When I boot up my Wii it will load my legit wii sports which is inserted, but if no disc is inserted then I get a black screen that says 4.1U in the corner. If I return to the menu from wii sports then I Get the black screen again

I got this from not checking the serial number on my wii. I have an LU65* Wii and followed this guide (after the 4.1 Softmod guide)

Does a remedy exist for my type of semi-brick? What is this refered to as?

Edit

So, I went up to and including step 5.
I was able to get the preloader menu to show up when I hold the reset button, get into the homebrew channel and then get into BootMii. However, BootMii will not restore my nand as it gives me an error:
"BootMii not found, too dangerous to continue! If your SD is corrupt or restore is interrupted, you will be unable to boot to fix it."

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Is there any credibility to this?

I couldn't find any info on unbrickmii on this site.

I was looking at this video, but I'm skeptical if this will work. It looks like he sort of downgrades the system menu. I was also reading around and that this is not possible with the LU65, which is what caused my wii to brick (not 100% sure on how it all works). Would doing what he does in the vid here have an effect on the LU65?
