Make sure that whatever game you are playing (ie: Wii Fit) is fully loaded before pressing the power button.

If the light continues to go off, you may need to re-sync your Wii Fit balance board to the console. To do this, load Wii Fit, and when the program is running, press the red button inside the battery cover. Immediately press the same type of red button inside the panel on the Wii located between the eject and reset buttons (on the face).

If these steps don't work, try fresh new alkaline batteries and repeat.

Note that there have been lots of complaints using rechargable batteries. I've had the same alkalines in my unit for 3 months now. If insistent on using rechargables, I suggest buying several of the same battery and a quick (15 minute or 1 hr) charger as opposed to ANY after-market recharging product. It will be cheaper and more reliable.

Good luck!

Ensure batteries are fresh. Ensure that Wii Fit (or other Balance Board game) is started up completely before pressing the power button.

SOURCE: my wii fit balance board says to step off and press A

You need to load it, stand on the board, step off, and then press A. I have a WiiFit and that happens. It expects you to be standing on it.

How do you sync the wii fit board and wii console

  • Put four AA batteries into the battery housing located on the underside of the Wii Balance Board.

  • Insert a Wii Balance Board compatible game into the Wii system.

  • Select the "Disc Channel" on the screen with the Wii remote, and choose "Start."

  • Open the SD card slot to reveal a sync button on the Wii system. This is located behind a cover under the power and eject buttons.

  • Turn the Wii Balance Board upside down.

  • Remove the battery cover under the balance board to reveal another sync button.

  • Pres the sync button on the balance board, then press the sync button on the Wii. Do not hold down the buttons. You know it is synchronized when the blue light on the Wii Balance Board stays steady

  • Place the board on a flat surface directly in front of the TV. Face the power button away from the TV.

    I have a wii fit board, when you power it up, it

    Had the same problem. It's a sync problem.
    First, best to double check you have fresh batteries.
    Next, turn the board upside down and remove the cover from the battery compartment.
    Open the small hatch cover on the front of your console unit.
    Now start wii fit from the disk menu item.
    Next, press the small red button inside the balance board battery compartment. The blue lights will blink for approx 3=5 sec.
    While they are blinking, press the red button on the console (in the hatch compartment).
    This should re-sync your board and the light stays lit.
    Good luck.

    My wii fit board won't connect with tv is the blue light suppose to stay on all the time or flash

    Hi, thanks for using Fixya!
    • Open the SD card slot on the nintendo wii, open the battery panel on the wii balance board.

    • Press the two red sync buttons on the wii console and the balance board and hold for 3 seconds.

    • The blue light on the back of the wii balance board should flash for 5-10 seconds and then stay blue.

    • If this doesn't work then try changing the batteries and trying again.

    If it still isn't connecting then the problem is something a proper nintendo expert will have to help fix.

    Thanks, I hope I have been of assistance.
