Uh oh.
Sounds like you accidentally bought a hacked Wii. When you upgrade the firmware found the hack and now your Wii may be bricked. Try this: while holding down the reset button, turn on the power to the Wii. If a menu comes up then your wii is definitely hacked but it has a brick safety program to get you out of it. If nothing happens then you may be out of luck. Since you bought from Korea and it still allows you to play it in America then there is a good chance that your Wii is modded. I would say return it to the person you got it from but that seems to be out of the question.

SOURCE: everytime i turn on my nintendo wii an error message occurs

This usually means the Wii was modified to play other region games and Nintendo has locked it out. In other words, the mod used no longer works and will need removed or replaced.

While holding down the reset button, turn on the power to the Wii. If a menu comes up then your Wii has been modified and won't work again until the mod is removed, assuming if it can be removed.

There is a decent blurb about it here, including instructions for users of Homebrew Channel and Loadmii. I neither use or endorse use of these modifications as it is against Nintendo's AUP/Service Agreement.

Error 003

Is this a Korean Wii? seems like a Wii update has been bricking moddified Wii consoles and also has hit a few non-modded consoles. If you had your Wii region changed then it was bricked from the upgrade. Currently no fix... (unless you live in the PI where they say they can fix it for P2000:

Error 003 on a korean wii. what to be done?

Error 003 occurs when a system menu, 4.2 or higher, from a different region gets installed onto a Korean Wii.
You probably have a US version system menu and most likely a hacked wii.

After you connected to the Internet did you accept a system upgrade from Nintendo? This may be the problem.

Try this: while holding down the reset button, turn on the power to the Wii. If a menu comes up then your wii is definitely hacked but it has a brick safety program to get you out of it. If nothing happens then you're console is definitely bricked (a bricked wii becomes inoperable).

One solution is this but it's kinda difficult: difficult solution
Another solution might be to return it and get your money back or send it to Nintendo or query them at their site about this.
Another thing you can do it follow a professional guide that can fix your 003 error. Click here for more information.

Error 003

Hi Raviraj,

THink you must have updated your firmware to 4.3 update and you must have got this error code 003

I hate to tell you, but your Wii has bricked. It is now inoperable. I guess you haven't heard, but the 4.2 update can brick even unmodded Wiis.

However, all is not lost. You can get your Wii fixed absolutely free.
Call Nintendo at 1-800-255-3700 for assistance on your repair.

you wii must be an korean wii and was changed by someone to be a North American Wii.
System Menu 4.2 bricks all wiis that have gone through that and gives error 003
there's nothing you can really do about it excepting calling the Nintendo service center.

Please revert me, if you need more assistance, i would be very glad to assist you more.
If you were satisfied with the solution please rate this sollution.

Thanks For using FixYa!

003 error on wii

003 (Unathorised device) occurs after applying the latest 4.2 update. This is the first update Nintendo released that searches for mods/'hacks to the wii, and attempts to delete them; usually this indicating you have a Korean wii.

Looking at http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/systemMenuFeatures.jsp latest updates 4.2 - 003 error, you may be able to contact Nintendo and ask them how to resolve it.

There is also a potential fix, but you'll need a drivekey/dx wasabii mod chip, home brew disc with various IOS, plus update 4.1. Be prepared to spend a lot of time and effort, Nintendo didn't do this to make it easy for people to resolve it. Check http://wiibrew.org

Sorry can't help any further at present
