My wii is not really bricked it just does this really weird problem that I wanted to get rid of. First ,my Wii is Firmware version 4.2U and I hacked it with the Bannerbomb exploit and installed the homebrew channel ,the DVDx thing and Bootmii. SIDENOTE ONLY: ( As a sidenote for informational purposes only, i do have a backup loader ,but Im not asking for help with and it has nothing to do with this post. Im just putting as much information as I can about my Wii to help fix it). Everything on my Wii works fine the problem occurs when I boot up the Wii ,when I try looking at my SD card through the settings Menu and whenever I return to the Wii menu from any chanel.

I can look at the SD card through the main menu without any problems but whenever I try looking at my SD through the system menu my Wii freezes and since then the
Couln't find "hacks.ini" on either fat or nand message started popping up before the Health warning screen. I was thinking of formatting the Wii system memory and hacking the Wii all over again but after reading some of the other posts I'm kinda scared of trying to do anything else to try and help my Wii. I'm asking: What could have happened to my Wii & how can I fix it? AND: Is there a way to UN-Hack it? or if there is a way to return the Wii to it's Normal pre-hacked state without going to Nintendo?
