My nintendo wii remote keeps flashing and the console wont power on. i have changed the batteries so its not that. i have also tried to re-sync but this doesnt appear to work either. how do you re-sync properly?
Just talked with Nintendo about this matter. Fortunately, the Wii has a safety feature on the AC adapter which shuts it down should there be any sort of significant "spike" or interruption with the power. The solution? Unplug the AC adapter for about 2 minutes (from the wall and the Wii unit itself), then plug everything back in! Believe it or not, this actually works!
Sounds like you may have a couple of issues. Does your console power up when you press the power button on the console? If it's just the remote that won't power up the console than make sure you have a fresh set of batteries in the remote and then re-sync. Hold the remote next to the console, press the sync button on the remote and then press the sync button the remote. The flashing lights should go away. If not call Nintendo 1-800-255-3700. They will walk thru the troubleshooting with you and it's free!!
You need to CONNECT your controllers do this by pressing the home icon on PLAYER 1s remote, then go to Wii remote settings, and press "Recconect" then you should be able to reconnect and connect the controller/s you have.
Our console would not power on (Wii is not even a week old), and I followed Solution #4 submitted by "trevorwinder" above.
TREVORWINDER, your advice fixed our problem, and I cannot thank you enough!

The power on my Wii console wont come on I had the cable tested and the power is going through there.If I phone the SA customer care line 0861000 Wii ther is no reply.
What do I do We gor the console in Novenmer.
Thank you Ingrid
Well first make sure everythings plugged in in the right place. i had a problem with the remote myself. like toyboy said, do the sync thing, but press both buttons at the same time and wait. If you have one remote connecting and others not, go ot wii sports and go to a double player game. it will say you need multiple remotes. then follow the sync instructions from there. hope this helps
Note: Make sure you have placed batteries in the Wii Remote.
This procedure must be followed for each additional Wii Remote added to your system.
