In the past few weeks i have seen an increase on "my wiimote isn’t working!!" threads. So i decided to make this guide to help newbies get their wiimotes sorted out, and get problems fixed. So here we go!

Number 1, These 4 flashes mean you have full battery power. 3 flashes = 75%, 2 flashes = 50%, 1 flash = 25%. If the Wii is on, the flashes should turn into a continuous light at one player. If not, then you may ave a problem.

Number 2, No flashes? Open up the back of the Wiimote. This is where most of the problems occur, so carefully open the back. You can now (if you just got your wii) put in the batteries in the right places.

Number 3, Synch the remote! When you first get your wii, you should already have read in the manual that you should synch the remote. Hit the Red button next to the SD card slot (shown) and then the one next to the batteries on the remote (also shown). The remote should now be connected. If you hold down the synch button on the Wii for 15 seconds, all remotes will be disconnected.

Number 4, You did it! if you have a continuous light like the one shown, then you have successfully connected and fixed your problem. simply press A to get into the Wii home menu, and do what you like!

Number 5, If none of the Above worked, then you must need new batteries. Simply remove the old ones, and put in some brand new ones. This should fix the problem. if not, try re-synching.
