Cursor will not appear on screen

The WiiMote cursor is moved by you pointing the WiiMote at the screen. The cursor will move based on the signals it receives from the sensor bar, which shoudl be placed at the top or bottom of your TV.

Sounds like you haven't syncronized you wiimote to your console. - Turn on Wii - Press the red sync button behind hatch on wii front. - Press red sync button behing batterry hatch on wiimote. That should be the hard part. Possibly you can be required to access. To do the pressing of button 1 & 2 at the same time to reconnect. But red buttons are for initial sync.

Make sure that you've synced the Wimote with the Wii. you can do this by pressing the red button on the wii by the SD Card slot and press the red button on the Wiimote under the battery cover. You can also sync the Wiimote's by pressing the home button, clicking on the Wiimote on the screen, and then clicking Reconnect the Wiimotes I believe. When doing this, just hold down the 1 and 2 button. If your Wiimotes don't need to be sync then theres most likey something wrong with your Guitar Hero Guitar. that's the only other possible outcome I think. Unless then Nunchuck hookup is somehow broken. Doubtful though. Those Wiimotes are FEIRCELY strong. My dog, who can chew though a hard plastic chair, could only leave dents in the Wiimote he chewed on. (Bad Dog!) Hope you get it working!

Unfortunately, the guitar that comes with the Guitar Hero does not work with Rock Band or Rock Band 2. Rock Band, as you mentioned, recognizes the Wiimote as the controller for the microphone.

Unfortunately, you will have to get a guitar that is specifically designed for Rock Band.

I know this isn't the answer that is popular, but if you vote for my solution, please vote at least "Thanks for Trying".

Thanks for using Fixya!

try changing the wiimote inside the guitar

I have no problem using my Rock Band 1 drums with RB2. Remember that it will only recognize the drums if they are used at the main startup screen. Also, make sure that if you have more than one Wiimote activated that they reset off (You can only have four items max active at any given time, including wiimotes, ie: Wiimote 1, Drums, Wireless Guitar, Wiimote 2 OR Guitar 2).

To accomplish the above, reset your wii, and don't start Rockband up until ALL the wiimotes' lights go out. Then only use one wiimote to navigate. Finally, when you play the game, use the drums to navigate through the menu screens. If you use the wiimote, it will set you up for vocals only.

When starting up Rock Band, make sure that no more than one Wiimote is activated (two if you are using one for a bass/guitar). If any are, they will over ride the drums and guitar in priority.

Make sure that only the drums, wireless guitar, microphone (controlled by the Wiimote) and 2nd guitar (whether the fender type with built in wireless OR, but NOT AND, a 2nd guitar that uses a Wiimote).

If more than the max number of wiimotes are turned on when you power up the game, reset your console, and wait to start Rockband until the other wiimotes no longer show a light.

Good luck!`

If it makes the sound but you still get credit for it. you can hit the Home button on the Wiimote, Click on Wii Remote Settings. Then just turn the volume all the way down.

If you think there is an issue. Try playing with a different WiiMote, Or Consider replacing the guitar.

# Check that the Wii sensor bar is on or below the centre of the TV,and there is no obstruction with clear line of view between it and the Wiimote
# Go in Wii settings and check there are only 2 dots visible. If yes, crank up the Sensor bar sensitivity to 5 with 2 dots still visible, else adjust it till the 2 dots become stable at whichever sensitivity
# If there are more than 2 dots, there is some IR source in the rooms which is disturbing the wireless connection between the Wiimote and the sensor bar, so that source has to be removed from the room

Nothing else works, then resync the remote. Remove the batteries, wait couple of inutes, reinsert, and resync through the 2 red buttons.

I have GH3 for the Wii. The standard Wiimote will fit, but you have to fiddle with it a bit. Remove the cover on the back of the guitar. Attach the cable inside the guitar to the Wiimote. Tilt the Wiimote so the front of it goes in first. The back of the Wiimote and the cable plug should push down into the guitar and rest on the plastic "slot" molding. You may have to move the cable around to the top to get it out of the way. Put the cover back on the guitar and you are done.

Good Luck.
