Remotes on wii don't work - Nintendo Wii Console

that means that the wii remote it out of reach (the light that human eyes cannot see is not seen) or you don't have the sensor plugged in,
or the black thing on top is dirty, and you need to clean it for it to work.
(this won't help if your wii is not responding to the wii remote.)

go to radio shack and buy it the SATTELITE PRO NEW VERSION, is excelent.

God bless you

Have you tried washing the button out with regular rubbing alcohol then let it dry overnight. this should do it, if it don't you will need to take the controller apart to clean the contactor more thoroughlly.

Press a button on the Wii Remote, and if the lights blink, but don't stay on, then it might have a problem connecting to your Wii and you may have to re-sync it. If the lights do not come on at all, try changing the batteries to a completely new pair. If the lights still do not come on, part of the Wii Remote may be damaged and you may just have to use a different one.

First, remove the battery cover for the Wii Remote
Then open the small panel on the front of your Wii console
While holding down the sync button on the controller, press the sync button located under the small panel on the console, wait a moment, your contoller should then be synced.

If the buttons that you have are 1, 2, A, B, then you have the Rockband drums for Wii (the ones for Xbox have X, Y, A, B). You don't need a microphone to play Rockband, you just need to have a Wii remote on when you start the game. That should get rid of the pesky "Can't Detect Microphone" message and let you get to the main game screen to play the rest of the game. Have fun!

Have you tried syncing the Wii remotes? To sync, turn the Wii on, open the back of the remote and then press a red button that says "SYNC". Then open the SD card slot in the front of the Wii and press another red "SYNC" button. If you do this, your Wii remotes should be able to turn on.

If your Wii remotes still don't turn on, visit support.nintendo.com

Or call 1-800-255-3700 for assistance on your Wii.

There could be a few things.

1) if your Wii remote has a fresh pair of batteries you may need to sync it again.

2) This is the one that happend to me - The Wii Jacket wasn't on correctly and was covering the front; anything covering the front of the remote will cause it not to work.

3) If it doesn't have a new pair of batteries, consider switching them out.

4) Wii bar - if anything is in front of the Wii bar - anything preventing you from having a straight line from remote to sensor - this will cause it not to work.

If this doesn't help you completely, please let me know the problem a little more specifically. I would like to help you in any way I can - video game consoles are my expertise. I ask for a good rating to show that I'm on the right track and that you're pleased with the answer.

Open the SD Card slot cover on the front of the Wii console, just below the disc drive, and press and hold the red SYNC button for 15 seconds. This will clear all synced Wii Remotes from the console.Then try to sync it, press the red button on the console, then open the batteries cover on your
Wii Remote and push the red button there.

Take out your sensor bar and invert it few times, fix it back and resynchronise.
