Sensor bar i put in new batteries for my pelican wireless wii sensor bar and it wont show a blue light or just turn on do you know a way to fix that. please and thank you if you know

Try taking a picture of it with a cell phone or a digital camera. If there are no lights that show on the screen then it may be the battery's are dead. If you had put in new battery's then the sensor bar is broken. The wii sensor bar is just a row of infrared L E D's and dose not sync to the controller. The controller has a camera in it and will see the lights and determine where to put the courser on the screen. You cant see the lights because its not within the light spectrum humans can see.

Are the batteries new? I had the same problem and the sensor would only work with brand new batteries.

will the Wii turn on? if not its prolly your power supply for it

Hi there

you have the sync error

This needs to be repaired.

you can send the console to Nintendo for free if in warranty, if out of warranty then this will cost you around $150, the whole process will take 4-6 weeks

I prefer the Wii repair guide Method, download the guide and follow the simple step by step instructions and fix the problem in less than an hour, no hassle, low cost everybody is happy.

Best Regards

Perform a remote power requirements check. For example, check for batteries in remote control compartments, replace with fresh new batteries for desired operations. Alternatively, the remote control would require power on buttons before functioning with NIntendo. Locate controls power button to initatiate process.

First thing to check is your battery... This sensor bar is nice that it doesn't require a wire for power, but the battery tends to drain pretty quickly. After about 8-hours or so of playtime you'll probably have to change batteries.

You also need to calibrate the sensitivity if your Wiimote afterwards to make sure it works properly.

Lastly, this bar is also known to have issues with some third party controllers. If you're not using the official Wiimote you might also have issue with this bar.

Hey Jack, How many remotes are you able to connect at a time? If you have multiple remotes try turning the ones you know that work off, and putting them in another room(so you know they will not try to connect). Then try connecting with the bad one. If that doesn't work you might have to sync the remote: hold down the red sync button on the wii, located next to the sd card slot, while holding down the red button on the remote, located under the battery cover on the back. Now try connecting. If it still doesn't work, the LED lights in the sensor bar might have burned out, this happens a lot when you keep your sensor bar directly on your tv without the stand(the tv gets hot and burns out the lights), a lot of people do this because the stand looks bad. Go buy a new sensor bar, they sell them at wal-mart for $20, plus they're wireless, so you don't have to worry about that thin little wire popping. Test the new wii bar, if it's still not working, then you're remote is just worthy of getting returned.
hope this helps! -cj

Cursor not appearing
Please note that our experience shows that this troubleshooting is best performed using only one (1) Wii Remote at a time.

• Some games do not use the cursor feature of the Wii Remote; Make sure the game you are attempting to play uses the cursor by reading the game's instruction manual. You can also exit out of the game to return to the Channel Menu and use the Wii Remote to see the cursor. If the cursor still does not appear, continue with the steps below.


• Trying to use multiple Wii Remotes in the Mii Channel or Photo Channel? These Channels only allow the Wii Remote designated as "Player 1" to function.


• Verify that the Wii Remote's pointer lens is free of obstructions and contamination (stickers, heavy smudges, etc.). The pointer lens is the tinted rectangle at the end of the Wii Remote.


• Check the battery power level by turning off the Wii console, then opening the battery cover of the Wii Remote. Press and release the red "SYNC" button to check battery strength. The number of lights flashing indicates the Wii Remote's battery strength. Four flashing lights indicates full strength. Our experience has shown that as your battery strength decreases to one (1) or less lights flashing, the cursor may not appear. For troubleshooting, if possible, try using fresh batteries so that all four lights illuminate. For guidelines on using batteries, please click here. If after inserting brand new batteries, you are still seeing less than all four LEDs flash, then your Wii Remote will need to be repaired. Please click here for repair information.
  
  
• Is the Wii Remote properly synced?
  Press the POWER button on the Wii Remote to see if the Wii console powers on.
  • If it does, the Wii Remote is synced with the system. Please skip to the next section.
  • If the power doesn't come on, power on the system manually and try syncing the Wii Remote.
  • If the Wii Remote will not sync, there is likely a problem with the Wii Remote. Please click here for repair information.
  • If the Wii Remote will sync and the cursor still does not appear, try another Wii Remote if possible.
    • If at least one Wii Remote is working, there is likely a problem with the first Wii Remote and it will need to be repaired. Please click here for repair information.
    • If you have only one Wii Remote, or none that are working, please continue troubleshooting.


• Make sure that the Wii Remote is being used between 3' and 10' directly in front of the TV and that there are no bright light sources affecting the Wii Remote's operation (review Game Play Guidelines for more information), and that the Sensor Bar is placed properly (see Sensor Bar setup).
• Check the cord on the Sensor Bar for any frayed wires or kinks, and verify that the Sensor Bar is free of obstructions.
• Check the button functionality, and that the Sensor Bar is operating correctly, by accessing the Wii Main Menu. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to scroll side-to-side through the Wii Channel screens.
  • If you are able to scroll with the "+" and "-" buttons, but the cursor is not appearing, then there is likely a problem with the Sensor Bar. Please click here for additional Sensor Bar information.
  • If there is no response, there is likely a problem with the Wii Remote. Please click here for repair information.
