i did some research... the downgrade does not result in a brick, but it leaves your wii in a very vulnerable state because from what i read it leaves a stub from the last menu and if you do a disc upgrade to 3.4... your wii is bricked. I sent mine in to nintendo and they couldn't detect homebrew so if this happens to you SENT IT IN!!! THEY CANNOT DETECT HOMEBREW!!!
if you haven’t whenever it loads at least better, install the home brew channel, bootmii, and priiloader not to look funny or do crazy stuff, just a layer of brick protection
the black screen is mainly hardware issue, alot of the times is caused by the power pack, wii preloader will only screw up your wii if you do not doo it right and correctly understand everything, simple really.
@AaronPr19 Umm..... If it's bricked like this then they have to replace the wii's internal memory. The only surefire way to know if your wii is bricked in that way is if you try to boot recovery mode. Look up how to do it but if you can't boot recovery mode then they won't be able to detect it. Keep in mind that when you send it in though they will automatically replace your disc drive so you can't play backups from disc and they will give you the latest system menu.
@mistask8a Did you try to put on another theme that wasn't the original? I tried and got bricked xD tried to put wii dark theme on a white wii xD (FAYUL!)
Hey guys just to let you know, I was able to fix this problem by sending it to Nintendo. because of teh nature of the problem they were not able to see that I had homebrew on it and they did not charge me! So if you have this problem chances are you are probably safe to send it to Nintendo.
@darkstylezvideo do they restore your hardrive? cause I want them to but im afraid if they do then they'll end up finding the homebrew and charge me =S
@Wiimaster206 YES CORRECT, I tried to uninstall priiloader but my wii could't, I don't why? So yeah, I got my third wii heheh, and hacked again but I only installed wad manager and the original non-injected, and did an update using Wii Party and it worked, IT DID NOT BRICK MY WII SO HAPPY. YOUR WII WILL BRICK AFTER UPDATE AFTER its code has been changed such as installing Priiloader, cause it changes the way your wii works.
My Wii also had the black screen but before that happens, when I tried to turn my Wii power on, the green light did not show up and I had to hold the button, causing the blue light on the disk slot flickering until the green light on the power shows up. Does it means my Wii is spoiled or is it bricked?
@sm64no1LOL i can't say no for sure but i also can't say yes for sure either because they will turn on ur wii and they normally look through it and right when u turn on ur wii u'll see the homebrew channel and that's when they will stop and send it right back to u and say they can't do anything because u voided the warrantee. i'm not 100% on that but normally that's how it goes
I honestly don't think I ever tried that. I'm sorry I can't be of more use, but even if the wii motes can turn it on, I think the problem lies somewhere in boot up, not in the powering on of the wii.
I had a different black screen problem that may help some people. Turns out I installed a wad on to the Wii HD without any free blocks available. When I restarted the Wii, I got the health and safety message, then the screen went black at the system menu. What I did was launch Priiloader and lauched the wad manager and uninstalled the wad. It works now.
@YoshiLikesFruit i got a half brick wii and now a can't get the settings menu, but, all just for install the blackwii theme, i recommend not try to install any theme, i use to had a full functional wii before getting themes, if you need help or wanna know what u need to play some wii games just ask me and i will tell all u need to know, i got a 4.3u system and works so good, and, who needs the setting menu anyway?
@darkstylezvideo he said he was able to fix it by sending it to nintendo, who didn't know there was homebrew on it, and he got a new wii...why would he need a new wii if nintendo fixed his? Im just saying, he said nintendo fixed it,and he got a new wii...so why would he get a new wii if the problem was fixed?
hey ive got a similar problem but I dont get a black screen until after I press A when it gives you the health warning message, do you think if I send it to nintendo they won't notice the homebrew or anything else or do you think you just got kinda lucky?
@PLatinum9inkc What no-solder chip did you request? was it savemii or something else? I've done the same thing on CL and i'm hoping someone is wiling to assist me too.
same prom and the wiimote wont even activate i know its synched cause when i press the power button on it the wii turns on but the screen is still black

@darkstylezvideo hmm I see damn I wish their was a way to get rid of it without turning it on lol, I might just phone them up and explain that I had no idea it was illegal but they probably wont believe me

