Poor Wii...So sad... :-(

So, sadly I know of this first hand, and repairs are underway, but quite a few people have been having issues with Wii Update 4.2. Now, this update does a of what it's supposed to do: update security, patch game issues and brick any modded Wii whos owner was dumb enough to update it.

 

Now sadly, this issue has also been coming up for people who's Wii's have never been modded. This doesn't make a lick of sense, and has quite a few people concerned about their Wii's. Fear not, for Nintendo has come to the rescue and has issued the following statement. Pretty quick response too...

 

Some of you have reported problems with your Wii console after updating to the Wii System Menu 4.2. The symptoms most people are describing usually occur when the Wii has been modified. However, some of you also mention your system has never been modified.

We'd like to help get your system working properly again. If you're experiencing problems with your Wii console after downloading Wii System Menu 4.2, and you believe your system has not been modified, please give us a call. If we find that you have a normal system and the update caused your system to not work, we'll repair it at no charge.

Please call our Customer Service Department at your earliest convenience, 1-800-255-3700. We are open 6 AM to 7 PM, Pacific Time, 7 days a week.

 

So go ahead and call them, and if your system hasn't been modded you can get it repaired for free. Good times.
