dciso (http://www.console-scene.info/forums/hacking-wii/1515-savemii-wii-recovery-dongle.html) posted this info:
The Wii Recovery Dongle news has been out for some time now. I have recently recieved some of these to play around with thanks to bushing. As you have read on HackMii these dongles can be used to fix certain types of bricks. But other than the Youtube video not much has been seen of this device so with the permission of marcan & bushing I bring to you some of the first official pics of the device.

- This SHOULD let you fix the worst banner bricks (where you screw up the main arc and get a freeze on the warning screen, not after it), but ONLY if you have 3.2 or earlier, or 3.3 and the Twilight Hack (beta1) already installed, and in both cases you’ll need a modchip.
- This SHOULD let you fix any semibricks-turned-bricks (Opera 404 error on boot) but you’ll have to wait until a retail game comes out with a newer version if you don’t have a modchip or if you have 3.3 or newer.
- In general, IF you can see anything on the screen, AND you have a system menu earlier than 3.3, AND your system menu main binary (dol) and IOS are (mostly) fine (system menu data corruption is okay), AND you have a modchip, AND your hardware is fine, THEN you can probably fix it with this.
Those who have Bricked consoles this could be the killer device for you. More news as we get it
thanks to malloc for the tip.
