Wii Remote Not Working Correctly (Lights Still Flashing)
Wii & Wii mini
Lights flashing on the Wii Remote indicate that it has not been able to successfully sync with your Wii console.
What to do
- Install a fresh set of batteries.
- Clear all syncs from the Wii console.
- Reset the Wii remote.
- Sync the Wii Remote with the Wii console.
- If fresh batteries do not help, there might be an issue with your Wii Remote or Wii console. Try the steps above using another Wii Remote.
- Ensure that you are using a licensed Wii Remote. The licensed Wii Remote has the model number printed on the bottom near where the controller expansions plug in. (e.g. - Nunchuk, Wii MotionPlus.)
- Licensed Wii Remote - RVL 003
- Licensed Wii Remote Plus - RVL 036
Situation not resolved
- If another Wii Remote is working properly, then the issue is with the first Wii Remote and it will need to be replaced.

- If you're unable to try another Wii Remote, or neither Wii Remote will sync, it could be the system at fault.
