I...think I was one of those guys at one such occasion. Can't speak on behalf of the others, but I can say that I'm sorry if I gave you the impression of disapproval. I had my doubts about things, but you responded with proper arguments.DeadlyFoez said:

I'm performing right now though. I'll try that other program as well! I really thought it was the end of the line for my poor Wii, but I see a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel! Thanks again,but please know that this topic is NOT closed! Please wait until I get back to ya'll with my results after I try these recommended methods 2 days from now! Thanks!

Did you have any luck?
Yeah, I would only ever recommend removing bootmii from boot2 if and only if someone wanted to virginize. But no matter what, after making the nand.bin you MUST run it through punes nandbinchecker app. Of course nothing is %100, but I have enough faith in punes app that if someone does end up getting a full brick after using his app then I would do the repair for free as long as the person can provide me with their dumped nand.bin and the built nand.bin, of course the person would still have to pay shipping.Wever said:
You know I'm not 100% but I'm pretty certain I've ran a wii with no dvd drive and no problems at some point over the past few years. Like I say, can't remember 100% but I'm pretty sure I did this and it worked fine. I think I was just curious at the time how it would act.mauifrog said:

LOL, you got there before I thought about it and now I've edited the post, I THINK I did it, can't be 100% certain though.bazamuffin said:
No you did not. The wii will not load dvds, will not load channels, will not load usb games without a dvd drive.Donkey Plonk said:
That is COMPLETELY false. The wii that I have for my family has the DVD drive completely removed, and it has been like that for well over a year now and it does not give me a single issue. All games load fine. The SM loads fine. All channels load fine. The wii continues to work as if it did have a drive in it, but it does not have one. No issues at all.mauifrog said:
Well the wii I have, if you remove the DVD drive, nothing works. All the wii channels give disc read error, USB loading gives disc read error. It is a newer wii, I will test with my older wii tonightDeadlyFoez said:
OK, I just got home from work, ripped the dvd drive out of the wii. Guess what happend? Nothing works, most channels and usb games load to disc read error.DeadlyFoez said:
How old is your wii? What SM is it on? Those things might be what is making the difference. But there certainly is no bullshit here. I had to take the drive out of my kids wii when I accidently busted the drive on my tech wii. Its been running for well over a year now without a drive. It's mostly boots straight into wiiflow, but like today I went into the SM so I could launch a wiiware game and it worked without a hitch.mauifrog said:
