all it did with me is it erased some of the messages in the message board, but if your in "maintinence mode" just press the home button and click wii menu and it should go away
I had no clue what it was (other then maintenance mode lol) so I called nintendo the lady who I spoke with, Brenda, said she'd never heard of such a thing or a question. She said she'd ask the help desk but I didn't wanna wait so I never found out what it was.
I guess Nintendo customer service people don't even know about it. Hmm... anyody here know what it is?
Lol you dont seem to understand this.. This is not a virus or even a hack. This basically a debug mode or something. Nintendo built this into their system on purpose and we just found it. It might possibly lead to running unsigned code like emulators if this can be used as an exploit.
I have found what it is for. The purpose of it is kinda depressing. When you send a wii in to be repaired, employees must only use the wii in maintanence mode so they cannot see your personal info, explaining why the country and message board buttons don't work.
I'm sure someone will work out how to use this one at some point, my guess is that it needs some kind of official verification tool such as a usb dongle.
@themidwichcuckoo no it doesn't It goes away if you play a channel reset or something

It's used by the people who work on your wii when its broken so they can't see your personal info. Bummer, I know.

I can't believe the Wii has been virused already. Why do people do this?

Maybe it's similar to a 'Debug mode'?
Hey, it's possible.

Thats what i figured too. It seems like we're missing some hardware to utilize this sucker.

Shame, most maintenance modes are fun to use.

What does this do exactly. Is it a virus that could screw up the Wii?

Lol no. Its simply a different mode that the Wii is built to enter. No one is sure of its purpose though..

I can't wait until someone figures out a way to hack into the Wii using this method.
