Wii with broken gpu

Wii with broken gpu My first Wii was notorious in having its gpu fry during electrical storms. I had it plugged into a surge protector that many other appliances were plugged into as well. The first time my first wii's gpu fried, I was able to send it to Nintendo for repairs becuase it was still under warranty. The second time that it happened however, I was not so lucky. I was not so quick to send my Wii off to Nintendo again becuase they were going to charge me $90 for the repair. Since then, I bought my second Wii from eBay and it's been working fine. I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to replace the Wii's gpu or whether I should just pay Nintendo to fix it. Nintendo did say that they would extend the warranty another year if I do the repair with them however, so that is an incentive to do it with them. Though, I'm not liking the whole fact of having my save games being wiped when they do the repair. I wish there was a way to read the saves from my old wii and back them up. Oh well.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,8690,8690#msg-8690Mon, 13 Jul 2026 09:01:36 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,8690,9151#msg-9151 Re: Wii with broken gpuhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,8690,9151#msg-9151

I wonder if you can just start up FTPii blindly and use that to copy everything? HBC even has a function to send binaries over the LAN, so as long as you could manage to get it started, you'd be good.

Once BootMii is released I bet you could get something like this to run on start up ;)

P.S. Not fully sure how bootmii is installed so this might not work unless the system scans for the files automatically already without install. Not sure on bootmii.]]> pinball Wizard OfftopicFri, 30 Jan 2009 23:50:58 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,8690,9147#msg-9147 Re: Wii with broken gpuhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,8690,9147#msg-9147 bushing OfftopicFri, 30 Jan 2009 23:24:33 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,8690,8888#msg-8888 Re: Wii with broken gpuhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,8690,8888#msg-8888 HyperHacker OfftopicTue, 27 Jan 2009 07:40:30 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,8690,8701#msg-8701 Re: Wii with broken gpuhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,8690,8701#msg-8701 pcmantinker OfftopicSat, 24 Jan 2009 23:59:20 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,8690,8700#msg-8700 Re: Wii with broken gpuhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,8690,8700#msg-8700 bg4545 OfftopicSat, 24 Jan 2009 23:57:29 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,8690,8690#msg-8690 Wii with broken gpuhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,8690,8690#msg-8690 pcmantinker OfftopicSat, 24 Jan 2009 23:40:17 +0100
