Hi,
I've come across you all from googling for the last hour, and I keep coming back to this forum, so I'm guessing you guys are in the know.
Firstly, before you berate me more than I have done myself - I'm a girl...... that should pretty much sum up everything for you
Basically, I tried to play Sonic Colours the other day, but it wouldn't work, and after getting a replacement, that wouldn't work either, so I decided that as my Wii hadn't connected to an Internet for a much needed update since ohhhhhh, January 2009?? (I know, I know!) I brought it to my parents to try to connect to their wireless.
Wouldn't connect to the wireless, so the idiotic witch inside me thought, "I know, lets format the wii system memory and get rid of ALL previous connection settings" yes, I know you want to stop reading and throw the laptop at me, but please carry on....
It said along the lines of yada yada yada, "your wii will now shut down" which it did... trouble is it never came back again. I get a black screen, which I think is the pre-loader? It says home brew channel (which yes, I always thought was to do with making your own beer when it was on the screen.... sorry!) I've come across some previous posts about boot.dol and Wii scrubber and Wii system manager, and tried one of these how to's here http://gbatemp.net/t146005-wii-system-menu...eared?&st=0 because thats what mine shows, but I can't make it work. Yes, I've downloaded wii-scrubber and I might as well be talking to a little man in Japan......
Does anyone have a simplistic 'woman version' of how I can fix it, or is it just a case of finding a local shop that can fix it?
I hope I've at least given everyone a laugh. Next time I think of what to do with my kids, I'll just go in the kitchen and make a bloody huge floury mess of everything.
Any help appreciated, even if it's just telling me where to send it to be fixed - or just chuck it and buy an XBox kinect......
Thanks!
Steph
