I also have a fully bricked Wii with a backup from Bootmii (can only be installed as IOS), so I am considering sending it to you DeadlyFoez. How much do you charge for your magic? I will consider if it is worth it with the shipping price to/from Denmark.

I have a flat rate of $40 USD for my labor cost.

I might bricked my wii as well, do play epic micky causing the problem? I have 4.2 U soft mod wii, I downloaded epic mickey and it played fine. But today I try to play kurby (which we played many times before), it just won't play, gave me a blank screen. After tried three time, now my wii could not boot up. When I turned on the power, it just blank screen. I did not installed anything or upgrade any thing. Very strange... I guess my question is if I remove the SD card, should I seeing any thing? I don't see anything now even I removed m SD card...

That could have been the problem. I have read quite a few threads of people using that to launch games and after exiting a game their wii becomes completely bricked. Hopefully you have a nand backup.
I made a backup before I mod my wii, I would have to find it....
do you still charge $40 if you could not fix it?
Thanks

The only time I can not fix it is if there is a hardware issue like the BGA chip has broken solder balls or the chip somehow burned up. Out of the over 100 wii's I have fixed there have only been 2 that I could not fix and it was because they were 003 wii's without a nand backup and the owner just did not have a clue about what was wrong with them. So other than that everyone has been charged and everyones wii has been fixed.

BTW, I'm going to be doing PS3 brick repairs very shortly.
