If BootMii as boot2 still boots, then it is either a System Menu brick or an IOS brick, both of which have a similar fixing procedure. If an Opera error shows, then it is a System Menu brick. If "Error 003" appears on the screen, then it is an Error 003 brick. To test this, hold + and - when pressing A if the system still refuses to boot, it is a banner brick, otherwise it is a mail brick. If the health screen is the last screen seen, then the brick is either a banner brick or a mail brick.

If the System Menu boots fine, then the brick is simply a semibrick. To fix a brick, it must be identified first. Instead of trashing the console, sell it online or ask a community (such as RiiConnect24) if they are interested in investigating the brick. As Wii's are no longer in production, many people will probably be interested in a bricked console to repair or conduct research on. If a brick cannot easily be fixed, it is not recommended to trash the console. The term is often used in situations where modifying a system's firmware (without necessarily making any alterations to the machine's hardware) has caused it to become inoperable.įixing a brick generally comes in three steps the first step is identifying the brick, the second step is launching homebrew, and the third step is using this homebrew to load a recovery tool. To put it simply, fully bricked Wii consoles do absolutely nothing. To brick a Wii is to damage the console in a way that it can no longer be used properly, usually beyond repair - as in 'A bricked Wii has all the electronic functionality of a brick'.
