Hardware Wii SD Slot works but doesn't read

[DarkoMoDs]

If i insert a Samsung FAT32 Formatted SD Card it will show me in the Home Menu that it's inserted but If i try to copy a channel or See the content it says "The device inserted in THW SD Card slot cannot be used." i tried to use other SD Card's but it still doesn't work

Look inside the card reader. Maybe there is some dirt or bent pin(s). Detecting an inserted card is not the same as being able to access the card. This Wii card reader seems to have a switch or something like that inside.
If you put a micro-SD adapter into the Wii without any actual card, you get the exact same result. It “detects” something and says it can’t be used (because there is nothing at all connected; the adapter is just passive).

Sadly this kind of “detection” does not say if your reader is still working. Same message for corrupted card, wrong filesystem and SD-shaped object with no electronic function.

Repairing that is hard (in my opinion). As far as I know you would have to do some micro soldering.
What are you trying to do? If it is about installing Homebrew, this is possible without SD.

If you can't revive/replace the reader, you can put apps for the Homebrew Channel on a FAT32 formatted USB drive just like on the SD.
Most things should work. The only thing you can't do is NAND-backup/restore with bootmii. Priiloader maybe installable/usable as protection against soft-bricks.
