Signs of a brick?

Today, when i tried to play a Gamecube game, the screen turned black and a message said "The Wiis memory is damaged' It appeared every time i tried to load the game from the Disc Channel. Then i tried to play Metroid Prime Trilogy. I went to the main menu and then turned my Wii off. Then i tried my Gamecube game again and it worked and the message didnt appear and everything seems fine. But im still worried. Should i send my Wii to Nintendo? Should i restore a NAND backup? Or should i ignore the message? Any info would be appreciated.

Maybe it means you're running out of memory space? Go to data management, and see how many more blocks are free.

Edit: I don't think its something you should be too worried about.....

Thanks for the info. I thougt i killed my Gamecube support or something, but if you say i should not be worried, my Wii will be alright. Thanks again, Waxy!

^^
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you don't need to be worried.

Did you check your data management?

It seems i have 300 blocks left on the internal memory, and i have a 1GB SD card with 4600 blocks left. Thats probably 500 MB, i guess... Should i move some files to SD? I don't know if 300 blocks internal mem is enough, especially if i'm gonna download that free NES game.

I just encountered another issue. When I tried to turn on the Wii, nothing happened. I used the power button and wiimote, but the power button light stayed yellow. I held the power button so it turned red. I tried to turn on the Wii again and everything works fine now.

What happened? How do I prevent this? I couldn't even get to BootMii/boot2 and I don't want to brick my Wii!

Was your SD card inserted?

If it wasn't, then it wouldn't have booted to boot2.

I had that issue myself a few days ago. I kept pressing the on button on the wii and it stayed yellow. I then unplugged it and everything worked fine... Weird

Was your SD card inserted?

Yes, it was. I tried everything to turn on the Wii, but nothing happened until I held the power button for 5 seconds. And right before the power button turned red, I heard a crackling sound, the sound you hear when your Wii crashes and you hold the power button to turn it off. It makes me wonder if my Wii was still on, although the power button light was yellow and I had a 'no imput' screen...

What do you mean a crackling sound? Like from the disc drive?

Crackling noise? That doesn't sound good at all....Did it come from the wii or your TV speakers?

The sound came from the TV speakers. It's a very short sound, I hear it right before my power button turns red after a crash. I thought it was supposed to make that sound after crashes. Maybe its just my TV.

Sorry for all the questions but what do you mean "when it crashes"? Like an DSI exception or just a random time when it will turn of? I'm just a little confused about your problem...

^^^
Yes, I would also like to know.

At least its not you're wii thats making odd noises. Thats a good sign. :P

With crash I mean exception DSI or when your screen stays black after loading a homebrew app. But I don't always hear that sound. It appears to happen randomly. Is this a bad sign? Or is it just my crappy TV?

Well you could try a different tv if it matters that much. Maybe it is something that your tv does when it senses a crash. (I have no idea)
