Sure, you’re in love with the game Wii, but what happens if the remote is in need of repair? Can you do it? Yes, you can, provided you’ve got the proper support. What else can you do?
Then you can return it to Nintendo or the nearest repair shop that is authorized to handle the repair of this kind. However, it will cost you a lot of money and could take a few months to complete. It’s time to be back in the game immediately!
Do not pack it away and send it back. Here are a few of the most frequent issues encountered with the Wii remote and the ways you can do about the problem.
But before you implement any of these suggestions, you must be sure of these things:
Are there batteries that are fresh inside your remote?
* Ensure that the cord for your sensor is securely connected to the Wii console and that the Sensor bar in itself is located either below or above your TV.
* Nothing should block any signal from the sensor bar and the Wii console, as well as the movement of your remote. Try turning off these things and see if that can help.
Problem #1 – The character’s hand movement is not responding in a proper manner
Flip your remote upside down and place the button side facing downwards. You can then tap the buttons of the remote with the palm of your hand several times. Don’t be too firm, but don’t overdo it, or you could harm the remote.
Problem #2 Remote isn’t synchronized with your console
Turn your Wii console off using the power button. Unplug the power cable and allow the console to rest for a while. Then plug the power cord into the console and turn it into a state by pushing the power button. If you are able to see the Health and Safety screen, slide open the small flap at the console’s front to reveal a SYNC button (small green button). Press the SYNC button, and hold it for 15 seconds.
You can now resync your Wii remote, so take the battery cover off the back of the remote. Look for an orange button that is near the battery. Hold this button till the light at the top of the remote starts to blink. After that, press then Release on the red SYNC button on the front of the Wii console (button is hidden in the middle of the white flap). The player’s LED will start blinking, and once it stops, your remote should be connected to the Wii console.
Problem #3: Buttons are stuck
Make sure you have a toothbrush as well as an ice-cold cup. Dip your toothbrush into the water, then scrub the buttons with a gentle motion to get rid of the dirt and other debris. Don’t let it get wet, so make use of the paper towel frequently to absorb any moisture you may have accumulated during your work. The remote should dry completely, with the buttons facing downwards for a few hours. Examine the functionality of the controls. If they are still stuck, repeat this process again.
If the solutions listed above don’t resolve the issues, there are additional resources available to help you prior to when you can return the remote to the manufacturer. There’s a wealth of information for free online that offers many troubleshooting tips. They can assist you in solving various other problems that you encounter.
There are also guides that will show you step-by-step the steps to fix a variety of issues that affect your remote as well as the system as a whole, such as freezing or overheating. Most of the procedures are quick and cost. All you have to do is be aware of what you need to do.
Therefore, my suggestion is to test some of these basic procedures. If they do not work, then try the other sources that I have mentioned. It could help you save a lot of time and cash.
