This has been asked before but I cant find an answer except for the same trouble shooting advice the paperwork gives in the Wii box

The kids were merrily playing along and the handsets just stopped working. They were both flashing blue but no cursor on the screen.

We've done the change battery, check battery, turn on and off, attempt at re sync but nothing except flashing lights and going off.

Are they duffed and do I need to speak to nintendo/dixons tomorrow or can I try something else?

Help purleeeeease.

Thanks

re set the wii

its a little glitch that happens here and there

and re sync by pressing the wii resync button first then the wiimotes'

but its mostly a matter of just a simple reset

Yeah, you have to resync the Wii and the Wiimotes.

Lol! I freaked out as well. No worries!! :P

Ive tried all the re sync options but the flamin thing isnt working. The lights flash on the wii mote when any of the buttons are pressed but go off and there is no cursor.

When I resync are we pointing the wii mote at the sensor bar or the console.

Im having to stop the lads throwing it out of the window but many thanks for the quick responses!!

Must be something wrong with the Wii then

Should take it back to Dixons or call Nintendo

Grrrrrrrrr, only had it a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankyou for the replies..........

Have you tried pressing 1+2 on the 1st Wii Remote controller on the screen where it gives you the warning ---> (When the console its first turned on). If that doesn't work, send it back.

Does it matter which wii mote we return with the console as we cant remember which one came with the console and which one was with the PLAY game?

I cant believe this as its only a week old:@(

I'm assuming that it didn't work. I'm sure it will not matter which Wii Remote you send back.

this happened to me once. just unplug the wii and plug it back in the wall or wherever its plugged in. good luck

Take it back to the shop, Dixons, by law have to either refund you the money, offer a replacement or get the unit fixed within an agreed amount of time (this time period should be a sensible one).

Under the Sales of Good Act, consumers (i.e. you) are protect to the extent in which a shop must provide a product that is fit for purpose.

In the case of somthing going faulty, the retailer is responsible for the first 30 days. So if Dixons say you will have to contact Nintendo (you can do that if you prefer, but do what is easiest for you), you can tell them, "No, you have a responsibility under the Sales of Goods Act to refund or replace this machine."

Hope that helps

I agree..... try taking the power cord either out of the wall or out of the back of the wii. Leave for 30 seconds then replace and retry. Got to be worth giving it a go?

Tried all of your advice now and the darn thing still isnt working....oh well, will give nintendo and dixons a ring tomorrow and they better have one in stock!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks and off to bed for me now in wet and windy UK..........

i'm assuming you know you have to press a button once you re-sync the remotes to turn them on? i don't think i've ever heard of a wii that wouldn't let you turn on the remotes, i'm sure theres something you missed. you have pressed the sync button on both the console AND the remotes, one remote at a time?

Check the sensor bar connection. It could be loose.
