Finally got back to working on the wii again with my busy schedule. I was able to pick up a gamecube controller and sucessfully got the black screen with the version number in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. I am doing all the reading that I can, but am I going to need a modchip in order to be able to do anything from this point forward now? It seems alot of the savemii frii tutorials are used if the system has been hacked before, which I am to believe that this system has not before.

Before you attempt anything else, replace the wii's internal battery with a new one and see if it makes any difference. The battery is the same as a regular PC's CMOS battery, coin-shaped lithium based commonly known as CR-2032. It's accessible by removing a small screw (using a regular phillips head screwdriver) near one of the rubber feet.

Trying a new battery did not change the outcome of my trouble. Still experiencing the same issue.

When using a Gamecube controller and entering the recovery mode, I get to the black screen with 4.1(USA) listed in the bottom right corner. I am attempting to update the firmware to 4.3U, but have not had any success yet. I have inserted various wii game discs into the wii after getting to this screen and the disc just spins and the screen goes completely black. Any ideas on how to update the firmware?

Just in case you're lucky enough to to have the right thing installed, unpack these files into your SD card and see if starting the Wii up with the SD card in the drive makes any difference.

The console boots so not all is lost - if you use the SaveMiiFrii combo (all four directions on the Gamecube controller as the console boots), you'll be able to Autoboot an exploitable game and save the console. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the prefered choice since the exploit requires no prior installation and can be launched from the SD Slot - you will need an original game disc though.

With the flash card having those folders, channels were saved to the flash and who knows, the previous owner may have wiped system channels.

You bought it for parts, you accomplished your goal! You have a drive, power unit, housing, and etc.. just no system board

With that being stated, what parts did your other one need to work?
