Okay. So my kid’s friend did this update on his system, not understanding that it was going to brick his system, which is not modded in any way. I got volunteered, through my son, to sort it out. Here’s what I’m thinking, and please let me know if I’m limping down the wrong path. This firmware is probably on an eeprom type chip that is in a socket or hard soldered straight to the mainboard. Has anyone looked into methods of re-flashing the chip with an eeprom reader/writer?

Now I’m not saying what kind of Wii I own, other than Nintendo brand, obviously! But were someone so inclined, they’d just keep their stupid wi-fi turned off and never update their Wii. If they had updates they needed to make, they could do it through usb or sd card direct to the memory install. Just saying.

I feel bad when Wii’s die. I wonder if this has since been resolved?
