My sons shred board calibrate to the wii system

At last! My Son's Tony Hawk Shred board was one more try from being thown down the garden, as i have been trying since Christmas day, & finally there it was a board i could use. I've followed all bits of advice in a number of differant ways --- here's what worked for me, Turn off at the wall Sky TV, Turn off all lights (only tv turned on), put my crutches in another room (because large metal objects interfere with soft ware), Remove dog from room, Put senser bar on floor, Turn Wii console side on so that Dongle faced away from tv (aiming into centre of room), Place Shred board on floor facing tv/senser at about three feet away. Start process of game set up untill you get to choose a profile, Select profile, press & hold for 5 secs start button on board untill the four blue lights start to flash at a rate of about one flash per sec, then hold on same button untill blue lights flash quickly, then press & hold Dongle button untill Dongle light stays on, with in 2 secs game calibartion instructions start, BEWARE Tony Hawks responce when process starts is as annoying as not being able to get board started. Good luck when up & running it is one Awesome game!

My husband was ready to throw this game out the window instead of returning it because he was so upset...our poor 10 year-old son was so excited about the gift and then all of the effort it took to get the board to calibrate was ridiculous!! Researched online and lots of people said putting two older batteries into the board with two of the new ones helped. We did that and also had to move the couch into the hall and then it finally calibrated!! Oh, we also turned off the lights for some reason people said that helped as well. Don't give up! Keep trying everything but the two older batteries helped. Once it was calibrated we moved the couch back and it seems to work fine. So far it seems like a cool game!

you not the only one, same thing with me and 90% of other who got this for christmas

Try turning the WII so that the sensor is facing the skateboard, without any obstruction. That worked for me.

I had the same problem. I turned the WII so the dongle/sensor that comes with the game is facing the skateboard with a clear line of sight between the dongle/sensor and skateboard. Now it's able to calibrate. Hope this works for you.

I had the same problem. I solved it and got the board to calibrate immediately when I replaced the brand new batteries with used batteries. Brand new batteries apparently make the lasers very sensitive. You have less sensitive sensors with the used batteries. I just took some AA's out of my cable remotes. The game is awesome once you get it calibrated. I felt your pain for an hour or so.

I have been trying since Dec. 23, 2010 to calibrate this board; this is my son's... got it for him for his 8th birthday........... finally! tonight! i GOT it, after trying the batteries, moved furniture and got out the measuring tape, the repositioning of the wii, dongle, and sensor bar, directv box off, lights off, and left for hrs... nothing worked UNTIL i did all of the above AND placed a light colored sheet under the board, completely laid out, covering the dark maroon carpeting AND it worked the FIRST TIME.... after numerous attempts in the past 15 days. my son is gonna be THRILLED when he wakes up tomorrow.....

i had this same issue try turning off the lights leaving only the light from the tv....worked like a cham for me!

• Be sure your board is a few feet away from any walls, furniture or other people.


• Replace the batteries in your board (even if they were new).

If those didn't help, you can check the Answer Page specific to your platform:
