Wii Troubleshooting

[manwithplanx]

hi, sorry if this was already asked, but my Wiimote will not work. The 4 flashing lights will start flashing then stop randomly after about 2 seconds. When I try manually syncing it will stop and the lights will stop flashing again after 2 seconds and the wiimote still won't work.

Nintendo offers free support & repairs. If you have a hardware issue, like most of the ones I've just read, call Nintendo. They'll be happy to replace it if you haven't voided the warranty. And judging by what you guys have said, none of you should have.
I should notify you that Nintendo gives you 1YR free warranty. The Wii hasn't been out for 1YR yet, though. xD

Call your local Nintendo help-line and you might get a free replacement or repair. And don't worry about data loss, they switch over the memory or something - or just repair your console - so you won't lose memory UNLESS they said you will.
Good luck, guys. I hope your wii-motes are fixed.

classic controller problems

I am having trouble with the classic controller. I have luigi's mansion and the classic controller responds on the wii but when the game loads and requests that you press start, the classic controller ceases to function. any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am pretty sure that Luigi's Mansion is a gamecube game so you have to use a Gamecube controller.

Thanks Manwithplan, but I am operating Luigi's mansion on a wii with a classic controller. i don't have a gamecube but was told that i could play gamecube games with the classic controller. any further thoughts.

I didn't know they would work with a classic controller.

well when downloading games on the Wii shop channel it says you can use old nintendo games with the gamecube controllers OR the wii classic controller. Are you sure its not select or whatever? I aint saying anything just are you positive your pressing the right button cause for the first hour I was pressing the wrong button on Starfox XD

Hi, just a question. Is the blue light where you put the disk suppose to always be on? When i turn my wii on it just blinks then turns off.

Nope. The light goes on and stays off until it has a reason to flash. That being you received an e-mail on your Wii or Nintendo is offering an update.

I've had no problems with the older classic games, I only have Sonic and Super Mario so far though but they've both been fine.

That said, I purchased Tiger Woods 07, and the A Button, which is supposed to zoom into the aiming point, doesn't actually do this function. It does nothing. Ive had the same problem with 2 copies of the game, and with both my wiimotes, and ive checked both my wiimotes with Call of Duty 3, and they work perfectly. Anyone else had any issues with this game?

My local EB Games have got no ideas what it could be.

I was on the Wii Shop Channel, and all of a sudden my Wii remote wont work anymore. Its flashing the 4 blue dots and wont do anything else if I press a button. I know its the original first controller because I marked it. I replaced the batteries, Got close to the censor bar and everything and everytime I try to play the Wii it wont work. Please help, I really want to play my games! :cryin:

I had the same problem but what i done was get some normal non rechargable batteries and then hold the resync buttons then switch everything off then on again and it works

Wii Power problems

I just bought a Wii and hooked it up today and played for about 10-15 minutes and it shut off. I can only get the red light to come on so it is getting power but as soon as I hit any button at all, it shuts off. Anybody else have this problem? Nintendo is sending me a new ac cord but I am impatient and don't want to wait. Help?

I got a problem here, and so far I haven't seen a good post to fix it.

Here's a brief summary of what I did to the Wii.

-Took it out of the box and then put everything the same way as I did to my Wii, except 2nd floor.
-Boot it up, did all the configuration, went to System Update.
-Played my DS while waiting, came back after an hour, nothing. (still at like 1% alike range.)
-Unplugged it after googling about this problem, put it back downstairs, attempted update again. Went to around 5% and then stopped.
-Gave up, unplugged and plugged back in, tries to play Wii Play. Disc cannot be read error.
-Tried Wii Sport. Same thing.
-Tried Sonic and the Secret Rings. Boot up, but same error shortly after.
-Try updating for like 10 times straight with WiiConnect24 on, agreement agreed, and dozens of reformatting memory. Either freeze at the 1% or 5%. Disc never got worked around once.

So, here's the stats/problems of my uncle's Wii, which I am currently trying to fix -

-None of the Wii discs will read. Exception is Sonic and the Secret Rings, which got read but result in an error shortly after the boot up of the game. Wii sport and Wii Play keep on having "Disc cannot be read" error"
-Update always fails in completion.
-Tried making it standby and update through WiiConnect24. Shined the light for the entire night and still nothing.
-Gamecube discs work fine.
-Everything else (at least so far, haven't bothered going to much places yet) work pretty well.

So, anybody think I can fix it? I already sent a repair form through nintendo.com, but I was wondering is there a way to fix it.

Suddenly Stopped working...

I was on the Wii Shop Channel, and all of a sudden my Wii remote wont work anymore. Its flashing the 4 blue dots and wont do anything else if I press a button. I know its the original first controller because I marked it. I replaced the batteries, Got close to the censor bar and everything and everytime I try to play the Wii it wont work. Please help, I really want to play my games! :cryin:

This happened to me yesterday. I was fooling around on the wii menu and the remote suddenly stopped working. Resynching and replacing batteries yeild no results. All four lights just flash and flash as if taunting me. Please let me know if you got any information to solve your problem...

Oh, and I have two remotes, and they both do the same thing, so it is not an issue of one faulty remote, either, further I dont use rechargable batteries in the first place.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.
