Er yeah, forgot to mention that my # in my first post has been updated.

The problem I came across was a bunch of small vertical lines that persisted on my screen both in-game and in the menu, regardless of which tv or cables I used.

They were able to transfer my miis, address book, notes, saves, and wii shop data, but unfortunately my address has changed and, more notably, I can't edit any of the miis I created anymore =(
