Hardware Wii shows no signal

[Asaulin]

Hi, so basically i've reconnected my wii but when i open it, it shows no signal and i hear no sounds on my wii. I was wondering if my wii is bricked

What do you mean with "open" it? Opening the console in the sense of removing screws?

Basic process of elimination:

• Remove all peripherals (GC controllers + Memory Cards, SD card, disc, USB devices)
• Try different AV cables and power adapter on your Wii
• Try your cables on a working Wii
• Try a different TV

When you have ruled out everything around (AV cable, power adapter, TV all good) it must be a problem with the console. In case the Wii is softmodded proceed with:

• Try accessing Priiloader by holding (Reset) on power on
• Provide an SD containing the BootMii files for trying to get BootMii running if installed in boot2

==========
Can you turn on the Wii with the remote? Does the remote sync/stay active?

By opening the console i mean powering it on. I've tried my cables into my other wii and my other wii works fine. Tried another TV and still doesn't work. Tried syncing with a Wii remote and it doesn't work and tried accessing Priiloader doesn't work

Savemiifrii autobooting a disc may be the only potential software solution I can think of

Is there a tutorial on how to do that?

Software part (hardware has to be okay for this to work, at least parts of the software as well):

Is there a tutorial on how to do that?

Disassemble a GC controller, plug it into port 4 and hold all directions on the dpad at once. Then power on. It should show the version number on screen. If you have a really bad third-party GC controller, it might be possible to push all directions without disassembling it.
This will try to install an update (if any) from disc and depending on hardware(modchip) and software you might be able to start something from DVD-R (don't know what and how).


Hardware part:

The next question is if you did anything in software before that problem occurred? For the case: "I put it away in working condition, nobody touched it, but it is not working now." my guess is hardware failure. The Wii consoles are aging so we can sadly expect some fails.

If you have a remote already synced to the "no signal"-console try turning it on with the remote. Happy reading this thread (one possibility what might have happened on hardware side):

I was able to turn on my wii with the remote.

I was able to turn on my wii with the remote.

So the situation is exactly like in the thread I linked above. If software method (SaveMiiFrii) don't do anything you should at least measure the voltage regulator. It would be nice to know if this problem is gonna spread.

Yeah, i will let you know if SaveMiiFrii works. Thank you

is there a tutorial for the sd containing a bootmii??

Here

Or enter BSD on modmii classic's download page 2 to queue it for download, then D, then Y

Edit: if bootmii boot2 is installed the on the wii, it will launch if sd:/bootmii is detected when the wii is powering up

I need priiloader to do this right? cause i cant boot priiloader although I did boot it once and played wii sports for a bit and it suddenly lost signal then after that I couldn't boot priiloader anymore.

If u are fortunate enough to have bootmii installed to boot2, this will work even without priiloader
