Hacking Wii black screen on startup

[Sky Design]

Well unless you know your Wii had Bootmii2 on it, then it sounds like you need a new console or nand chip based on the thread. I just googled it hopefully finding an answer and that is all I found.
If you're certain you have bootmii installed, then I'd try everything to get it to work via SD Card. I mean I know it's kinda shitty but you can always get a cheap Wii. At least in America, not really sure from your country. I got mine for about 70$? Because it was one of the first old white models and wasn't badly damaged, from gamestop.

I've seen them go as low as 40$ on Amazon, not sure about eBay or anything but all you need is a console so it'll be alot cheaper.

This is why you should install Priiloader.

Take your Wii apart, get a new and working disk drive.

Then try getting hold of a GameCube controller, taking it apart, and hold all four of the d-pad directions at once for a few seconds; a screen should pop up that says your version.

Then insert a recovery disc of some kind; for example, a disc with some homebrew on it to try and see what has happened.

Even if i don't have priiloader i'll be able to do it with the gamecube controller thingy ? I'm not sure if i have it installed..... What files should i put on the disc? 466MinecraftFan

Yes, you can use SaveMiiFrii (the "GameCube controller thingy") without Priiloader. As for the disc to put in, I suggest putting a disc in with an update to 4.3 included (like New Super Mario Bros Wii).

Or, your Bluetooth module may be broken, which causes a black screen.

I think this is the problem!

I'm pretty sure that it is not, since i can turn the console on using the wiimote....

Do you know where i can get a 4.1 nand backup to download? I mean, i managed to access bootmii, but wii system and hbc won't load . Tried to enter a menu to reinstall hbc ( 3rd option in bootmii , the one with SD CARD ) and booting bootmini.elf . All i got was a greenish screen, nothing happened.
In some video on youtube a guy shares his 4.3U Nand backup along with a tutorial, and someone is helping me, he said that he recovered like 2 wii's with that tutorial, using this nand backup, even tho it's not his...
So, i think i have a chance if i have a 4.1 nand backup ... Any ideas where i can download one?Maybe someone could share one?
thanks again ....

You need your keys.bin file.

If you have that, you can download Ohneschwanzenegger from here: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Ohneschwanzenegger

Ohneschwanzenegger generates a nand.bin for you to use.

I would recommend on waiting for someone who knows how to fix this. From everything I've gathered if you can get into Bootmii you can save the system without all the other stuff. Thats from what I've read but I honestly don't know. I mean my softmod was super smooth, my main issue was looking at too many guides and it kinda got me confused.
But yes the keys.bin is a must, it's what the Wii needs if you encounter a serious brick or you just royally screw up your system.

How do i get the keys.bin?I managed to get the nand.bin ....

The keys are the most important part... why do you not have your keys? BootMii backs up both your nand.bin and your keys.bin.

Nevermind, just found it. Can i generate a new NAND with that?

Just use Ohneschwanzenegger to create a nand.bin, then use BootMii Recovery to restore your nand.bin and keys.bin files.

Sorry, I can't.

Ok, i'm following the steps on ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/ohneswanzenegger-wii-entry-pc-software.279750/ ) .
I selected local cache, copied my nand,formatted the copy , and put in 4.1u in the box and pressed "get It!". I don't really get where should i use/locate the 'keys.bin' file , since,as you said, it is needed right? What can i do now?

You need keys.bin when you are recovering your system with BootMii. Otherwise, it'll say that your files are from another Wii.

Just leave it. keys.bin is the one that makes sure your the files are from the original Wii. It doesn't matter what you stuff on nand.bin, because it still works on other Wiis.
