You don't qualify for repair, repair is for when there is something broken like damaged screen, dust under the screen. Since you ran cfw stuff on it, they would not even bother to service it.

Factory resetting will not wipe everything. They will still see the hacked stuff in history afaik. Shouldnt have modded if you wanted to play online....

hmm...didn't think that's what he meant. lol customer service and the repair people don't have any control over people getting banned. I know it at least says something like that with sony on their website. if you're banned, there's nothing you can do. since customer service has nothing to do with it, calling them up is a waste of time. I'm sure they've gotten yelled at several times in the past for this same reason -- a banning.

    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.

    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
