Sending in Wii--Dangerous? So, my Wii is still bricked with corrupted system memory, apparently a disc with 4.0 isn't enough to fix the problem. I think I'll have to just send it in (for $85...). I was wondering if it would be safe to do so, as I have homebrew channel on it. Particularly, is there any kind of history in the Wii memory that would let the technicians know about homwbrew? I'm taking the SD card out before I send it in, will that be good enough?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,22455#msg-22455Sun, 14 Jun 2026 05:59:21 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,24606#msg-24606 Re: Sending in Wii--Dangerous?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,24606#msg-24606 LeftToSigh OfftopicSun, 12 Jul 2009 04:20:13 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,24373#msg-24373 Re: Sending in Wii--Dangerous?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,24373#msg-24373

The customer service representatives were top notch like always. I always give them a thumbs up.

Yeah, from my one and only dealing with them, they were okay. But the dude that answered had an accent. =p I needed some help because when I synced the remotes, somehow they both ended up as Player 1. THAT was interesting.

@SifJar

Uh I was joking. I'm not a stupid American! (OK, I may make fun of myself) I'm over here drooling over an LHC (No it won't turn into a black hole) article!

But about the warranty, technically, HBC is an unauthorized modification, which voids the warranty. Dunno how much Nintendo cares though, I've only heard of one isolated case where the person was charged extra for having HBC]]> SifJar OfftopicTue, 30 Jun 2009 13:16:29 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,22901#msg-22901 Re: Sending in Wii--Dangerous?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,22901#msg-22901Why are you quoting me? I do not see any connection.

Doesn't Nintendo have a one-year warranty, worldwide?]]> daniel_c_w OfftopicTue, 30 Jun 2009 06:48:25 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,22897#msg-22897 Re: Sending in Wii--Dangerous?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,22897#msg-22897

Seek never stated he was from US.

I assumed he is from the US, because he used the dollar sign. :D

(but of course there are other countries in the world that have a "Dollar")
crap i didn't know that! Ah well maybe i'm just a stupid American, ja? I'd think ninty would have a MS style warranty for 'general hardware failure'. more like 'we fail at making stuff so we'll fix it for free'. o yea, ninty is making $$$ so why charge us?]]> z400100500 OfftopicTue, 30 Jun 2009 05:20:59 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,22881#msg-22881 Re: Sending in Wii--Dangerous?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,22881#msg-22881

Well, according to HackMii, they charge way more if you have HBC installed. Like the price of a new Wii for what should be a cheap repair.

That is tsill a rumor, and the rumor is about Nintendo of Europe, not the US.]]> daniel_c_w OfftopicSat, 27 Jun 2009 19:12:31 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,22472#msg-22472 Re: Sending in Wii--Dangerous?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,22472#msg-22472 seek OfftopicSat, 27 Jun 2009 18:58:06 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,22466#msg-22466 Re: Sending in Wii--Dangerous?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,22466#msg-22466 SifJar OfftopicSat, 27 Jun 2009 18:17:56 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,22464#msg-22464 Re: Sending in Wii--Dangerous?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,22455,22464#msg-22464
