Hey all, I'm hoping someone knowledgeable on current methods for correctly restoring a Wii can help me out here, as I'm new to this and have seen a lot of conflicting information. I don't know much about this system, but this is the current sitrep:
It's currently turned on and in the system menu and I'm afraid to shut it off in case I can't get it to boot again -- I thought this thing was totally bricked and was about to tear it down for parts but decided to give it a final try just now, and this is the only time it's worked.
Any help would be massively appreciated!
- Boots to black screen normally
- After dozens of attempts fiddling with the reset button (read about trying this), it did boot into Priiloader. So it's definitely been modded at some point
- Booted from priiloader to system menu and successfully paired a remote, system settings says it's running 4.3U
- Homebrew channel is installed but launches to a blank grey menu, it does allow me to select an option to exit to system menu, which worked
- CMOS battery actually works and the system is showing the current date and time (although 15 minutes ahead)
- I don't have a NAND backup or know the system's history and it doesn't have an SD card in it
