I pulled out my Wii yesterday after years of it sitting around and collecting dust, and I was trying to update hacks on it.
I tried looking into hacks updates and I found out that there was a new Wii update, but you couldn't update to it if your console was modded, so I looked up how to remove hacks from my Wii. I followed a sthetix tutorial on how to do so, I dumped the NAND, then I used Ohneswanzenegger to generate a clean NAND, and then I used BootMii to restore it. However, when tried to restore it, it said I needed BootMii on boot2 or else my console could be bricked, so I spent a while looking for that, but I couldn't ever find out how. Then I just risked it all and entered in the konami code with a GC controller and restored it that way.
Once it was done, I restarted the Wii and set it up and connected it to the Internet. It asked me if I wanted to enable WiiConnect24 and the Wii Shop, I said yes and confirmed the legal stuff and then it asked if I wanted to go to the shop, I said yes and there was just a black screen. I waited for a minute and then turned off the Wii. I tried opening the Shop back up but then after a few seconds of a black screen, I think I got an error saying something along the lines of "An error occurred, please eject the disc or turn off your console. If the issue persists, please go to support.nintendo.com." or something like that.
Now that I thought about it, I could never access the Wii Shop or Mii Maker without getting this screen, even when it had hacks. I know the Wii Shop is closed, but this error has been happening even before they said they would close it down. My disc drive does not work, I think I stuck a paper disc in there when I was 3 or something, idk if that broke it or what, but the drive is just not working, idk if that connects to Mii Maker and Wii Shop not working.
My Wii is an RVL-001, also I'm not sure how it was exploited because it's been modded for years and I'm a complete Wii h4xx0r noob. Also sorry for kind of long and useless information.
Also here is what the message looked like:
