What should you do when your Nintendo Wii remote controller is not working?

The Nintendo Wii is a gaming console system that uses wireless, sensor-wielding remote controls to react to the motion of your body or hands. If you just purchased another Nintendo Wii remote controller so you could play the New Super Mario with a partner, but your new controller doesn't work? You can check a few simple things before rushing the controller off to the repair man or shelling out money for a new one. There are a few factors that may prevent the Nintendo Wii remote controller from working properly.

1.Look at the back of the Nintendo Wii sensor bar. Make sure the power cord has not come unplugged from it.
2.Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote. Ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly and have a charge. If the current batteries are inserted correctly, try another set of batteries, or another battery pack to see if this corrects the problem.
3.Move any objects that are obstructing the view of the sensor, preventing the signal from reaching the sensor bar. Make sure any light sources that contain infrared light are not interfering with the sensor. Things like candles, fireplaces and sunlight can disrupt the sensor on the remote.
4.Check the sensor bar connection in the back of the Wii. Ensure that the plug is properly inserted into the red connector. If the sensor bar is not plugged in, the Wii won't detect the movement of your remotes, causing the remotes to appear non-functional.

6.Remove the battery pack of your remote. Notice the small red button on the right-hand side of the remote labeled "SYNC." Turn on your Wii. Press the "SYNC" button inside your Wii controller. Open the SD card slot on the front of your Wii. Press the red "SYNC" button located above the SD card slots. This syncs your remote to your Wii. Your Wii won't detect remotes that have not been synced and the remotes will appear non-functional.
