Wii is turned up but shows black screen

[torn tide]

So after I've downloaded wads and made the wii theme dark, and existed from the HBC and it just sat on a black screen, please help asap

[shrewd salmon]

Does priiloader boot

[torn tide]

Yes

It shows up

[shrewd salmon]

Go to HBC

Does the network thingy blink

Or do your Wii remotes not sync

[shrewd salmon]

Also what wads did you install

[torn tide]

I've installed the 224 one and some that appear on the menu like USBCFG And GX And I think EUROPE wads like check mii out and everybody votes and my friend just told me that I have a USA console(it's 4.3U)

Alright I'm in the homebrew channel now what?

[shrewd salmon]

Why did you install 224

[torn tide]

I have games that Require the 224IOS file

[shrewd salmon]

There shouldn’t be any games that require iOS 224

[torn tide]

There are some

[shrewd salmon]

Which ones

iOS 224 is an outdated cios slot and is defunct

[shrewd salmon]

Also was region free everything enabled when you installed the incorrect region wads

[torn tide]

Idk

In thw progress of it I didn't know what was it

But thw HBC is now on

[shrewd salmon]

Okay so just uninstall all the wads you just installed

[torn tide]

Wait how?

[shrewd salmon]

Wii mod lite

In homebrew channel

[torn tide]

So the dlcs and the custom wii channels and the 224?

[shrewd salmon]

Dlcs are probs fine tbh

[torn tide]

So the channels

[shrewd salmon]

Yeah

[torn tide]

And the 224 file

[shrewd salmon]

Yeah

[torn tide]

What button to press so I can uninstall them I've marked them btw

[shrewd salmon]

When you select them just select uninstall

[torn tide]

Wait

So wad manager right?

[shrewd salmon]

Yes, you should be using Wii mod lite as your wad manager

[torn tide]

Alright

Everything I've downloaded has been deleted

Now what

So do I return to the system menu

[shrewd salmon]

Yeah see if you still have a black screen

[torn tide]

It freezes

[shrewd salmon]

???

Show me

[torn tide]

And it said down below operation failed

[shrewd salmon]

Take a picture

[torn tide]

As you can see on the bottom right

[shrewd salmon]

Those are folders?

Open the WAD folder

[torn tide]

OK give me a sec

Like I said it froze I can't click anything

[shrewd salmon]

wat

Okay

Just restart the Wii

[torn tide]

I'm in priiloader

Do I go to wiiMod

[shrewd salmon]

Yeah but could you check if the wifi symbol in the corner blinks in Homebrew channel or if it establishes a connection to the internet

[torn tide]

The WiFi icon shows but no signals and I think I've mistakenly clicked on the RCP

[shrewd salmon]

It could just be that the wifi module went out…

[torn tide]

?

[shrewd salmon]

Which would explain the freezing

[torn tide]

Wdym by the modcule

[shrewd salmon]

If for some reason the Wiis wifi module, Bluetooth module, or disc drive fail, the Wii will brick itself

[shrewd salmon]

The piece of hard ware inside your Wii that lets it connect to the internet

[torn tide]

Oooh

So now I'll have to format the wii or something?

[shrewd salmon]

The only fix: replace it

[torn tide]

Replace the wii?

[shrewd salmon]

How is that a solution to a hardware problem

[torn tide]

Idk

[shrewd salmon]

No just the wifi module

You will have to open it up

[torn tide]

Oh damn

[torn tide]

I don't understand Like THE WII?

[shrewd salmon]

Yes. You need to buy a replacement wifi module for the Wii, open the Wii up, take the old wifi module out, and put in the new one

[torn tide]

Oh... well I'm screwed

[shrewd salmon]

There’s probably a youtube tutorial somewhere

It’s not hard

[torn tide]

I can't buy a WiFi modcule

[shrewd salmon]

I don’t even think there’s soldering involved if I remember correctly

[torn tide]

Neither can't find it

[shrewd salmon]

Why not

[torn tide]

Can't find one neither have money for it I'm basically screwed

[shrewd salmon]

Found one https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Module-Nintend-Replacement/dp/B095JLYXJB/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=26DHOPZ2WG0EY&keywords=wii+wifi+module&qid=1677405328&sprefix=wii+wifi+module%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-2

They are $8

[torn tide]

We dont live in the same countries

And I can't buy one

[shrewd salmon]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002971090885.html

Well good luck with that then

[torn tide]

I can't try to buy that

Can*

But the thing is how tf am I going to like

Replace it

Is there a way to unbrick the wii?

Like format it or some

Well atleast it actually can enter Any other channel than the wii system menu sadly

[blissful matrix]

Do you have bootmii installed as boot 2? I bricked my main Wii but since there was bootmii as boot 2, I could download and execute an app called Comex's Wii nand formatter. That helped re-installing the Wii menu and un-brick my console

[torn tide]

Idk I can tell between them bc I don't know abt the wii tha much

Cant*

[blissful matrix]

Just if your sd card that you used to install those wad. You should be able to start straight into bootmii. Do you have the bootmii option on the homebrew channel?

[torn tide]

I can only do thw priiloader channel than go to the hbc

[shrewd salmon]

You have to replace the wifi chip, that’s why the Wii doesn’t work. It’s a hardware failure not a software failure

[blissful matrix]

No need. I screwed up my Wii once and I unbricked it without opening it.

[blissful matrix]

However if he has no access to bootmii. Then yes he must do something like that

[blissful matrix]

On the homebrew channel, on the main menu, have you pressed the home button? Then you should see 5 different options.

[shrewd salmon]

Dawg, I’m trying to tell him the wifi card failed and the Wii won’t display the menu without it

He didn’t brick it himself

[blissful matrix]

I never said you were wrong

[shrewd salmon]

It’s genuinely old age

[blissful matrix]

There is also this posibility

[shrewd salmon]

There’s not a software way to fix the wifi chip because it is a HARDWARE failure

[blissful matrix]

But I'm not sure if he can fix It by himself. He just should get another wii

Instead

[shrewd salmon]

You could also do that.

But why would you do that when it’s an easy fix and doesn’t cost that much

[torn tide]

I fixed thw problem

IT turned out from wrong region mymeinufy

It was bricked from the my menufiy

I fixed it

With a help of a bestie

[shrewd salmon]

Oh… right you did mention the theme…

I completely skipped over that
