A friend of mine has a modded wii, but their child has updated somehow to 4.3e ... but since the update the disk drive has stopped reading any disks, even originals I cant remod it as the the disk drive cant read lego batman I dont think she has a nand backup as it was modded a while back by somebody she is no longer in contact with I have not personally seen the wii yet, so cant give any more details do you have any Ideas how I can fix this for her?, or anything else I can check when I get my hands on it?
You could try cleaning the lens. If that doesn't work replace the drive. Or install a modchip with usb-loading capabilities.
If it was modded via DarkCorps/cIOScorps would the max'd out cIOS's remain after an update or would they get erased and replaced with correct IOS versions? Always meant to ask this as I didn't know if the update "checked" for version numbers and only replaced IF the version in exisiting setup is lower than the one contained in the update. If what Im saying is true, could this be part of the problem? Just throwing an idea out there EDIT: If it wasn't modded via DarkCorps/cIOScorps then the mod would probably have been with Neogamma (or similar) in which case the channel forwarder should have survived and a boot.dol can be ran to re-mod, no?
In my experience as corps maxed out the relevant CIOS disc loading ability should be able to continue, however i have only seen this on 4.1 to 4.2, ive not had the experience of it happening to 4.3.
Do any of the Corps require a patched menu IOS to function? If so, a clean menu IOS (IOS80) will have been installed. Hope you see my logic Never really used them, sorry for sounding pesky, but Im trying to use this as a learning curve so I can hopefully advise.
I've just spoken to her on the phone, her son said it has a 'wiikey' fitted, I have no experience of modchips can installing 4.3e on a 'wiikey' chipped Wii stop the disk drive from working?
