Not sure if this question is in the right spot but.....
Wondering if I have a 'brick' Have been running soft modded wii since december with no issues, used twilight hack, downgraded, installed starfall patches etc..
Machine is rarely turned off completely, Tv is just switched to regular input. Went to use it yesterday and it was frozen on the channels screen, no music, no control availabe. So I unplugged power and tried again, now I have nothing at all on the screen. The console itself will power on (got the green light), accept and eject a disc (got the blue lights), but just a black screen on the TV..I have checked and rechecked the hookup, tried it on another TV and tried it with a new set of AV cables. Still nothing..the remotes will not sync with the console, just get 4 flashing lights for a few seconds...
So I am wondering is this a type of brick? or just a "normal" hardware malfunction, are there any DIY repairs, it seems like all of the solutions for 'un-bricking' require at least something to appear on the screen..
I have called Nintendo and prepared to send it in for repair, just wondering how they will treat it?? They will be able to see the HBC and backup loader , and I'm sure there is some wiiware on there that is of questionable origin...does anyone have experience with a repair on a modded wii..I'm assuming worst case is they void my warranty and make me pay for repairs??
Any input would be appreciated..
