Hacking ~My wii story~

[Bladexdsl]

they'll charge you to fix it no matter what happens when they see the homebrew and they can see it bricked or not

I wonder how they are gonna see it.. ( It is FULL bricked and has NO signal)
If my wii was semi bricked, the would have accesed the recovery mode and used the N pink disc to restore it, but after they did it, they will see like homebrewchannel etc, but too bad my wii cant enter recoverymode ( if it could, i had fixed it 1000 years ago) so the only thing they can do now is NAND operation.
Anyway.. when i got results i will post here too!

They won't bother looking for homebrew, believe me.

Lol your pic is funny. Btw IF they are looking? How are the gonna look? I deleted cIOS30-cfwprpht-v3.5.wad , that means deleting sys menu. If i deleted sys menu there wont be any homebrew right? O.o

Yes 213 euro.

Check out an actual bill.

OMG, dude this is a bummer... but I don´t think they´ll charge that much, IF they charge you...

a new Wii costs 199 Euro ATM so this would be WTF if they charge you more then a new Wii would cost.

I aggree!! if they charge me like that, i could even buy a new/used wii. If i buy new: i have chance i will get a wii with the boot 1 fixed ( like my old wii) and if i buy used: i could even buy a wii that can install bootmii as boot2.

That Hackmii article has been a one off and I don't know of any similar situations.

 

[bjorno]

O.o the most votes are on this one: They didnt give my original wii back, instead they give me a LU64.
I wonder, will they really just give a LU64? I actually dont think they will, probably reprogram NAND or something?

 

[techboy]

LU64 is really a bad term for it. It's boot2 v4 that makes those wii's act like that. If you update to 4.2 officially (or they do it for you), you have what you're calling an LU64. Boot2v4 doesn't run menus older than 3.4...

They won't spend time replrogramming the NAND, they will most likely do this.

Get the Wii.
Power it on.
Find that it is b0rked.
Send you a new Wii.
Send your old Wii to a refurbish facility.

I thought that in the 1st place too, but they lose money right? If everyone brings his/her bricked wii back, and they dont even look at it. (not really logical) aggree? O.o

What he said. They won't bother searching every console since it takes resources they don't want to bother using.

Also, they don't always send back a boot2v4 console. Some people recieved ones with the old boot1 where they didn't have it before.

hmm but if they dont search every console, how comes people get charged for homebrew ( they must have searched like sh*t?) but i will see... the best is if i dont get any charge

 

[FenrirWolf]

In all my time here I've never seen a case of them charging for any brick caused by homebrew. Ever. The hackmii artticle is the only time I've heard of it.

That suggests that they can't tell when you're bricked

Yeah, lets hope for the best. How long will it take to send the wii from Nintendo to the shop where i phurased it?

 

[FenrirWolf]

A week, I think

They probable have a cycle where you send in your wii and get a refurbished Wii, and then your Wii is refurbished and sent off to someone else.

 

[bjorno]

Btw, if they give my wii i sent to Nintendo, will they change my DVD-R drive? DVD-R has nothing do with the brick, but if they change it, i cant use NeoGamma right? O.o or will they just give my old wii thats unbricked or a NEW LU64 wii.

Speculation, speculation, speculation. Its pointsless and factless.

You've seen the facts thanks to hackmii.com

Gamble on Nintendo, or get a sure thing from VGC Repairs or whomever you trust with their ability to fix a brick or replace damaged parts.

I can't tell you what to do.
The choice and risk is all yours.

 

[tanis698]

i had homebrew on my wii and it wasnt a full brick. they didn't charge me for a repair at all and sent me a new wii.
