Wii will turn on but controllers don't seem to connect to system. Bought a new sensor and still nothing

Have you tried syncing the remotes? Open the SD cover slot on the front of the system you will see a red sync button. Then remove the battery cover to the remote and you should also see a red button. Turn on the Wii and then press the red button on the system. Then press the red button on the controller and see if that works.

When asking to unlock parental controls, it should ask for a pin. Since you don't know the pin it will ask for a security question. Once again, you probably don't know the security question so ultimately, you need to follow these instructions http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/settingsParentalControls_reset.jsp

the wireless connection on the controller may be shot. try new controllers.

Hello there

Hold the Wii Remote upside-down with the buttons facing downward.

Tap the remote firmly against the palm of your hand three times to remove any dust sitting between the buttons and the electronic circuit board inside the remote.

Turn the remote upright and press one of the buttons. If the problem continues, Open your Wii Remote's battery door

Check that your Wii Remote contains two new "AA" batteries or a charged battery pack. Check that no corrosion is present on the battery's metal elements/connectors.

Use a cotton swab to clean the remote's battery element/connectors if corrosion is present.

Check that the Sensor Bar cable is inserted firmly into the back of your Wii gaming system. The Sensor Bar needs to be centered above or below your television so the Wii Remote can transmit signals to the gaming system.

Stand three feet away from the Wii gaming system/Sensor Bar.

Aim the remote and press any button to test the device.

If the remote is not working, stand five to 10 feet away from the gaming system and try the device. The Wii Remote works best three to 10 feet away from the gaming system/Sensor Bar.

Move any objects blocking the signal from the remote to the gaming system/Sensor bar--candles, other remote controls (TV/cable box) and wireless computer devices/cellular phones.

Also, if any sunlight is coming in through a window, close the curtains or blinds to keep the light from interfering with the remote's signal.

Turn off and unplug your Wii gaming system. Leave the unit unplugged for one minute. Plug the gaming system back in.

If the remote still aint working;

Turn the Wii system on. Press and hold the red "SYNC" button for 15 seconds when the "Health and Safety" screen appears on your television. The "SYNC" button is behind the small door on the front of your Wii unit.

Release the "SYNC" button. Remove the battery cover and batteries/battery pack from the back of your Wii Remote.


Press and release the red button located under the battery compartment. The blue lights on the front of the remote will blink

Press and release the "SYNC" button on the front of your Wii gaming system. The "Player" light on the gaming system stops blinking and stays on, the resetting process is complete

Hi,

This is usually a problem caused by the motherboard. If you bought a new Sensor bar and nothing works and all controllers are synced to the system, I would send this system in for repair. As, it would take board work to get your system functioning again.

I hope I helped!, GoodLuck!

Hello!

Have you bought new controllers?

That seems to be the problem if you're getting no blue lights when you cut it on.

Have you checked the remote sensor strip that you mount on the TV is there? Is it connected to the WII console?

First you Should test with another sensor bar...try to take it from a friend to test it in your system...could be cracked wires from the sensor bar....try to test the wires with a multimeter and resolder the wires from the cable...or you can take your sensor bar and test it in another wii...you need to known if its really bad ,or if there is something wrong with your wii system...

Okay, I had this problem also, it made me freak out, considering it was only 1 week old! what I did, and it worked, is
1. unplug every wire connected to the system (wires to/from wall, to sensor bar, and to/from TV)
2. unplug every other thing connected to it (i.e. memory cards, older controlers, etc...)
3. let it stand off in the dark for a couple of minutes (I reccomend 5 minutes or so)
4. plug the wires back in
5. turn it on
6. put anything else back in (i.e. the memory card)

If that doesn't work, or if this keeps happening, I reccomend bringing it back to the place you bought it (Walmart, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc)
, b/c they can give you a new one, or your money back. However, the warrenty could expire, or not even exist if you bought it online, or if you've had it too long.

I hope I helped you!
