You need to be more specific. You need to answer all of the following questions.

What happens when you turn the wii on (Can you access the system menu, or is there an error)?
Do you have any softmods installed?
What is your wii's firmware version?
What happens when you try to run a backup game?
Have you updated your modchip to it's latest firmware?

Semi-bricks are pretty easy to fix, so once you answer these questions we can started.

Actually, I think Wiikey is supported, but you just need to update it to it's latest firmware.
The Wiikey update discs are here, use the one that corresponds to your original region & hopefully if your wii hasn't been updated to 4.2 or 4.3 you may be able to run the update: http://www.wiihacks.com/content/83-wiike...eta-update.html

If you want to fix your semi-brick, you need yo update from a game that is your original region, But it must have a system update lower than 4.2! The list can be found here: http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs...es-use-run.html

Try updating your Wiikey first, & whatever you do don't update to 4.2

Since you've already updated from Super Mario Galaxy 2, you should be on 4.2, meaning you've already lost your Wiikey's region capability. My suggestion now would be to re-install the 4.2 system menu in your own region (The region you bought your console in) using The Homebrew Channel's WAD Manager, then re-softmod it. The update will erase all current softmods & unbrick your semibrick. Your Wiikey will remain untouched, but if you want to use it properly to play in region backups, you should update the chip using the disc.

I'm happy to provide the system menu WAD files to you, but I'll need to know what region you bought the console in. I have a feeling that since you did mess around with the IOS, it may conflict with WAD Manager, but if it comes to that you could update from Metroid Other M & re-softmod your wii on 4.3, but 4.2 is easier.

It should fix your Semi-brick, but softmods may have to be used to bypass the disc read error, I have a feeling it's because of the soldered chip. First we should make sure we know to install either 4.2 or 4.3 As you know, installing WADs without the right information is dangerous.

Run this app from the Homebrew Channel & post the report you get on your SD Card on this forum:

Once you post the report, I will give you the right files you need.

Well, we know that your region is NTSC, but your system menu is actually PAL's 4.1 firmware, meaning your Wiikey should be safe. I really don't know much about this kind of problem, but if you were to install NTSC-U 4.1 over PAL, you will unbrick & you may be able to update your Wiikey.

Using WAD Manager, install these files in order:
IOS60: http://www.mediafire.com/?izwnwyyxdmn
System Menu 4.1: http://www.mediafire.com/?jx2js1hi5zf

Use must install the IOSfirst, however there have been some said 'bricking' issues involving IOS60...Therefore I will not be held responsible for anything that happens to your wii using this process, there is a certain amount of risk with anything WAD related, take it at your own risk.

Sorry about that. But I was too hasty with that post. It seems your major problem is that your IOS's seemed to be patched by nintendo when you updated using the galaxy 2 disc. I posted links below that post you read to help you out with your problem. I don't think updating to 4.2u is gonna help now. Just follow the links I posted after that post and the link 12137 posted, too. You have to address the problem of your IOS's being patched first. There are varying solutions for that. So, read up on the solutions and see which seems good to you.
