Wii Remote Troubleshooting Tips
The Nintendo Wii is an amazing gaming system that lets you get into the action instead of simply observing it. To do this, you are dependent upon the Wii Remote Control, which is the magic wand that enables your direct participation. When the remote isn’t working properly, you don’t get to play. It’s an excellent idea, if you’re a serious Wii gamer, to learn about Wii remote troubleshooting so you can fix problems without sending the equipment back to Nintendo for repairs. To make effective repairs on your own, you should acquire a good Wii repair guide or manual that can give you step-by-step instructions for Wiimote troubleshooting and fixing your remote, as well as other commonly encountered Wii error problems.
A Wiimote Troubleshooting Quick Tip
Before you undertake a major Wii remote troubleshooting investigation to resolve a remote malfunction, try the following fix, which seems to solve a large percentage of Wii remote issues.
Grip the Wii remote with the button side facing downward. With a very gentle force, tap the button side of the remote against your other hand several times, and then see if it operates properly. If you’re lucky, you’ll have a working remote. If this simple process does not fix the problem, don’t despair, but continue below.
Basic Wii Remote Operating Guidelines
If the previous quick fix didn’t work to resolve your Wii remote problem, run through the following Wii remote troubleshooting list to ensure that you have set up your system correctly to provide the optimal environment in which the Wii remote can function.
* Ensure that the Sensor Bar cord is plugged into the rear of the Wii Console and that the Sensor Bar is centered above or below your television screen.
* Ensure that there are fresh batteries in the Wii Remote.
* Stay within 3 to 10 feet of the television set when using the Wii Remote Controller.
* Ensure that nothing is blocking signals between the Sensor Bar, the Wii console, and the Wii Remote.
* Check for interference from infra-red light sources, such as sunlight, candles, stoves, and fireplaces.
* Check for wireless devices in the area. Cordless phones, wireless computer keyboards or mice, or other similar devices can cause radio wave interference. Move them or turn them off.
Preparing to Synchronize the System
If the setup, described above, did not solve your problem it’s possible that the Wii console does not recognize your remote. An indication that this is the case is when you press a button, the remote flashes and then goes out. This is a common problem that can be easily fixed. There are many reasons that a console may not recognize a remote. It could be a new remote, it could be a remote normally configured for another Wii System, or it could be that the original remote has somehow gotten out of sync with the Wii system. The Wii remote troubleshooting steps given below have been known to resolve most of these recognition problems.
1. Press the POWER button on the front of the Wii console to turn off the power. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait a few seconds, and plug it in again.
2. Press the POWER button to turn the console back on. When the Health and Safety screen displays, open the small flap on the front of the console and press and hold the red button labeled SYNC. Hold the SYNC Button down for 15 seconds. This clears all syncs on the Wii, giving you a fresh start to re-synchronize the system.
Synchronizing the Remote
Perform the following tasks for each Wii remote that you wish to synchronize.
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote.
2. Locate the small red button just below the batteries.
3. Press and release the red button. This will cause the blue lights on the front of the remote to blink.
4. Quickly press and release the red SYNC button on the inside of the white flap on the front of the Wii console.
5. When the Player LED stops blinking stops and remains lit, syncing is complete. The LED that is illuminated indicates the player number (1 through 4).
This sync procedures described above must be followed for each additional Wii Remote added to the system. If you’d like additional information about Wii remote troubleshooting and repairing your remotes and your Wii system, go online and find a good Wii repair guide. It will save you a lot of money, time, and grief in the future.
