Hey all, I've been doing a lot of research on this forum and wanted to join due to a problem that just cropped up on my old Wii where the screen stays black after powering it up.
It is rarely used nowadays, but I do like to turn it on every now and then to play some old WiiWare and VC titles. I probably last used it two months ago with no issues.
I also installed Homebrew Channel on it years ago using Super Smash Bros. Brawl, after following the same steps I used to install it on my Wii U (which still works perfectly fine). That's all I've done, no custom themes or anything like that.
My Wii Remote's batteries were long dead, and after changing them and attempting to sync with the Wii, it took a solid minute or so to know something was up as the remote would not sync.
I have a Roku TV, and the original cables. I tested the cables and connection with another Wii that I have, and the cables are just fine. This Wii boots right up to the menu, no issues at all with this TV.
When I power on this Wii, the blue ring flashes once, the disc tray makes its usual noises, and that's it. The LED burns green. I can even put a disc in and eject it.
Anybody have any ideas to get past this issue? I tried holding reset when I powered it on, but that didn't work. I have a 256MB and a 2GB SD card I around that I can try to use.
Thanks so much for your help!
