Wii Balance Board Power and Battery Problems

Wii U, Wii & Wii mini

The information in this article can help you when:

  • The Wii Balance Board will not power on.
  • The batteries are not giving power to the Wii Balance Board.

What to do

  1. Check for an unlicensed battery pack. If one is being used, try a fresh set of batteries instead.
  2. Even if new batteries have already been tried, try another set of fresh batteries, and verify that they're installed correctly.
    • When replacing the batteries, wait at least a minute after removing the old batteries before replacing them with new batteries.

Situation not resolved

If the issue is not resolved, the Wii Balance Board will need to be replaced.

Nintendo no longer offers service requests for the Wii U console, the Wii U GamePad, or Wii U accessories. You may find our information on replacement and upgrade options helpful.
