Thanks, for your answer.

To dig deeper on starfall, preloader, bootmii, is there a better one, are they complementary or alternatives, etc.

As for the internet or weather channels, you're right to mock me, it's true that's lame. Actually, my question was more, can we reactivate wifi (online games, homebrew tied to internet, etc) without risking an involuntary update. I'm not sure my sons answer the Wii's prompts the right way.

Install bootmii and back up your nand for the best anti brick protection.
Then install preloader, turn on your Wii while pressing reset to access the preloader menu: there you'll find everything needed to protect yourself from a bad update since no more updates will be offered to you with the right settings. ;)

What? Bricking? Yes!!! By installing a faulty wad, or messing up some modification of the nand.

I don't see the connection. :shock:

There, that's already better ;) But next time don't edit your message otherwise the topic doesn't get bumped and nobody will know you edited it :ugeek: :mrgreen: Just reply.

with which game did you do this update?: give the title and the region (pal, ntsc or jap?)
In preparation for what's next, although I don't know your chip well... do you have a gamecube controller?

Do you have bootmii, preloader or starfall installed?

to make it simple I had preloader installed but it was version 4.0
I did a downgrade with waninkoko's utility then did the official update for punch out pal
black screen no sign of life from my Wii and the TV doesn't receive any signal either
I have a gamecube controller but the D2ckey doesn't support autoboot my Wii is dead it's not even a brick anymore it must be the motherboard that's dead
would the repair service work? :s

If you hold down reset when you turn on your Wii, is the preloader still working?
No bootmii or starfall installed?
No opinion from you on the motherboard.

and don't confuse autoboot and recovery mode. Anyway one thing's for sure your chip won't save you :|

I don't know what I have in it, since I'm a novice in this matter, I tried lots of things to install hbc as I was on version 4.0e it took me some time but in the end I managed to install it. what happened is that I went on hbc I refused to do the update I wanted to go back to the classic menu and there the Wii bugged, black screen, oh I forgot to say it was blinking so an update (connected to wiiconnect24) :cry:

wow wiiconnect24 does updates in the background ô.Ô without a "please do not turn off your wii" panel :62:

If you had just managed to install HBC and you have neither preloader nor bootmii. :? :cry: I think the only solution is the repair service.
You don't have a chip either? if so which one?
