I have bought Wii in bangkok (Korean model) Few days ago I use the wifi to hook up with Nintendo site and it blocked the device. On powering up I am getting unauthorize device error code....

Can anyone help me and let me know how to fix this problem... I am totally shocked as it was brand new console...

Thanks

error #003 is more then likely due to the system being region changed from Korean to USA. Then someone had updated to 4.2 firmware after this had been done. Doing this will give the #003 error message. As far as I know there is no fix for this issue.

If you want an answer start your own thread.

drazzam, start your own thread about your problem as hijacking another member's thread is a forum rule no no.

Well the people over at wiihacks.com forums are cooking up a few ideas, in the meantime, do you have the following:

LEGO Indiana Jones Hacked Save Data
IOS70 with Trucha Patch installed
Modchip with autoboot configuration.
Super Smash Bros Brawl NTSC

If you have any of these things they can be used to fix your wii. There is a special procedure called Indiana Pwns, that uses a exploit in the game to run homebrew to install whatever you need to fix the wii. The Indiana Pwns method works definitely however, you need the game, & a hacked save data needs to be on the wii before the brick.

Have you got any of these things?
