sorry for being such a newb...

I'm curious about the new 4.3 updates ... I've read that it's not "safe" to update because it might "brick" my wii ... I've got the 4.2u system right now with homebrew ... & I've been reading a bit about the upgrades .... my question is, is it safe to update or not? & if it is what steps should I take so that I don't brick my wii?

thanks

Unless you live in Korea, no update from Nintendo will brick your Wii. Updating is safe but not recommended because there is nothing in the 4.3 update that is useful.

thanks ... yeah I read that 4.3 wasn't much of an actual update, but thought I'd ask just in case there came a point where an update was actually needed.... good to know .... thanks

First of all, living in Korea will not cause an update to brick your wii. Rather, updating a region changed Korean wii to 4.2+ will brick it (provided nothing is done to prevent this). Furthermore, he already said that he has 4.2, which makes this completely irrelevant.
