Hi everyone,
MAIN INFO: wii PAL without any wireless Network or internet!!!!

I just installed wiikey on my PAL wii and tested some PAL backups and everything worked fine.

Then I loaded the wiikey configuration and set region override to ON and tried to load Marblemania NTSC backup after i started the game the screen went blacked and nothing happend black...

...after that i reseted the wii and it told me wii needs to do an update with an OK button so i press the OK button thinking since i dont have any internet connection wii will warn me and refuse the update but no!!!
wii started doing something and after the "blue update bar" went all the way to the end my wii did an automatic reset and now everytime i turn that thing up i see an opera failed web page load with no chance to get out to the wii OS screen

Can i reset the wii to get back to the main wii OS??

My wii is BRICKED(in simple words its F***ed) with no way to repair it than send it back to Nintendo without the wiikey chip installed! What the costs are i am not sure... i am still waiting for a response from Nintendo!

Yep it still is!
I installed it my self and everything was fine! But now i know that your are not supposed to play a NTSC game on your PAL console before updating it!

See thats what happend...
I have no internet connection so my wii was not up to date!
I inserted the Super Paper Mario and it tried to install an NTSC firmware update on my PAL console. Now my wii is stuck cause it is not a NTSC and the only way to get it to work again is to send it to Nintendo without the wiikey and pay around 70 Euros and they will reinstall the PAL firmware!