Hello TH-cam world I just wanted to comment on this video because this just happened to me I went and bought new AV cords and it still did not get on so I tried holding the power button in and plugging the power cord at the same time and it fired right up!!!!!
i downgraded from 4.0 so i could play my backups...was at 3.2 then needed to upgrade for brawl so i went to 3.3 then my parents updated to 3.4 from a disc and it became a brick. All of those a U btw
Question for any one who can help me My Wii is Brick but I heard that this happpens when you install Mods to your wii well I did not do any of that I have only downloaded virtual console games and netflix and are you telling that because you did not install any mods or wadson the wii Nintendo sent you a free one? thanks
my nintendo gamecube will not no more boot up waht ever i did i have just use a sd geko whit swiss load a gamecube game was ty the tasmain tiger 3 usa on pal i get a green screen after that get my game cube asome tirrable noise and the black screen come not just the power goes on but nothins come on tv no black screen or something
love it when TH-cam recommends me these ancient artifacts.
two thins also show this symptoms: bluetooth module failure or wifi module failure. more common is BT module and it is really easy to replace.
I also have the same problem. Keep us informed if you get it fixed. I'll do the same. Best of luck to ALL of us with this problem
Good Job! Online wont hurt your Wii, but Homebrew is SUPER dangerous! you are smart for not using it!
i did some research... the downgrade does not result in a brick, but it leaves your wii in a very vulnerable state because from what i read it leaves a stub from the last menu and if you do a disc upgrade to 3.4... your wii is bricked. I sent mine in to nintendo and they couldn't detect homebrew so if this happens to you SENT IT IN!!! THEY CANNOT DETECT HOMEBREW!!!
so you got a brand new wii... better get that WODE
if you haven’t whenever it loads at least better, install the home brew channel, bootmii, and priiloader not to look funny or do crazy stuff, just a layer of brick protection
the black screen is mainly hardware issue, alot of the times is caused by the power pack, wii preloader will only screw up your wii if you do not doo it right and correctly understand everything, simple really.
lol, you beat the system, got a noo wii, that is just awesome :3
Try pressing the power and reset button at the same time. That worked for me. Led light indicator should be red when you press both buttons.
@AaronPr19 Umm..... If it's bricked like this then they have to replace the wii's internal memory. The only surefire way to know if your wii is bricked in that way is if you try to boot recovery mode. Look up how to do it but if you can't boot recovery mode then they won't be able to detect it. Keep in mind that when you send it in though they will automatically replace your disc drive so you can't play backups from disc and they will give you the latest system menu.
alright, i know you fixed this... but, the way I fixed my black screen of death was by doing the most simple thing... taking out the sd card.
they don't repair wii RVL-001 or wii family editions anymore, just wii minis
@mistask8a Did you try to put on another theme that wasn't the original? I tried and got bricked xD tried to put wii dark theme on a white wii xD (FAYUL!)
Hey guys just to let you know, I was able to fix this problem by sending it to Nintendo. because of teh nature of the problem they were not able to see that I had homebrew on it and they did not charge me!
So if you have this problem chances are you are probably safe to send it to Nintendo.
Now in 2020 that prob don’t work
@darkstylezvideo
do they restore your hardrive? cause I want them to but im afraid if they do then they'll end up finding the homebrew and charge me =S
@Wiimaster206 YES CORRECT, I tried to uninstall priiloader but my wii could't, I don't why?

YOUR WII WILL BRICK AFTER UPDATE AFTER its code has been changed such as installing Priiloader, cause it changes the way your wii works.
Hey if you figure out how to fix it let me know!
@YoshiLikesFruit Once you get the Homebrew Channel, DO NOT update the System Menu. That's all there is to it.
My Wii also had the black screen but before that happens, when I tried to turn my Wii power on, the green light did not show up and I had to hold the button, causing the blue light on the disk slot flickering until the green light on the power shows up. Does it means my Wii is spoiled or is it bricked?

I honestly don't think I ever tried that. I'm sorry I can't be of more use, but even if the wii motes can turn it on, I think the problem lies somewhere in boot up, not in the powering on of the wii.
well at least your wii works now but in order for the gamecube trick to work you needed a modded wii plus the disc to run savemiifrii.
I had a different black screen problem that may help some people. Turns out I installed a wad on to the Wii HD without any free blocks available. When I restarted the Wii, I got the health and safety message, then the screen went black at the system menu. What I did was launch Priiloader and lauched the wad manager and uninstalled the wad. It works now.
i did that too i deleted all my wads which i downloaded and now my wii turns on but doesnt show me a image help
@grady219 can they find the traces of the homebrew channel and your hd?
wow dude... thats the exact same thing my wii is doing. You think I can still send it in and they won't know?
The high frequency from your TV kills me!
@YoshiLikesFruit i got a half brick wii and now a can't get the settings menu, but, all just for install the blackwii theme, i recommend not try to install any theme, i use to had a full functional wii before getting themes, if you need help or wanna know what u need to play some wii games just ask me and i will tell all u need to know, i got a 4.3u system and works so good, and, who needs the setting menu anyway?

@darkstylezvideo he said he was able to fix it by sending it to nintendo, who didn't know there was homebrew on it, and he got a new wii...why would he need a new wii if nintendo fixed his? Im just saying, he said nintendo fixed it,and he got a new wii...so why would he get a new wii if the problem was fixed?

@PLatinum9inkc What no-solder chip did you request? was it savemii or something else? I've done the same thing on CL and i'm hoping someone is wiling to assist me too.
@grady219 so they can't detect the homebrew channel even though I install it?
did you still have your save data? im thinking of sending it in too but i dont know
the downgrade didn't kill it... the update to 3.4 did
