Remote Won't Turn On
No matter what you do, you can't get your remote to turn on.
Batteries are Dead
We all have those days where we overlook the little things. Double check to make sure you have charged batteries in the Wii Remote. If not, it could be as simple as replacing the two AA batteries or recharging your rechargeable batteries. Learn how to remove the Wii Remote batteries here.
Not a Good Battery Connection
If that doesn't resolve the problems, make sure that the batteries are oriented correctly and making a good connection with the spring loaded battery contacts. Check for corrosion on the contacts and try to brush it off.
Bad Connection in the Power Button
You have fresh batteries making good connections in the Wii Remote, but the remote still doesn't turn on. The connection between the power button and the motherboard may be dirty and causing the remote not to turn on. To clean the power button contact, open the cover plate and lightly brush the contact with a new, dry toothbrush. It is also possible that the power button is slightly misaligned inside the Wii Remote or the power button connection has fried. In either case, you should install a new power button.
The Buttons Stick
You press a button and it will not come back up.
Food/Liquid Under Button
Do you ever find yourself craving a snack while playing on your Wii and you forget to wash your hands? Food and sugary liquids can easily get underneath buttons and cause them to stick or stop working. Your buttons may just need a good cleaning. To clean the buttons, you will need a NEW toothbrush, some warm water and a little soap. Remove the batteries from your remote before cleaning your buttons. Slightly dampen the toothbrush with warm soapy water and brush around the sticky buttons. Dry off with a paper towel.
If the problem persists, you might have to install new buttons. Follow this guide for replacing the main buttons on the front of your remote. Use the B Trigger guide, to learn how to install a new B trigger button.
The Cursor Isn't Where it's Supposed to Be
As you point your remote at the screen, the cursor just isn't where you are aiming.
Sensor Bar is Obstructed
Make sure the Sensor Bar is not obstructed by anything. If it is, move it to a place where it has a direct line of sight with your remote. Make sure that the Sensor Bar is completely plugged into the back of the Wii Console.
Miscalibrated
Often times, a Wii Remote will not be calibrated correctly causing the misaimed cursor. To re-calibrate the remote, place it on a table button side down for 10 seconds. Make sure the Wii Remote is orientated parallel with your TV screen. After 10 seconds, point the Wii Remote back at the TV. If this doesn't work, go into the Wii settings at the home screen and make sure that the location of your sensor bar is correct, either below or above your TV.
A Light too Close to the Sensor Bar
The Wii sensor bar uses a heat signal from the Wii Remote to sense where exactly you are pointing. Make sure that there aren't any lamps placed too close to the sensor bar because the mixed heat signals will cause the sporadic cursor. Also, make sure there are not any infrared lamps in the same room as your Wii for this will also affect the sensor bar.
Malfunctioning Sensor Screen
If the problem still persists, it is probably a malfunctioning sensor screen on your Wii Remote. To install a new screen see our Installation Guide.
Faulty Motherboard
The motherboard is the heart of the Wii Remote. The motherboard transmits signals throughout the Wii Remote, which includes the signal to turn on the remote when you press the power button. If gone through all the other steps, your problem could be a broken or burnout motherboard. Use our guide to install a new motherboard.
No Sound from the Wii Remote
If you know there is supposed to be sound coming out and there isn't.
Dirty Contacts
The speaker makes two connections onto the motherboard and it is possible that dirt or dust could disrupt the signal to the speaker. To reach the speaker, you must first take off the cover plate. Once inside the device, locate the two gold circular speaker contacts and lightly brush them with a new, dry toothbrush.
Burnt-out Remote Speaker
You smash a serve in Wii Tennis and your remote does not swoosh. This indicates that there is a problem with the internal speakers of your Wii Remote. This is usually caused by dirt and dust getting into the remote. To replace speakers, see our nifty guide for installing a new speaker.
Remote Doesn't Rumble
You just got hit by a red shell in Mario Kart Wii and your remote didn't rumble.
Broken Rumble Box
The rumble in your Wii Remote is made by a 'rumble box' which is a motor with a weight on it. This occasionally is faulty, causing your remote to not rumble. Yet, to replace and install a new rumble box will require a great deal of soldering skill and specialized tools. Rather, installing a new motherboard will fix your rumble box and other unforeseen problems with your Wii Remote.

I have two remotes, I put fresh newly-bought batteries in both and they blink but don't turn on. It won't even turn on my Wii when I press the power button. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting my Wii and the sensor bar, but it did nothing. I have tried to Sync the Wii and both the remotes multiple times but they just keep flashing and then stop. My Wii has only done this once in the past and I just had to wait a few days. I've waited months at this point and I'm about to give up. What do I do to fix this?

I'm very new to Wii U! I have my controller working fine, but my wii remote doesn't seem to do what I want it to do. Can't seem to turn left or right with the remote, so racing a car is impossible.

I have also had the same problem. Try resetting the wii. I don't have Wii U, but using the attachments such as the steering wheel for the regular wii doesn't work because it can't sensor it, therefore, if resetting the wii doesn't work, try calling wii support or something. ((( Im really don't know if wii support is actually a thing or not, but I'm sure it is)))

dolphinawoman - Ответить
My remotes worked fine a few days ago but then suddenly they didn't. I thought it must be that they need new batteries. A day or two after that, I went and bought new batteries to replace the old ones. I then tried to play the wii but the remotes wouldn't work. I went through and turned off the wii, unplugged it, and even moved the sensor to a position that seemed more correct. Neither of these things worked. When I press any buttons on the remotes, they only flash twice and that's all. The remotes are pretty old, but I don't see how this would effect them. I thought also that it could be that the new batteries just weren't working, so I went and got more. This didn't change anything. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I hope to discover it soon. I've had trouble with the remotes one other time, but it was easily fixed, though that was a few years ago. I noticed a red synce button on the inside of the remote, and of course, I pressed it, though it effected nothing. Could it be that the console is old?

