Black screen on the Wii when booting up

[mentoozzy]

My Wii is having some problems booting up, mostly with this weird brick that has been happening, this is the second time that this has happened

- The wii is off
- Goes to turn it on
- The green light is on but no image
- The wii remote can turn on the console but does not pair
- Priiloader does not boot up

I managed to fix it last time by doing the bluebomb method but it's off that its happening the second time, trying to stop this error for good.

Please check voltage converter U4

I see, so its something with the power source/voltage? I have a very shitty power supply that was working but appearly not for the long run
Since I'm not too familar with soldering and such, I'll just try to buy a new power supply or something of the sorts.

It is an internal voltage converter on the Wii motherboard.

This problem occurred several times on old model Wii consoles (which are the most valuable from homebrew perspective).

Your console might or might not have the same problem (and sometimes suddenly the converter works again for some time).

Please measure it.

Good luck!

Came back to say, I've read this several times and I didn't understood a single thing!
I don't know what to do anymore, I'll just hope that the Wii just turns back on like it did before...

If you don't describe you issues better nobody can help you further.

I assume a problem with a voltage converter on the motherboard. To confirm or disprove this you have to measure if said converter gives normal output voltage.
If the converter is broken it won't magically fix itself.

Could be a faulty WiFi module:

Maybe try recovery mode:

Could be a faulty WiFi module:

Unlikely for Priiloader to not show up in this case. At least for Bluetooth I know for sure Priiloader still works. Home Menu just locks up on pretty much every (not fatal) error.

if you have a chinese or unofficial power supply then that might be the problem

if you have a chinese or unofficial power supply then that might be the problem

or most likely a wifi card issue

black screen issue could happen if wifi or Bluetooth module broken
if you sure you wont full brick it changing modules is a way to debug issue
