2nd Wii controller no longer works. Change batteries four times, with one time of lighting of blue lights for few seconds. Tried resyncing remote using red button on remote and console. Also unplugged console and retried syncing. Even tried syncing temporarily via on screen set up. There is no blue lights at all with pushing any of the buttons post placing in new batteries and the hand does not even show up on screen. First remote syncs and works with no problem

Make sure you have fresh batteries in it. the little red button under the battery cover is the sync button. Push it and you should see the 4 blue lights flash on the remote. Push the sync button on the Wii (red button under the front flap) and wait a few seconds. The remote light should stop flashing and one of the lights should light, indicating which remote it is (1-4) Repeat as necessary or change the order of button pushing if it doesn't work the second time.

do you need new batteries?
or turn the hole thing off take the betteries out & reset you machine then turn back on & resync

Try replacing your batteries in the controller and resyncing it with the Wii console. To do this, remove the battery case on the back of the Wiimote, press the little red button, then within a few seconds press the red button on the front of the Wii system (under the SD card flap). This should get the controller (re)connected with the Wii

follow the steps descrived below:
1.Turn on your Wii console. While on the HOME screen, press any button on the Wii Remote. If the 4 squares on the bottom remain dark, change the batteries (or for a rechargeable Wii Remote, place it on the charger for a while).
2.If the 4 squares blink blue, then stop, your Wii Remote is not synced. Press the 1 and 2 buttons at the same time. This should connect your Wii Remote if it's been synced before. 
3.If your 4 squares still blink blue, then stop, these last steps will do the trick. First, on the front of the Wii console, just underneath the disc slot, there is a small panel that opens down. Open it and press the small red button. 
4.Open the battery panel of your Wii Remote and press the small red button. Replace the battery panel and observe the blinking blue lights. If 3 stop blinking, and 1 remains lit blue, your Wii Remote is synced with your console.

Try to resync your remote. To do this:
1) Locate the red button under the battery cover on your remote.

2) Locate the red button near the sd card port on your console.

3) Press both buttons within a couple seconds of each other.

4) Wait a few seconds if your remote doesn't sync, retry.

Good luck. Please rate, thanks.

there is a flap in the wii open it up. open the spot where the batteries go on the controller. the controller and the wii should have a orange butten press them both at the same time.

Re-sync the second controller. Press the red button on the system then press the red button on the controller

It's problem a radio interference, since the wii controller uses radio frequences to contact the device, try to resync the wii controller.


1. Turn the Wii console on and wait until the "Health & Safety" screen appears (don't press A).

2. 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.

3. Resync the Wii Remote by removing the battery cover and pressing the red "SYNC" button. Do this for all Wii Remotes you wish to use, and test for proper response.

4. If the steps above do not work, remove the batteries of the Wii Remote and leave them out for at least 2 or 3 minutes. Reinsert the batteries and sync the Wii Remote again. Test for proper response.
If after removing the batteries for several minutes, and resyncing the Wii Remote, your still unable to get the Wii Remotes to work, try syncing another Wii Remote if available.

* If another Wii Remote works, then your previous Wii Remote will need to be repaired.

Have you tried the following? If this doesn't work then pleae provide details on details such as the batterys you are using, number of remotes, etc.
The Wii maunual does not give clear instructions how to reset and sync your Wii remotes. I have found that from time to time my remotes will not sync, especially after they have changed 'order' a couple of times. It appears there is a bug in the code that keeps track of remote codes, and it has a limited buffer for the storage of remote ID's / order. Here are quick step by step instructions how to reset the remote list on the Wii console and re-sync your Wii remotes.

1. Un-plug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes (60 seconds should do, but leave it off longer to ensure all the power drains).
2. Plug the Wii back in, and turn on the power button.
3. Open the panel on the front of the Wii unit. You will see a Red button.
4. Open the back panel of the Wii remote where the batteries are installed. Beneath the batteries is a small button.
5. Press and release the small button. The Blue lights on the front of the remote begin to flash.
6. Press the Red button on the front of the Wii unit.
7. The Blue lights on the remote should stop flashing after a few seconds. Then one Blue light will remain representing player 1.
8. Repeat for remote 2, 3 and 4.

Hi Nixo, probably needs re-syncing, press the sync button on the Wii console and the button on the wiimote (under the battery cover), do it pretty much at the same time, the wiimote usually vibrates and one light wll show up.

Hope this helps
