I would like it if people were honest and wouldn't practice scummy tactics like lying to store clerks :')

Speaking of which, I like this more as a EoF thread.

I would not return it to the store like you intended to.
It's immoral and scummy.
Really? We have had a few Wii lately hardware failing – could be the case here. Example
It is a bit like with brand new things: If you root/jailbreak → no warranty on the hardware (even if there is absolutely no causality between modded software and the failure). That topic has more than one side. Lying for "I screwed up and somebody else should take the damage" is 100% scummy.

@RuthyHans If you did the modding correctly you should have access to BootMii in boot2 (if possible on your device) and/or Priiloader. If the following conditions are true:
  • Priiloader installed correctly (verified working before)
  • No System Menu replaced (overwrites Priiloader)
  • Console previously working (System Menu), no dangerous operation, started WiiFlow → Bang
  • Priiloader not starting now
then and only then I would say hardware failure.

@RuthyHans You can't access Priiloader by holding start on boot? And you didn't set up BootMii as boot2 when you modded it? If you did, make sure the sdcard is inserted.
i had priiloader installed and bootmii set as an ios, i don't know how to get to a recovery mode or boot mii as ios but priiloader didn't work

Again, holding reset when boot doesn't take you straight to Priiloader? If you can't access either then it's bricked.

it only said that it could install bootmii as ios and i could get into priiloader before and didn't mess with the menu at all besides the disc channel priiloader mod but that's all

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
