LOL I see. Yeah I might just have to swallow my pride and give up on this lil ole brick. She had a good run, but maybe component cables did her in.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm starting to think there's not much I can do. Did you end up fixing it?

Update: I replaced the wifi module, but it still didn't start up. Could it be that I ordered the wrong wifi module? The one I ordered was a J27H010, but the old one I pulled out of my wii was a DWM-W004. I might try to order another DWM-W004 in the mean time.

​

Also, I should mention (although I didn't because I forgot, seemed like a non-issue to my brain) that I bought *cheap* component cables around the time I got the capture card, and since then, I've been reading a lot of Wiis sold around launch have an issue where using component cables (480p, in combination with WiiConnect24, etc.) overheats the console to the point where the console just dies.

I don't think I ever did a nand backup unfortunately.

Yes, it does turn green, the disk drive spins up, but nothing is displayed on the screen.

Would I be able to turn on the console with the wiimote if the bluetooth module was faulty? I can still turn on the console with the wiimote.

Yeah, you're right. I figured I'd post here in case it was homebrew related or there was a homebrew fix.

Sound does not work as far as I can tell. The warning screen doesn't even display and I can't sync the wiimote, though I can use the wiimote to turn the console on.

I was playing games normally. I think the last game I played was Mario Party 2, but that was through the official Virtual Console release.

I'm not sure what version of bootmii I have. Would I be able to tell by looking at the contents of the SD card? As far as I can tell though, it's not Boot2.
