Hardware Wii showing a black screen, no sound

[tytanium654]

Basically, I got a free junk wii from a dude. It doesn't show audio or video. The USB ports work, the fan spins, the console accepts and spits out discs, and the LEDs are functional. The only av cable I got is the Wii2HDMI thing. This is pretty much the only forum I could find relating to Wii hardware so yeah.

If you need pics or video I can supply you with that.

Oh, and I tried a 1080p projector and a 4k monitor. The reset button is stuck but the housing is somewhat damaged so I could move the front of the console away from the rest of it using my hand, but that didn't make a difference so it's not that.

No idea if it's modded.

Process of elimination. Try:

• Another Wii with the same Wii2HDMI and HDMI cable
• Another AV cable, analogue
• Syncing a Wii Remote (for the case that it actually starts but doesn't show output)

Please provide a picture of the (Reset) button/front panel. I didn't really understand this.

The next question is, if another cable doesn't help:
Does it give no signal (like in TV says "No signal") or a black screen (TV gets a signal, but it is all black)?

Wii not showing anything can have multiple causes:

• Bad Bluetooth module
• Bad WiFi module
• Some defect on mainboard
• Software brick (various possible causes) → Try holding in the (Reset) button on power on to see if Priiloader is installed.

I don't have another Wii. Also I'll try syncing a wiimote to it. There wasn't anything happening when I plugged in a GameCube controller. It gives a black screen no matter the monitor. Oh, and how do you attach files to posts?​

Found the attach button. I'll see if priiloader is installed, but the reset button is jammed. That's why I would need to move the front panel like I did in the image below in order to press the part that the button usually presses, if that makes sense.
