Hello.
I wanted to post some info that will inevitably help some people out when they go to mod their Wii's. If you have Wiiconnect24 ON and then take out the battery in the back of the Wii and do the mod, when you start up your system again for the first time, you may notice that the Wii shows that Wiiconnect24 is turned on, BUT The forecast channel and the news channel will not update. It will either tell you that Wiiconnect24 is not on (even though it on is in the settings) OR it will tell you that it cannot download the updates for the channels. I know this sounds odd, but I had it happen on two brand new Wii's after taking out the battery on the back of the Wii.
I BELIEVE TO AVOID THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TURN OFF WIICONNECT24 BEFORE YOU TAKE OUT THE BATTERY AND MOD YOUR SYSTEM. When you’re done modding, you can turn Wiiconnect24 back on like normal. But in case this initial problem happens to you, this is how I fixed it.
1. Turn on Wii.
2. Back up your game saves to SD card. Save Mii's to Wiimote.
3. Turn off Wiiconnect24 in your settings.
4. Turn off Wii. Unplug Wii.
5. Take out battery in back of system.
6. Plug in Wii and turn on system.
7. Make sure Wiiconnect24 is still off and format Wii memory.
8. With battery still out, turn system back on and setup all your settings.
9. Turn on Wiiconnect24 and check to make sure your news channel and forecast channel will again update and run as normal. Don’t forget you will have to set up your internet connection and time and date settings again.
10. Turn off Wii. DO NOT UNPLUG.
11. Reinstall battery.
12. That should get the updating back to normal.
13. If upon first insert of a disc, you get a read error. Unplug and plug back in the system. Everything should then be fine.
I know it sounds weird, but when I first went to take apart my Wii for a modchip install, my forecast channel crapped out. I called Nintendo and they couldn't figure it out, so they sent me a new one. When I took the battery out of the second one, it happened again. I fiddled with it, as stated above, and got it working again.
I hope this helps give a heads up before the rash of installs of Wiikey next week. Good luck in modding your Wii’s.
