hard to say, its not a common problem and there certainly isnt an easy fix. Id take it apart again and double check any loose connectors, or loose change.

i had a wii that stayed on a black screen when i booted it up, it worked fine then i turned it off and when i turned it back on it just displayed the black screen, took it back to the shop and exchanged it, i think if you look inside the wii manual it says that black screens can occur so just tell them you dont know what happened and go back and get it exchanged (if its still in warranty that is)

Possibly a short circuit occured when your mate/mates kid turned it on with the pennies still inside it.

As {{909}} said, this isn't exaclty a common fault. If its under warranty take it back to the shop. If not then open it up and have a look for any more coins that might have gotten stuck, etc and go over the fuses with multimeters incase one of them is blown....
