Sporadic Irregular NAND Dumps , Possible Fix

hi members , I wanted to share something I figured out recently. Simply I couldn't get reliable NAND dumps with one of my WIIs. If I dumped it 3 times I couldn't get them to be the same.

I thought maybe the SD Card slot is dirty , so I used a spray can of Contact Cleaner and let it sit for 24 hours. And yep I got 5 matching dumps.

You don't have to open the Console quite simply have the WII horizontal , my method is to start on the left then move the can right left right. Let it sit for 2 minutes then do it again and then one more time.

Do this at your own risk or if your desperate , hope this helps someone.

hi emu , they verify ok but when i make another dump I get bad blocks indifferent areas. So i took a gamble with cleaning the SD Card slot and I get the same dump each time (5)

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Maintenance most likely.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, understandable
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hopefully it wasn't a DDoS attack.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, i was already believing that was the reason it was down
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, The response from the page said it had too many connections. So perhaps, flooded traffic?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, it didnt say that for me
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, It only shows that if you do 'View Source', right below that it'll tell you the SQL response query. I feel like a nerd lol.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    and yea i played both undertale and deltarune too although those are a piece of cake compared to any touhou game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
