No display signal on bootup with SD card inside

I successfully added the homebrew channel and it's all working fine, but I noticed this morning that there's no display signal from my Wii with my SD card inside. I have to remove it, then turn on my Wii (then re-insert the SD card to run Homebrew)

The SD card is the one I use for loading Homebrew apps, and I have deleted all the installation files.

Does anyone else have this issue? Is this a side effect of installing Homebrew, or is this a common Wii problem?

Doesn't bother me too much, but I panicked a bit and thought I had bricked my Wii.

Ta!

The little green light doesn't even switch on when you try to turn on your wii with the SD card inserted?

Oh i'm sorry - i misquoted myself ... the Wii turns on but there is no display signal to my tv. When I take the card out and turn the wii on again the signal works fine.

Do you have Bootmii installed as boot2? If you do, you may need to change the video mode in the bootmii.ini file to something supported by your TV. Or you could change it to autoboot the system menu. You can change these settings manually, or with BootMii Configuration Editor.

Ah yes, i am using boot2.

I didn't know that you had to configure the ini file for video settings. I will give that a try!

It might be a bootmii.ini corruption issue too... open it with a linux line ending friendly editor and see if it's truncated. it happened to me once when there was no space left on the sd card.

Thanks for all your help guys.

jbc007 - your idea of using the Bootmii config worked perfectly. I just changed my display setting to PAL60 instead of the default NTSC and it all works fine.

This is good info for anyone else with this problem.

Cheers!
