Complete Guide To Wiimote Problems
This guide is to help newbies get their wiimotes sorted out, and get problems fixed. So here we go!
Guide:
Number 1, These 4 flashes mean you have full battery power. 3 flashes = 75%, 2 flashes = 50%, 1 flash = 25%. If the Wii is on, the flashes should turn into a continuous light at one player. If not, then you may ave a problem.
Number 2, No flashes? Open up the back of the Wiimote. This is where most of the problems occur, so carefully open the back. You can now (if you just got your wii) put in the batteries in the right places.
Number 3, Synch the remote! When you first get your wii, you should already have read in the manual that you should synch the remote. Hit the Red button next to the SD card slot (shown) and then the one next to the batteries on the remote (also shown). The remote should now be connected. If you hold down the synch button on the Wii for 15 seconds, all remotes will be disconnected.
Number 4, You did it! if you have a continuous light like the one shown, then you have successfully connected and fixed your problem. simply press A to get into the Wii home menu, and do what you like!
Number 5, If none of the Above worked, then you must need new batteries. Simply remove the old ones, and put in some brand new ones. This should fix the problem. if not, try re-synching.
FAQ's:
Do I have to re-synch, every time I play Wii?
No, just the first time, one for each remote. And maybe if you get disconnected somehow, and need to re-connect.
I;m having problems, even after your Guide, now what?
Try Turing off the Wii from the main power supply (the plug itself), wait a few seconds and then turn the wii back on from the plug. then try all the above again.
I'm worried I'll break my wiimote, is the strap really safe?
Its extremely safe, especially the second version. If you got your wii on launch day, and your worried, contact Nintendo and they will give you some better quality straps. Otherwise, its fine.
I want to turn off the sounds coming from my remote, how do I do that?
Go into the remotes settings on the wii. You can also modify rumble and other things.
Does my wiimote have memory?
Yep, you can store you mii on it, so you can take it to your friends house and show off your skills and/or how you made your mii. You can also trade miis this way.
How much do I have to pay for my new straps from Nintendo?
They will send you 4, for free!
How far from the Wii can I be and still use my wireless Wii Remote?
Nintendo claims the wireless range of the Wii Remote is 35 feet.
Up to how many Wii Remotes can be used with the system at once?
Up to 4 Wii controllers can be used at once with the Wii system, each using it's own wireless bluetooth technology. This also depends on the game.
