HELP! cannot get new wireless sensor and wii working together

[leethomas]

I have recently bought a new wireless sensor and cannot get it to sync. The start screen is showing but for some reason the remote controls are not working with the TV so the screen is staying the same. All the batteries have been replaced so its not that! HELP!!!:(

I don't have a wireless sensor but it sounds to me like it's a wii-remote problem - do you see l.e.d. lights on the sensor bar? If so this should be working ok...

This from the nintendo site re: syncing...

Set Up of the Wii Remote

Synchronising the Wii Remote with the Wii Console

Synchronising the Wii Remote to a Wii console allows the Wii Remote to communicate with the console. The Wii Remote included with your system should already be synchronised to your console. However, all additional Wii Remotes you use with your system also need to be synced in order to function properly.

There are two different modes of synchronising (syncing):

* STANDARD MODE - The Standard Mode procedure is used when adding additional Wii Remotes to your system or if you want to re-synchronise your original Wii Remote. Once synchronised, the Wii Remote will stay synced to the console unless you overwrite the settings by syncing the remote to a different console.
* ONE TIME MODE - This mode allows you to temporarily use your remote on a Wii console other than your own, or to use a friend's remote on your console. It can also be used to change the order of the Wii Remotes, without the need to turn off the Wii console. One Time Mode does not delete the Standard Mode setting stored in the Wii Remote. In this mode, the Wii Remote will only communicate with the Wii console while the power is on. When the power is turned off, the Wii Remote will lose its sync with the Wii Console.



Only a Wii Remote in Standard Mode can turn the Wii console power ON or OFF.
Standard Mode Synchronisation

Note: Make sure you have placed batteries in the Wii Remote.



1. Press the Power button on the Wii console to turn it on.
2. Remove the battery cover on the back of the Wii Remote you wish to sync up, and press the SYNC button just below the batteries. The Player LED will blink.
3. Open the SD Card Slot cover on the front of the Wii console and press the SYNC button on the inside of the compartment.
4. When the Player LED blinking stops, the syncing is complete. The LED that is illuminated indicates the player number (1 to 4).

This procedure must be followed for each additional Wii Remote added to your system.

You can test the remotes by pointing them at any bright source light the sun or close to the light bulbs and they should work!!
