I have had Homebrew channel with the backup launcher installed for a few months now and everything was working fine. About a month ago I installed Cioscorp and Starfall so I could run all my back ups through the disc channel and that worked fine also. A few days after that I had to unplug my Wii and I put it in my closet, I took out the SD card and reformatted it to use for something else. I figured I didn't need it anymore since all the applications were saved on the Wii. Today I plugged it in to play a back up game and it gave the disc read error in the disc channel then I tried the backup loader and that gave me dvd read error (349). So after that I tried a genuine game that wasn't burned and that didn't work either it gave me the same message. Frustrated I made the mistake of formatting my Wii hoping it would fix the problem but it still doesn't work and now I cant even reinstall the Homebrew Channel since it doesn't read any discs anymore. I cant send it to Nintendo cause my Warranty ran out already.

If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it. I hope I can still fix it. Thanks!

Hi

Had similar problem but there's grim news you have to take back to nintendo and pay for them fixing it. I cant think of any other way. Sorry

Good luck

Doesn't help now, but for future reference: Formatting the wii NEVER fixes anything. It just makes it worse. Get alot of newbies on here who messed something up and tried formatting, and unfortunately most of them we cant help.

Thanks for the response. Yeah I was just really desperate to get it working again but I will keep that in mind next time.

Does anyone know what the problem is from? I thought it was from the wads I installed for Cioscorp but when I just updated from 3.2 to 3.4 the system menu should have been back to normal and it still doesnt work. Everything else does just the disc channel wont read anything. Anyone know if I should buy SaveMii, maybe it could fix it.

Hi

Here's an idea try using the back up launcher channel. If you can still install wads.
