't turned on the Wii in many many months. today, i tried to turn it on and my TV was saying "No Signal Found" even though the light on the Wii was green. i turned it off, then put in my SD card with apps on it.
BootMii launches and i get 4 selections- Wii, the homebrew channel, SD, and settings. if i choose Wii or the homebrew channel, i get the "No Signal Found" on my TV.
i'm not sure what else i can do from BootMii.
any help would be awesome!
EDIT: more info from the Settings > Info
BootMii v1.1
Stub v1.1
Mini v1.1
SysMenu 4.2u boot1b boot2v2
NAND FS usage 84.3%
i also tried selecting the icon that shows an arrow point from a chip to the SD card. it looked like it was going through some scan, then it backed up something. not sure what all this was. but now if i try to select the SD option from the first menu, i get "Failed to read dir!".
EDIT: i left the entire Wii unplugged over night, about 9 hours. i just plugged everything in, and the same things happened. the Wii can be powered on with a Wii remote. so i guess that means the Bluetooth module still works? i never use Wi-Fi on it, but it could go bad?
PROBLEM SOLVED (so anyone with this issue doesn't have to read the entire thread):

PROBLEM SOLVED (so anyone with this issue doesn't have to read the entire thread):
- go here: http://www.hacksden.com/showthread.php/5574-Format-Wii-Nand-Using-ohneswanzenegger-Guide
- and download the "ohneschwanzenegger" software.
- while that's downloading, make a backup of your nand through BootMii. the backup creates 2 files on your SD card "keys.bin" and "nand.bin" copy these to your hard drive in a safe place. then copy again these files into the "ohneswanzenegger_r85" folder.
- launch the "ohneschwanzenegger.exe"
- click on "Nand Dump" on the upper left. then "New nand..."
- click on the big "Existing Nand..." button and select your "nand.bin" file within the same folder.
- click on the "Keys" button and select your "keys.bin" file. then click OK.
- type in "4.1u" in the first row, first input box, and click "Get It!"
- this will take some time.
- a popup prompt will come up with info about your Wii. make sure everything matches. in my instance, this popup did not have the correct Serial Number. so i had to manually change it. click OK.
- this then created a "testnand.bin" file. rename this to "nand.bin"
- copy this new "nand.bin" file and replace the one on your SD card. do not touch the "keys.bin" file.
- put this SD card back into the Wii and launch BootMii.
- restore your backup, and this should a longer while.
- done.