Press the Power button on the Wii console.
Open the SD Card Slot cover on the front of the Wii console.
Remove the battery cover on the back of the Wii Remote to be synced.
Some models of the Wii Remote include a hole in the battery cover and a tool on the wrist strap to push the SYNC Button with. With this model, the battery cover does not need to be removed to access the SYNC button.
Press and release the SYNC button just below the batteries on the Wii Remote; the Player LED on the front of the Wii Remote will blink. While the lights are still blinking, quickly press and release the red SYNC button on the Wii console.
When the Player LED blinking stops and stays lit, the syncing is complete. The LED that is illuminated indicates the player number (1 through 4).
This sync procedure must be followed for each additional Wii Remote added to the system.

Over “bad connection with the power button”, where is this power button contact so that I can clean it? Where in the motherboard is it?

I got 4 new wii remotes to replace old ones that stopped working. After putting new batteries in the new remotes, the blue lights at the bottom of the remotes flash, but there is no cursor on the screen. Is there something else I need to do to connect the new remotes?

I've changed remote batteries and resync them both but other than turn the console off and sync, they won't do anything else. I can't go through menu or anything with them??

It sounds like your motion sensor (the part beneath the black plastic at the top of the wiimote). It may be due to water damage, bad contacts etc. the only way to repair is to open the controller with a tri wing screwdriver and check the area. Look for corrosion or bad solder points. Clean with some isopropanol alcohol to remove corrosion and resolder if needed. if that fails you will need a replacement sensor

I have a Nintendo wiimote that just stopped working all the sudden. I've browsed the internet trying to figure out why it no longer works.
I've replaced the batteries with no luck right down to tearing it apart, cleaning everything inside (with isopropyl alcohol as to not cause potential electrical damage) reassembling it and still nothing. Anyone got any ideas?

If its no power then try cleaning the terminals with distilled vinegar. It often fixes the issue

Here was me thinking this was a repair guide, only to see its a replacement guide that ignores how to repair most faults and instead says buy a new motherboard its easier. I am shocked to see it doesnt even reccoment checking the 3 fuses most wiimotes have, checking the capacitors. but mostly the main source of no power in a wiimote the battery terminals. the battery terminals often wont conduct even with a little corrosion damage, distilled vinegar can remove it and restore their functionality

I have a good mystery for you! I have 4 remotes, 3 with poor speakers so i ordered some in and replaced them but same buzz issues, the 4th remote works perfect, no problems whatsoever but the other 3 when i hold the home button down, the wii remote speakers buzz loudly. I then change the volume on the control settings which turns down the controllers but it does not affect the buzzing noise. Why would they be buzzing? i thought they were faulty speakers but i was wrong.

It could be a faulty audio chip causing your issue, here is a layout of a wiimote https://www.deviantart.com/mawk-g/art/Ci... although there are a number of different types used in the controllers the audio chip is almost always in roughly the same place and same chip. You might need to take them off a faulty wii remote.
First though. on the board where the speaker connects clean the contacts, there could be a fine film that has formed over them. IPA should work and a slight scrape with tweazers to remove anything affecting the contact

Fixing a rumble box is actually quite easy but does require a rework station like an 858D, they start around £30 so not worth it if you are only going to fix a single part and never use it again.
To use one to replace the rumble box have a heat of 440c and an airflow speed of 4 and move the heat gun in a circle over the rumblebox till the solder melts then gently lift off with tweazers, to add a new one heat the area and place the new one press down gently on it with tweazers and heat with the heat gun till the solder has melted.
This process only takes in total about 5 minutes and almost guarantees your problem will be fixed

The hand on the TV is sideways when the remote is positioned the right way

Why when I go into wii sports resort it says to click A so that I can read the safety and health questions and then it kicks me out of the application and takes me back to wii menu. I have tried to restart it shut it down and get it to work but it won’t. There are only a few scratches on the disc has anyone had this problem and does anyone know how to fix this simple little error that I cannot fix in my own. Thanks

Hi,
My wii remote was working however the sensor cut out and now I can only use the buttons. Other remotes are working but not the one I was using. I have tried turning it off and on and resetting the controller settings.
Do you have any suggestions?

i found my old wii u and it works perfectly, just the remotes don’t work I don’t know if it’s because the batteries are super old or if it’s because I’m really bad at this.. well when I put the remotes on the thing to charge them, the charging button flashes but the blue buttons on the remote don’t show even after 2 hours or 3.. I try to change the batteries but when I do it doesn’t charge.. Can somebody help me fix this ?

Hello! One of my Wii remote works well, but it doesn’t make the “spin move”. I mean… it points correctly, all the buttons responds, but when I shake the remote control to make a “Spin move” (in “Mario Galaxy”, for example), it can’t do it. Anybody wonders what is going wrong on it? Best!

My Wii remote has an unstable or Finicky Cursor. I think it'd be the IR Sensor/Screen, and I know it's not a problem with the Sensor bar because I have third-party Controllers and they connect fine and react fine. Would this also be your assumption or cause? A faulty IR Sensor in the Remote itself?
