    Hacking To those sending your Wiis to Nintendo or thinking about it.

    I called Nintendo again today about my VCs. They transferred everything over very quickly. So no 2 Wiis for me That's okay since Mail Fraud doesn't really sit well with me anyway. My repair/advance replacement was done for the same fee as Holdercj's.

    I already bannerbombed this new system and am up to the Good 4.0.. but now I realize that my legit VC games can't be downloaded on this machine (a Ninty Rep never explained that my VC games would be lost!) Now I'm seriously considering flame6753's suggestion 1) Call Ninty and demand they...

    The time I sent my Wii in it took less than a week to get it back. When they decided to send me a new one, they sent it 2nd Day Air. This whole process was very quick, but then again the subcontractor is in California and I live in the same state.

    The new Wii was on my porch when I got home today. It has 3.3U loaded on it and it doesn't freeze!

    Hacking To those sending your Wiis to Nintendo or thinking about it.

    I called Nintendo and they decided to send me a new Wii, and once received, I send back this sketchy Wii. They originally wanted me to send in only my Zelda disc, but my Wii froze twice at the System Menu options screen when I was on the phone with them. I could have sworn all of my previous...

    Hacking To those sending your Wiis to Nintendo or thinking about it.

    You guys are right about contacting Nintendo. I'm not going to change anything with my Wii and I'll give them a call to see what they'll do. Since most of you felt there's something wrong with my Wii, and not a trick that Ninty was playing as I had originally thought, I started popping in all...

    Hacking To those sending your Wiis to Nintendo or thinking about it.

    I don't have the TP Hack on my SD card at all. I could tell them that I do not have Internet access and thus I am not able to update As for the region setting, I didn't have to select anything but I went into the options and selected USA after I read your post. It still has the same problem...

    Hacking To those sending your Wiis to Nintendo or thinking about it.

    I have a weird update. I just tried launching the Wii Shop channel and it first stated that "The Wii shop channel is not yet available in your region." and then froze at that screen. WTF? I reset the console and now it gives me a standard "There is an update to the Wii Shop Channel!" message...

    Hacking To those sending your Wiis to Nintendo or thinking about it.

    So I just received my Wii back from Nintendo to repair a brick. I know I received a refurb because it has a different serial number. I could tell the Wii was a 3.2U because I checked in the options.. or so it would appear. The first game I tried was Zelda of course, and what I got was a...

    Hacking PRELOADER IS NOT A RISK

    You don't happen to have a vid of a recovery from Black Screen Of Death do you? If you do, I'd like to see it.

    Hacking PRELOADER IS NOT A RISK

    I tried SaveMiiFrii and it didn't work at all. I admit I didn't try holding reset when powering on because I wasn't aware of that feature. Would that have possibly worked for a Black Screen Of Death? I'll be more cautious this time around if I decide to use Preloader, so I want as much info...

    Hacking PRELOADER IS NOT A RISK

    It was $75 for the replacement. Unfortunately I didn't backup my saves (stupid me) and now they're all gone and it wont let me copy legit VC games from my SD card. However, all the VC games were copied to my SD when I had 4.0U on my old machine, so I don't know if that's the reason why they...

    Hacking PRELOADER IS NOT A RISK

    All I know is my Wii bricked after I changed the setting to boot to the System Menu instead of Preloader. I don't know if preloader is the cause but that was the very last thing I did before the brick occurred. I for one can see where the hesitation comes from. Now that I got a refurb Wii...

    Hacking Fully bricked wii - ideas?

    I have this same exact brick problem too. Except mine is NTSC U, and unchipped. I can turn the console on with the Wiimote, so can it still be the BT module if that's the case? I have preloader installed but all I get is a black screen upon bootup.\ Also, the SaveMiiFrii doesn't work for me...

    What? DealWoot is evolving! *Update*

    I've bought from these guys before and when I had received defective product, they helped me out by providing a part from their own stock when the manufacturer wouldn't even help me. I always recommend these guys and I wish them the best of luck with their new name!

    It worked with the one game I tried, Castle Shikigami III. So I know it definitely can work with the launcher but I don't know how reliable it would be with other games.

    Thanks for the suggestions however I'm experiencing a couple problems. I first tried Gecko OS.... but it's having the same problem that my HBC loader had where it loads to the initial screen but it remains blank, only "Gecko OS" is at the top and the little icon of the Gecko at the bottom...
