My system has the Argon chip in it, 4.0 US, and is right now nothing more than a doorstop. When I turn the TV on all I get is a black screen. I *did* have homebrew and preloader .29 installed, but apparently since I uninstalled the isos, that may have removed them. I have made a nand backup using what program I forget which. Is there anyway to go back in, install some isos via the wad manager, or at the very least use a USB Gecko to reinstall the NAND? Also, no, I do not have SaveMii since I can't ever find a place that sells them, and yes, I did try modchipcentral.
I have tried the gamecube controller with no success. As for Preloader, yes, I did have it installed, but when I hole down reset, nothing happens. I think one of the IOS numbers I deleted was 60 which may explain things. Bootmii I've actually tried, but all it did was intall the homebrew channel, DVDx, and I forget what else, so the option of restoring the NAND that way is out of the question.
As for an autoboot disc how do you make them? I could use some information in this area. Also, just to make sure everyone understands, when I turn the Wii on, it looks a lot like when I turn it off ie. nothing loads, nothing comes up, no system error messages, no sysyem menu, no homebrew/preloader nothing. The only thing I hear is the (empty) disc drive trying to search for a disc.
What happened/didn´t happened when you tried the GC controller? I´ve heard people had to restart like 30 times to get it to work sometimes. Otherwise you should be able to connect the four buttons with wires.
I got a wireless controller so as to perform a savemiifrii, and thankfully, I can just depress the thing so I don't have to do some unscrewing. Bad news: I'm out of luck. It didn't help one bit. I did make sure it was in the forth port, but things didn't improve any. Also I think I installed bootmii as an IOS file, but my memory is a little sketchy on that part. I do remember installing homebrew from hackmii.
Also, if it helps any, when I say nothing comes up, I mean it literally. If I hadn't disabled the health-warning message in preloader I'd know if it was something more serious. Is there a way to do anything with USB Gecko or some other piece of hardware I could use to dump a nand into the Wii?
I think the fact I deleted IOS 60 is what doomed me. Anyway, just like the guy in this video, I'm suffering from the same problems.
