Hacking I have a really funny bug

[robiul]

Ok last night I was using the wii, this morning I'm getting a black screen with 4.2.
I cios rev 17 installed and mios and everything was ok yesterday.
What could be the problem?

Black screen on what? I expect in general; before anything happens.
Check the cables first.

He says it's got 4.2 in the corner, meaning it's the "recovery menu" showing up for some reason or another. It could be a preloader hack you installed, or just random happenstance. I've had it randomly load on my Wii a few times, but resetting always took care of that.

EDIT: Or at least that's what I gather has happened since he said "black screen with 4.2," anyway.

no no I got system menu 4.2, last night I was playing with it then this morning I'm getting a black screen even it feels like a full brick except I didn't mess around with anything and I can boot into homebrew channel/priiloader via power/reset buttons through bootmii in the dark.

Oh yeah and I'm using a vga cable

ok maybe it's your VGA box the problem.
My crappy one (XCM) doesen't support NTSC nor PAL but only "EDTV/HDTV" (and higher resolution but Wii doesn't support anything higher). so if my wii is configured to be PAL I just got a blackscreen on my computer screen.
Check your connection, cable, resolution mode, and so on

I think the bluetooth adaptor may have come out

 

[robiul]

Guys if the bluetooth is loose does the video go? and does bootmii work?

Ok so I manage to access the hbc through priiloader and I tried to run a game through softchip, only the screen goes black after that green flash when you try to play a backup.

 

[robiul]

help guys

 

[cobleman]

If you can get to HBC try installing ios70 again with dopios mod

 

[happydance]

if bluetooth is broken, bootmii can still work. tried it first hand.

but you can't do much since bluetooth is broken

From the thread topic I thought this was going to be about a VD.

VD isn't funny

Try turning off all of your preloader hacks.

Did you try installing IOS70 like someone said?

DO NOT do a system update / safe updater as there's a good chance that'll kill preloader and then you're in a worse state than you're in now.

Restore a bootmii backup?
