Hacking Wii Takes a While to Turn On

[rapol]

damn i didn't even notice that (prolly because i dont have speaker on the PC i am using now, and couldn't hear u talking in the video). If you're wii is not turning on properly, just reinstall your system menu IOS (do this FIRST), then reinstall your system menu. This will uninstall priiloader, so u will need to reinstall it again afterwards

but yeah, b4 doing any of that make sure u can get to bootmii (follow my instructions in my last post), and make a nand backup.

Used the guide you sent me in a private message to take my wii back to being unhacked. Then re did all the hacking again, and it still will not turn on at first(still takes a few times before it goes to the system menu), and it still goes to a black screen the first few times.

Not really sure what is wrong with it then since it is doing it even after I redid everything

Once you un-hacked it, was it behaving normally until you re-hacked it? Priiloader and Bootmii are the typical cause of those issues.

Bootmii as boot2 causes a long delay if the SD is incompatible. My 2GB Transcend card causes this on my wii.

Try uninstalling Priiloader with the Priiloader installer, then take the SD out. If it boots normally, one of them is your issue. If it continues to act up...not sure what's up with it.

I'll give it a go today, I'll come back and let you know if this worked

Looks to me like you've got bootmii installed as boot2, and it doesn't like your SD card. Try booting without the card in and see if it still takes ages or if it always boots normally.

Yes exactly, I had the same issue and started trouble shooting it and found out this was the problem.
