It was only a picture that was able to be posted on the Wii Message Board off of the SD card in the Photo Channel...but it said that once you enter a channel the Wii returns to normal mode, so maybe it was in normal mode when he did that.

hmm.. i wonder what would happen if you connected the usb cable whilst in maintenance mode...
Probably nothing, but technicians need to access things somehow

Well I did the maintanance mode thing and looked around the settings a bit but didn't check out any channels. I turned it off and read some of the comments and realized that I may have messed up my wii but i just turned it on and everythings back to normal so its not a permanent thing or anything.

what about save games? This is what I would worry about, 9 hours into Resident Evil family scores on Wii Sports etc

if it was compatible wth usb hard drive dont you think nintendo would use it for home use?

as for its use, isnt it obvious, its called maintancence mode, so its used for nintendo to do maintanence.

people may be able to hack eventually, but i dubt nintendo will use it for us to use at home, and when they find out many people are going onto it, and people may try useing it to hack, there next update will be to lock it, with codes and software which they only have the info to unlock it with

yup, you're probably right. However my simplistic theory is based on the fact the maintenance mode doesnt appear to DO anything, so Mr Technician must have to do something to access dianostic info etc, so why not a USB cable via PC?
I know its extremely simplistic, but hey, accessing a maintenance mode by pressing two exxtra buttons? ...
