Hey all, my Wii has recently bricked from trying to redownload Zelda OOT from the Shop Channel straight to an SD Card. It somehow froze and I had to manually turn my Wii off. This was all possibly due to flash NAND problems on my Wii and corrupted Zelda OOT never really deleting completely from the systems internal memory.
When I start it up I just get a black screen. I don't know what to do, should I send it in to Nintendo, or buy a SaveMii? Is it guaranteed to work?
I don't want to get charged/sued by Nintendo for having a 1 WAD, wad files, and Homebrew Channel on there, would they charge me extra for that?
Can they even find it now that my Wii is bricked?
I had System Menu 4.0.
Some things I had installed on my Wii: Homebrew Channel, 3.4U WAD Fixes (cios_fix.wad, wadmanagerios16/IOS16-67-v257-prod.wad, and IOS Downgrader), and IOS60 (to play WADs off SD Card on 4.0), Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World Custom WAD
Really guys, I'm nervous and I'm not sure what to do. I need serious help, thanks a lot.
I've read that topic twice. My situation is different. I need to know if Nintendo will charge me or something for what was on my Wii since I now know SaveMii is out of the question.
You guess is as good as ours. If you really want to know, call up Nintendo and pretend to be somebody else and see if you'd get any info out of them. Don't know if you've seen this:
You have to decide whether or not to believe this. If this is true, then there's absolutely no point in sending it back. You can buy a brand new Wii for $250.
You asked for an opinion, so here's mine:
* I would try to exhaust all available methods first, before sending the thing back to Nintendo: SavemiiFrii, Pink Fish disc, autoboot disc
* Do you have friends with hard modded Wii? Swap drives and try some of those methods.
Personally, before I send back my Wii, I would open the thing up, remove the hardware mod, and make sure that the NAND cannot be read.

First I'd like to thank you for a well thought response to me. I've read and I've seen an official press release that Nintendo (German) will charge for modified consoles. Though I've only seen a confirmation from Germany.
Does it most likely help that my Wii loads to a black screen? So that they can't find anything on there?
