I've cross-posted this on multiple sites, and haven't gotten a single reply yet. I'm really hoping that someone here knows what the best thing to do would be.
So about 2 days ago, I performed a system transfer from my Wii to my Wii U. I had plans to format the Wii, since it has the mail brick on it. If you don't know what that is, click on this spoiler:
Oh, and in case you're wondering, I did have the homebrew channel on here at one point, but since I initially believed that the app was the cause of the brick, I uninstalled it.
The only way to get rid of this brick, as shown in the picture above, is to format the Wii. I have always been skeptical about doing this, as I have had this Wii for almost 9 years, and I really didn't feel like putting all of my save data on my Wii U. But of course, a couple days ago, I finally got the guts to transfer all my stuff, and format it. But there's only one issue now...
I tried to format it twice, and both times, the console froze dead when I pressed the final format button. This is really getting on my nerves. I literally cannot find anyone else who has had this issue online. Since all of my stuff is gone off of my Wii anyways, I'm thinking about just going out and buying a new Wii; one that isn't messed up like mine is.
Thoughts? I really need help.

*Superfluous stuff; don't need to read this, unless you want to understand my issue further*
I have been dealing with this brick on my Wii for about two years now. It was caused when my Wii was attempting to delete messages off of the message board, and the console shut off during the process, creating a corrupted message. The wii has to be turned on in maintenance mode, or else it will lock up. It really doesn't impede gameplay in any way, but it can get really annoying. If I forget to hold down the + and - buttons when I press A on the health & safety screen, the console freezes. If I release the two buttons too early after pressing A, the console freezes. If I back out of an application or a game through hitting HOME and going to the menu, the console freezes. See my issue here? Not only that, but because the issue stems from the message board, and the console has to be turned on in maintenance mode, the message board AND the photo channel are rendered useless. It's just slowly, increasingly getting on my nerves. The only way to get rid of this brick, as shown in the picture above, is to format the Wii.

The Wii freezes up ever single time I try to format it!
