Right so my Wii is not working at all, I start it like I do every day and it's just black... the TV doesn't even flicker and no WiiMotes can connect either.
Last time I used my Wii I just played my normal games I play every day (Not sure which one but I haven't gotten any new games in a long time)
I get complete darkness on the TV... I've tried holding down the reset button to get into PriiLoader but that doesn't seem to work and I'm not quite sure what to do or what "guide" to follow as they're all different to my problem...
like the "Screen goes to black after Health Screen" guide, I don't even get a Health Screen!

I've randomly tested starting with and without a DVD/MMC card with no change at all, always stays completely dark.
So... any idea on what the problem might be or what to do? :/

Can you turn on the wii using the wiimote power button?

Yep, but the Wiimotes don't stay connected to the Wii...
Also, I've noticed that my GC controller has special screws on it (official GC controller) that I can't get open x_X

Were you able to install bootmii into boot2? Did you ever make a nand backup? When did you buy your wii? What was the last thing you did to it? Could anyone else have fucked with it without you knowing?

You can try looking at the thread in my sig, but I doubt it will be any bit useful because you already confirmed that you can't get into priiloader.

Were you able to install bootmii into boot2?: Yes
Did you ever make a nand backup?: Yes
When did you buy your wii?: When it was just released
What was the last thing you did to it?: Just playing games and then shut it down and went to bed x3
Could anyone else have fucked with it without you knowing?: No... Well I guess a ninja could have gotten into my apartment while I was sleeping and f-ed up my Wii

Do you have access to another wii? Do you have the bootmii files on your sd card?

You may need to also check the boot.ini file (if you already do have bootmii files on your SD card) and check to see what it is set to autoboot and make sure to delay is set to 5. Lets see if we can get bootmii working.

I'm afraid I don't have access to another Wii.
I have NEVER used BootMii except for when following a SoftMod guide ages ago so I have no idea how it works, I can tell you this though... I have no BootMii files whatsoever on my SD card, no boot.ini either. :/
 
If you have bootmii installed as boot2 get the bootmii files from here.Now if bootmii doesnt show up when you boot your wii then you could try savemiifrii but if that doesnt work then i believe your bricked.

Try pressing the 4 control pad buttons down at the same time - third party controller

Open up your controller and press all four buttons down - Official GC controller.

If a 4.1 icon shows up, put SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2 retail disc into your wii and let it update.
 
Doesn't seem to work AT ALL. :/
I'll try to get a hold of a third party GC controller or something, cause the one I have is impossible to open. :S

"put SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2 retail disc into your wii" I don't have SMG2, isn't there any other game that would work?
 
Also note that if you didn't mess with that wii lately (installing / uninstalling ios, dangerous stuff) there's a big possibility that it's caused by the bluetooth module (broken, misplaced or so on)

I would agree with this, does the wii-gate blinker by startup?
 
Those modules either work or don't work. I've never seen a partially-failed one. If he can turn the wii on using the remote, the module likely isn't dead.
