Wii won't play any games?

[Noah]

So I have a Wii (RVL-CPU-40) and whenever I try and load up a game, doesn't matter if it's Wii, GC, Virtual Console, and even Wii64, I just get a black screen. When I use USB LoaderGX my flash drive will just blink for a little bit, and then stop.

I don't have the eject button wired up, I really don't think that would make a difference, but I'll try and wire it up tomorrow just to make sure.

Has this ever happened to anyone? I've already tried just about every fix that comes up by googling "USB Loader GX black screen" and nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

It must be an issue with the Wii's cIOSs, DVD drive cable, or DVD drive itself. I've had a Wii give me an error screen anytime I tried to boot a game and the issue was just a faulty ribbon cable going to the DVD drive. Although I've never had a DVD drive actually malfunction.

If the DVD drive isn't your issue, you should use syscheck GX (downloadable on the Homebrew Browser) to see what IOSs are installed in which slots. If anything looks outdated or suspicious I would re-install the original IOS or put a stub over it if it's a cIOS.

I'm assuming it's nothing to do with the disc drive, I can't really test it as my disc drive was taken off (only using USB loading in my project) but you still need the daughter board on there to run games. I'll run the syscheck and post back with the results.

EDIT: Not really sure what I should be looking for here.

Whoa. You have tons of modified IOSs and cIOSs. Is there any reason why? I don't know a lot about modifying IOSs outsides of USB loading but I would think most of that isn't necessary. It would be easy for a problem to arise there.

What is the last thing you did to the Wii before it stopped working?

I followed a guide on soft modding a while back that had me install a ton of IOSes. Anyways, I solved the problem without changing anything with the software, I guess the ribbon cable going to the disc drive was a bit lose.
