Hardware Can't repair my Wii

[NoneName]

Hello.
It’s been several months that I try to find a way to fix my Wii by looking for different tutorials on the Web but no change.
My Wii is in version 4.3E with BootMii in IOS and Priiloader.
My Wii has a Wi-Fi brick and a Banner brick, I can’t fix the Banner brick ; and today my Wii did not want to play discs: the disc animation starts, it stops, it is then marked "Please insert a disc" and then it starts again.
Should I take it to a repairman or buy a new one?

You need to fix both for if your BT&Wifi don't function so will signing or was it crypting fail.
since this means it will not being able to do the checks of signature it will not be able to sign either, and will in a few second tell the processor it got illigal instructions.
You need to fix the hardware befor you can fix the banner (if the HW is really defect).

The only physical modification is that it is hacked with a chip.

What is a WiFi brick? Is the WiFi chip damaged? You will need a new one to start System Menu.

Please provide more information. Can you still access Priiloader and/or Homebrew Channel and/or BootMii? Does the Wii Remote connect to Priiloader or Homebrew Channel?

I don't know what happened, I was able to use the internet normally but at some point the Wi-Fi doesn't work anymore.
Is it possible that the module was disconnected due to a shock?

I can access all of them.

Has your wifi access point changed? Wii can't connect to latest wifi security protocols iirc, so u may need to either adjust your router settings or switch routers, or use a usb Lan adapter.... assuming the issues isn't wii hardware related

Either the WiFi card is damaged or its because of your router's settings. Like XFlak said, the Wii cannot connect to newer WiFi security protocols so you'd need to change that yourself. Otherwise, if the card is damaged, then you will need to tear down the console and swap it out with a donor.

Banner bricks are easy to fix. Boot into Prilloader to your desired WAD manager, and uninstall the WAD that you had installed which caused the brick. It can also be down to using Bannerbomb, since it is incompatible with 4.3 System Menus.

I tried to uninstall all unofficial WADs but no effect. (I can start the system menu but when I start a string, the error message appears.)
And I never used Bannerbomb.

Maybe do remove the chip, since the only thing you're going to be playing your games on are from a USB flash drive. Overtime, the chips can go bad, and could make the drive not read discs anymore.

I also recommend updating your softmod as well. https://wii.guide

I can not remove my chip yet because I do not have all the necessary material.

Does your Wii show an error message when you start any channel? If yes, it's probably the disc drive that's dead or isn't properly connected to the board. You mentioned that you have a modchip. That might also be the culprit.

Yes, but not in maintenance mode.

I managed to open it but I don’t know where the chip is.
