Call Nintendo. They are extremely helpful. They might be able to fix it for you.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Nope, normal AA batteries, and no, no third party items. I have a GH3 guitar, but I haven't used it in YEARS.

And yeah, I figured since the lights weren't activating that it was an issue with the controllers, but I don't see how both remotes could turn into expensive paperweights at once. If just one of them failed, I could understand it a little, but both failing makes me feel like buying a new one might not even help.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Afro, did you download an update recently? (within the last month especially if you downloaded one on Oct 1st) <-- update was aimed at the Wii itself, but i think it affected the boot system in the controllers too.
If you're using rechargeable batteries, how old are they?
You aren't using a third party item with the wiimote? or a third party wiimote? Guitar hero controller etc...


It's not a syncing issue if the lights on the wiimote aren't working. It's wiimote issue.
The Wii itself works fine i guess.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Are you sure it's not the batteries? If you're using rechargeables, you may have a problem.

Re: The Wii is Here.

It hasn't happened to me recently though. Is your firmware updated?

It's not un-updated, if that's what you mean. I'm not sure how recent my firmware is.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Maybe you folks can help me with this.

I try to turn on my Wii with the remote. Doesn't work. I turn it on by the console. Pressing A doesn't have any effect in the remote when it should light up or some ****.

So I figure, I gotta sync it for some reason. Won't sync. I know how to sync it. It doesn't work. When I press the sync button on the remote, it doesn't even light up.

And no, it's not the batteries.

But here's the kicker. I have two remotes and they both are acting the same way.

This happens.

Waaay too often and for no discernible reason.

You know how I fix it?

I just keep trying. The longest it's taken me is about twenty minutes of non-stop battery swapping, restarting, and attempts at resyncing.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I had one of those things that as an electric field like those glowing electric globe things. and the same thing was happening to me. when i shut it off the controllers sync just fine. you have one of those? or know what im talking about?

I wouldn't think a controller would respond in this way to an electronmagnetic field of that sort, but no, I don't have anything like that in the house, nor is there any new electronics in the house at all, apart from maybe my new Blu-ray player.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Make sure there isn't some other bluetooth device in your home that it may have synced with somehow. That'll screw with the signal.

No one in the house uses any bluetooth technology. Definitely not that.

The weird thing is that none of the lights light up when they're supposed to. Almost like the thing is just a dud.

But it's both of them.

Do you think buying a new one would help?
