hello
I have a NTSC wii and some days ago it bricked. Nothing works, it doesnīt play anything..
I see lots of threads about semi-bricks (when only the settings page bricks), but not to much about full bricks.
anyone knows if thereīs anything I could do?

I know it had been asked before, and in fact I did read that post. And believe me, Iīm doing lots of searches.. So I apologize for doing a post similar to other, but there arenīt in fact many post about full bricks. I see lots of ones talking about bricks in general and when they talk about full bricks, they just say it has no solution. It seems to me that semi-bricks are much more frequent than the full ones, or maybe people with full bricks are not expressing their situation due to their big depression right now....
Anyway, sorry for the long post and thanks for the answers sor far.

Hi everyone,
I have the same problem, my (NTSC) Wii is in full brick mode.
I have the Wiikey chip installed, and the Wii got bricked because of the Super Mario Striker's (PAL) update.
I'm wondering if I can get rid of the brick if I try and insert the Wiikey setup DVD, or by removing and installing the Wiikey chip again, or maybe the Big Brain Academy's (NTSC) update should do the trick?
Can anybody help? I'm pretty desprate coz there is no way for me to fix my Wii.
Thanks for your time guys.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm not giving up on my Wii.
I trust that you have more knowledge in these kinda stuff than anyone else, so if you said there is no solution for now that means I have to wait then.
I'm sure there will be a way to fix the complete brick soon.

There have been allot of users getting their Wii bricked or Semi-bricked due to playing a PAL version of Mario Strikers on their NTSC(U) System.
But my questions is with the end part of your question (even though u had a wiikey and the chip in it)
You act as if the brick shouldn't have even occurred since you had a Wiikey installed. The Wiikey in a sense was the reason why your Wii system was bricked. It was the region override of the Wiikey that made it possible for you to region brick your Wii system.
With all the overwhelming information on region brick issues pretty much on every other Wii forum out there people shouldn't be region bricking their Wii systems anyway. It is easy to protect yourself from a region brick by keeping your Wii updated and also by using Wii Brick Blocker on Game Disc that include firmware updates.

yeah.. my hopes are in this nand flash thing.. what makes more angry is that I played the vortex ntsc mario strikers in my ntsc wii and full bricked it.. i thought i was safe because it was all ntsc..
but letīs leave it to the other thread that already discussed this (it was the pal version patched to ntsc, so the update in it was still from europe from what i could understand)
but so far nothing for us full bricked right?

This is the main reason that I use wiibrickblocker even on all the PAL games on my PAL wii. Just incase it puts an update and detects wiikey. I also got my wii internet connection offline at all times and wiiconnect24 off.
Hmm reading what larrylje said I'll also turn the region override off. Since I don't want to risk playing NTSC games and brick my wii.

Why do you have your net connection for your Wii and the WiiConnect24 turned off?

I wouldn't hold my breath. it says on the Nand Flash website "Every BIOS is signed for every consoles, so is not possible to use a BIOS from a different WII in another." Which makes it seem like if you don't have a backup of your bios, pre brick, you're not going to be able to recover.

Why not? Just incase they are able to push out updates and brick wii that have been modded. There is always that possibility. Better to be safe than sorry.
Also there are rumours about wiiconnect24 on standby which causes the graphic card to overheat.
There isn't much benefit on keeping it on at all times anyway. I don't use it for browsing. Just need a few click to turn the wireless on if I want to play mario strikers online.

but in my case I didnīt download the game. I bought it, from the same guy that sold me my wii, so I never even considered that something could go wrong. However he claims that the problem was not caused by the game, the problem is with my wii. That maybe it had some kind of defect in the flash memory or something else.
Iīm getting the "You tried to access the address marc:FIX/US/ENG/index01.html ...." message so, I donīt know if what he says is possible, or this error must be from the update in the game....

Hey, i have a similar case, although my japanese wii is in perfect condition. I'm scowering the net trying to find a way to get my language to change. Should i try updating the japanese system with an american update or would that just screw everything up?

Thats what ya get for buying a Japanese Wii system without knowing the language.
As for updating to a USA firmware version are you frickin kidding me?
Why not do a little searching on the forum and find out what flashing your Wii system with a different region firmware will do. Its just talked about everyday including this thread plus there is a sticky thread as well on what happens when you flash with the wrong firmware.

So anybody tried hooking up the Wii to the internet in the full brick mode?
Maybe an automatic update will appear.
Or try removing the Wiikey chip.
Who know? Maybe one of those is the right solution to the whole problem, if not, then we have to wait for the nand flash.

does anyone knows if the:
"You tried to access the address marc:FIX/US/ENG/index01.html, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page. Make sure your Internet connection is active and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection are working." error could have been caused by something else then an update error?

Thanks,its not me its my brother he cant read japanese, im fine with the language. It's just that when its in english he can explore it without me ahving to be there. If a complete brick fixer does infact get made or a CFW that would be able to change the language regardless of region. I do infact have a modchip with a region free feature and i can paly games from all regions. I had no knowledge that the wii would be in japanese, as the PS3 and X360 both included a language changing option.
