It is quite unclear to me, can you get into Preloader when holding down the reset button or not?

I can not. all it does is keep a blank screen. if i turn the wii completely off then back on it is still just a blank screen. the disk drive acts like it is trying to load a disk and will blink blue when no disk is in it. i am going to try the gamecube controller trick tonight if i can get my hands on one

Try taking the Bootmii folder off the SD card (back it up to your PC).

Now try booting Preloader. All you should have to do is hold down reset while turning on the system to boot into Preloader.

If you did something in Bootmii then it is possible the system is hanging in Bootmii not letting it continue to Preloader. So getting rid of the Bootmii folder should let you go directly to Preloader menu by holding down the reset button.

i deleted boot mii off my sd card, and the same thing happened with the blank screen. but i did the three button trick and it worked first try. preloader popped up. I chose wii system menu and it popped up with the semi - bricked system files corrupt screen. i went into settings on preloader and the IOS was set to 15. i changed it to 36 and the problem was solved. thanks for all your help.

Did you softmod your wii, then update the system menu?

when you installed preloader, did you go into settings and make sure ios 36 was selected?

why did you uninstall ios249?

jewbare its a very long story..hope you understand-
one day when i installed preloader,i could not run system menu through it..it came "system files are corrupted"..then i installed a system menu from "any region changer" and many errors also came..from then instead of "system files are corrupted" a black screen came but the preloader was still there..then i thought of installing a system menu from wad manager so that it removes my black screen as well as preloader..i wasnt able to install the system menu as an error came(-1035)..when i checked on the internet about this error,i found that i had to delete ios 249..so i did that and my wii hanged at that time..when i restarted my wii-a black screen came..no preloader..
HELP!

sorry sounds like your SOL. when that system files corrupted image pops up, you need to make sure ios 36 is selected in preloader. do this by entering preloader and choosing settings.

Have you tried the gamecube controller trick?

AMD Athlon 64 x2 4800+ 2.40ghz
3.00 gigs ddr
windows 7 ultimate retail x64
nvidia geforce 7800 256mb
Asus a8n-e
