    Hardware Purchased used wii - can't get past Health and Safety screen

    When using a Gamecube controller and entering the recovery mode, I get to the black screen with 4.1(USA) listed in the bottom right corner. I am attempting to update the firmware to 4.3U, but have not had any success yet. I have inserted various wii game discs into the wii after getting to this...

    Trying a new battery did not change the outcome of my trouble. Still experiencing the same issue.

    Hardware Purchased used wii - can't get past Health and Safety screen

    Finally got back to working on the wii again with my busy schedule. I was able to pick up a gamecube controller and sucessfully got the black screen with the version number in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. I am doing all the reading that I can, but am I going to need a modchip in...

    Can anyone point me to a more recent tutorial on using savemii frii ? Everything I find on it is pretty dated and I am sure there are probably better methods and better solderless mod chips to use now. Thanks.

    How would I load up bootmii2 without being able to get into the menu of the wii? I bought it knowingly broken to get some parts to fix another broken wii I had, so I am not totally out on it at all. I just thought it would be nice to get fixed, so I could give it to my nephews to play. They love...

    I don't have a gamecube controller, but I am going to try to pick one up from ebay or look at garage sales / goodwill / etc... for one. I was actually just reading about the savemiifrii about 20 minutes ago before I saw your reply. I will have to give this a try for sure.

    Hardware Purchased used wii - can't get past Health and Safety screen

    I am new to wii's, so I am not sure what a modchip would look like. When I did a dis-assembly, it looke 100% as if the unit had never been taken apart though. If it had been before, then they replaced every rubber pad and white screw sticker cover. I really don't think any hardware has been...

    I have already tried both of those with the same results. They did not affect the outcome at all unfortunately.

    I just powered it on and did not see any lights come on at all around the disc slot. They only come on, when you insert a disc. I was hoping that I may have had a chance at getting through.

    Hardware Purchased used wii - can't get past Health and Safety screen

    Bought a used wii that I know nothing about what the previous owner has done to it. I found a SD Card in the wii, but it had pictures and what looked like game saves only. I don't think it has been soft modded before. When you power it on, it seems as if it gets frozen at the Health and Safety...

    I received my new buffalo HDD in and so far everything is working perfectly. I blame the western digital for all of my troubles.

    FOLLOW UP: To those who may look at this thread to help resolve a similar problem. I believe it may be an issue with my Western Digital MyBook 750GB hdd. After multiple troubleshooting, I finally unplugged the power going to my HDD and waited until USB Loader GX began looking for the HDD before...

    Hacking USB Loader GX 3.0 not seeing HDD - Was working fine earlier in day

    So, I apparently still have the issue going. I was able to sucessfully get it going earlier by the above change, but after testing it, going out for dinner and coming back to test it again...I am left with the exact same issue all over again. I went back to check the loader settings again, but...
