We are setting up our Wii for the first time and were trying to get the sensitivty of the remotes and sensor bar correct. We turned it way down – thinking it was too sensitive – but now can’t get the sensor bar to pick up anything! No cursor on the screen – at all! BUT we can’t figure out how to reset it either, HELP!!

Well, try a couple of things
First effort:
1st- Unplug your sensor bar
2nd- Turn off your Wii
3rd- Plug the sensor bar back in and turn the Wii back on
If that doesn’t re-set it and let the bar read your remotes- then do this (fool your Wii into thinking the sensor light is brighter). Do this-
Unplug the sensor bar from the Wii
1st- Get 2 little candles and light them up
2nd- Put one on each side of your TV but in front of it- kinda about 2 feet apart- This will take the place of your sensor bar. (Your sensor bar just emits light that the remotes pick up)
3rd- now go in to settings and reset the sensitivity
4th- turn off the Wii, and plug in the sensor bar
See if that doesn’t work. Hope it does- otherwise, not sure…
Also- you only have to permanantly sync your remotes once as long as you do it by pressing the red button on the Wii and on the remote at the same time- if you do a 1 + 2 sync it will ahve to be re-done each time you play- but the other way is a once only
Hi, first off you have to have batteries in the right controller. If you have other rechargeable things in it .Take them out and Put two AA batteries in it. Then open the little door on the console. There is a little red button on you controller next to the batteries. Push it and then push the little red button in the console. Wait till the lights quite flashing and then you should be hooked up again. Make sure you don’t have to much light in the room. It really makes a difference. Every time you stop or turn off a game you have to do this. Hope it works. If not call nintendo.
Ok, I did this same thing and even called Nintendo and they couldn’t tell me what to do but I figured it out! All is not lost. Hold your wii remote real close to the sensor on the sensor bar and go back in and reset your sensitivity level. Takes some doing because the curser is so unstable but it fixed my problem before anyone knew I screwed it up!
