Hacking Wii black screen on startup

[homigura]

Hello there. So, this is what happened:

- I decided to play my old wii (v4.1)
- Everything was doing ok, except for Mario Power Tennis (gave me black screen everytime) , and I saw somewhere on the internet that the game required to be launched with IOS222.
- I entered USB Loader GX, went to mptennis , and I selected "ios 222' in launch options or however it's called.
- Now Wii gives me a blackscreen upon startup, and won't connect to any wiimote. I can turn on the console using the power button on the wiimote,but afterwards it won't connect.
- All i know about this wii is that it is on 4.1 , and i was using USBLoader GX. I don't have any NAND backups or so.
- I tried:
>turning it on and right after pushing the power button i held the reset button : nothing happened.
>turning it on without usb stick / without sdcard / without both / with both : nothing happened.

I don't have any disc games here, because i started playing backups from usb as soon as i knew that the optical drive on this wii was broken/faulty.
I don't have a GC Controller either.

I don't really think that it is permanently bricked just because i decided to use that IOS(222). I mean, i wasn't trying to install anything, just trying to run a game.


Please,can someone help? Many thanks in advance.

Try remove the power cable for 5min and reconnect... Sometimes it works

 

[homigura]

Tried it... did not work :/

 

[tozevleal]

Let me see...
Dvd slot brocken
Priloader-not installed
Bootmii-if installed try boot with SDcard files
No gcn controller


Well the only thing you have is bootmii

 

[homigura]

Bootmii-if installed try boot with SDcard files

how can i do that?

 

[tozevleal]

Well go to the bootmii website extract the files to your sdcard and try turnon your wii... If you intalled bootmii via boot2 you can fix your wii

I tried that.... Nothing happened. Do i need to press some button or something else?

 

[tozevleal]

Nope! It should boot automaticaly... Well the best solution is pic a gcn controller and make a system update

 

[homigura]

Do you think that it could work (gc controller thing) even if after trying all those stuff i had no success?

 

[tozevleal]

Wait... The gc thing requires a working dvd reader...
Conclusion: you got hard brick and its (almost) impossible to unbrick it!

when did you mod this? Did you make a nand backup? Do you have it? Ios 222 won;t brick the Wii so something else was done. Is priiloader installed? Priiloader can take a second to initiate, when you power down hold rest and press power and continue holding rest for a few seconds (do 10 to be safe) what happens? If you are still getting black screens you will need the update through recovery menu using a GCN controller(savemii frii)

OOPS savemii frii need disc like the post says.hmmm

Maybe you can swap another wiis dvd drive just to unbrick? youll beed a tri-wing screwdriver but its very easy.

maybe but I think you can get a new wii about the same price.

Just goes to show bootmii and priiloader are a must

Well, i remembered something else : The same post said that i would need to turn ocarina on and off in order to use mptennis , and i did so, but i didn't had the file, so i connected the wii to the internet and downloaded it via USB LOADER GX. Game didn't run, i restarted wii and everything was working.
Afterwards, i was just thinking about what could i do and i entered the 'theme' section on Usb Loader GX. i saw like 8 themes, i didn't download any,just saw them on the catalog. I pressed + to go right and - to go left on the catalog. When it reached the first theme pages , i clicked - again and it gave me an black screen with some stuff written...
Restarted my wii, and everything worked normally. now, then i changed the 'launch with ios 222' thing, the game did not run and when i restarted it ,i got my actual state: Black screen, controllers won't connect.

I tried putting bootmii on the sd, powering up and holding reset button, hold reset button and press power button.... Nothing seems to work.

 

[tozevleal]
