Okay, here's the run down. The other day a guy at the Pawn shop I frequent gave me a Wii to take home and take a look at. The pawn shop got it off some one who tried to soft mod the unit and failed horribly. I got the system home and plugged it in and was greeted with a grey screen. I have tried several video cable and a Wii HDMI upscaler. I have read that it could be the cable or TV that's causing the problem. However on closer inspection It might be that the soft mod was done wrong and some how I just need to be able to format the system back to default. I have seen videos on you tube of it being done. I have been doing soft modding for a long time now and this is the first time I have seen this.

Anyone have any ideas on how we can bring this poor Wii back to life?

I think the fact that we are getting a picture even though it's a grey one means there might be some hope, hopefully lol. Any advice or help someone can provide would be most welcome. :)

Check for bootmii boot2 or priiloader. Hold reset as its powering up to see if priiloader is installed, and save a bootmii folder to your sd card and insert in the wii before powering it up to check if bootmii boot2 is installed

    I picked up Sniper Elite 4 for $5, is pretty good game, I like how you can chose how you want to play/ kill, is fun. Looking forward to finding and killing Hitler.
