copied from brick page
If the [[System Menu]]'s [[IOS]] is corrupted, then the Wii will not show anything on the screen. This will appear identical to a [[Brick/System Menu brick|System Menu brick]], however, [[Priiloader]] cannot be used to fix this brick.
A broken Wifi Module will present the same symptoms, but can only be fixed by replacing the module. This extends to installing a normal [[System Menu]] [[IOS]] on a [[Wii Mini]] without a WiFi module installed.
== Fixing this brick ==
To recover from an IOS brick, [[BootMii]] must be installed as [[boot2]]. Normal homebrew will likely not work to recover from this brick, because they depend on IOS's that are now corrupted. Instead, special tools using [[mini]] (such as [[RestoreMii]]) must be used to fix this brick.
If BootMii cannot be installed as boot2 on this Wii, then [[Infectus]] must be used to restore a NAND backup.
== Cause of this brick ==
This brick occurs when the System Menu IOS is missing or corrupted. When this happens, boot2 cannot locate the IOS that should be launched, so it fails to boot, or boots garbage code.
