black screen at startup

Post by popeye45 »

Automatically translated from French.

hello
a colleague is bringing me a wii 4.3 with a black screen on startup
I have access to priiloader and bootmii
I launch bootmii to reload the NAND but black screen
so I use matt's sciifii offline to repair my wii but nothing works
I can go into the hbc
I can even watch movies I have on my hard drive but I can't launch any games (either way it doesn't recognize my drive)
I also tried reinstalling the system menu and the region and other .wad with pimp my wii but same thing, black screen
I can't sync a wiimote or go on the internet
what can I do?

Actually everything works or almost except access to the system menu where you get a black screen.

Do you still have priiloader despite all your repair attempts?

Set all the priiloader hacks to disabled then save. Watch out, there might be 2 pages or hacks hidden further down. Go down to see them all.

If you have bootmii in boot2 (and only in boot2) use Ohneswanzenegger r106

format the nand bin file and reinstall MS 4.3 onto it then relaunch the nand reinstallation via bootmii afterward

If you're lost about using the software we can go through PM afterward

it's done but nothing changed
I think I only have one page
I don't know if with a gamecube controller you can do the same actions as with a wiimote

hello
I got 3 files created
what do I do with them?
edit: by reinstalling the new NAND (before I had a few green dots) now I have the 10 dots that won't install, the rest goes through but it's worse because I no longer have access to the HBC and when I relaunch my old NAND it does the same

edit: here's my process
1) start this program
2) click the "local cache" button and select a decent location with read/write speed and (up to) 1 GB of free space
3) Make a copy of your NAND.bin (keep the original somewhere safe)
3) Click "Search" in this program and select the copy of your NAND.bin
4) Click content> Format and format this NAND.bin
5) install titles by doing one of the following...
........ A) install a full update by typing "3.0U", "4.3j", "2.0e", or similar in the top left line and pressing "Get It"
........ B) install a single title from NUS by typing the 16-character TID in the top left line (and optionally the version number top right) and click "Get It"
........ C) Click File-> import bundles and select 1 or more. Wad installer
6) write a setting.txt (content-> setting.txt). if you choose to install a full update at step #5, then it should ask you automatically
7) re-read all the text in the output window. anything in bold is an error and can result in a broken NAND.bin.
8) Check the content of the NAND.bin even before thinking of installing it. how do I check the NAND?

re-edit: to check, I tried wii flash toolz. here's the image

what do you think?

No use Ohneswanzenegger

Put your nand.bin next to the executable (a copy of the original)
launch the exe (Ohneswanzenegger)
Search tab (select the nand.bin file)
content tab > select format
in the get it line type 4.3E or another if different region (leftmost)

Wait for the time it takes the app to download the IOS from the Nus servers (very long)

after downloading you get a setting.txt page

in code you enter the 3 letters of your Wii's Serial number LEH or LEF for PAL wiis

and in SerNo you enter the nine digits of the serial number


to check the nand you launch nand bincheck either from the command line or by dragging the nand.bin onto the exe

you shouldn't have anything in blue except Korean IOS during the check

if all's good you put your new nand on your SD with the key bin and launch the restoration


one last thing you might need to update the Shop Channel if bootmii in boot2 is on boot v4 you can launch the official update without issue bootmii won't be uninstalled if the boot is lower the update will remove it

to check the boot version it's in the info tab on the bootmii page

there's another possibility... dead bluetooth module ^^' when you still had hbc, etc... but black screen at system menu. If you never had a wiimote sync, this hypothesis is quite plausible.

I'd be very surprised

I can go into the hbc

Without wiimote impossible to move around the menus (of sciifii) unless you use a gamecube controller (and even then I don't even know if the latest ones are recognized)

if there's corruption of the saves and miis it can also cause this kind of issue hence formatting the nand bin can solve the problem but that's speculative

thanks roukxwel
I'll try again tomorrow
the gamecube controller handles the hbc and sciifii fine
you just need to know the right buttons
thanks again for your help

Oops, I was thinking about a hardware problem too, but I don't think that would give me a black screen (who knows)

Yes

if the Bluetooth or Wifi module is dead (which is very rare for the latter) black screen at startup looks like a banner brick but it's not a banner brick

If you have a wiimote sync issue in HBC or another homebrew you should rather look at the module side as Oops told you

it's not hard to change and costs max 15 euros

If you can borrow another wii you could test swapping the modules.

thanks for your replies
I'll try to find a dead wii to recover the Bluetooth module and while at it the wifi
I'll keep you posted as soon as I find one
worst case if my colleague wants to buy one it'll go faster
