I am unable to properly synch my new balance board ; I followed directions and tried two game discs that should be compatible, but the game balance board keeps blinking. Should there be some kind of memory card in the console that I do not have. I tried to be careful not to hold down the synch button for more than 10 seconds, but the wii remotes dont seem to work either with the wii fitness disc.

It's either not establishing a connection with the Wii, or it's batteries need changing. I personally have never had to connect a balance board with the Wii for the first time, I only played with it at my friend's house.

Important Note!
Do Not use "One-Time Mode" sync.
Syncing can be completed only if a compatible game disc is running in the console.The Wii Balance Board may need to be synced to each compatible game individually.Some games may require you to go into a specific screen to sync the Wii Balance Board.These sync settings will be saved even after the console is turned off.

Open the SD Card slot cover on the front of the Wii console.4. Remove the Battery Cover on the bottom of the Wii Balance Board.
5. Press and release the SYNC button on the Wii Balance Board. The Power LED on the board will start blinking.
6. Press and release the SYNC button on the console while the Power LED on the board is still blinking.7. The Power LED will stop blinking and light steadily once the synchronization is complete.8. Replace the battery cover and return the board to the normal operating position.

Follow these directions to sync the Wii Balance Board (so that it is recognized by the Wii console):

The Power LED will stop blinking and light steadily once the synchronization is complete.

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.

Have new crown compatible fitness board, new batteries inserted, inserted Wii fitness disc, choose training, then trial, choose hula hoop game, used remote press A to start.

Screen says place me on a flat floor and press POWER button before stepping onto me

Followed the instructions power button flashes blue, as do the four corners then the lights go out - then nothing happening, still have the same message place flat on floor etc....

Have also tried the Wii Balance Board Check - followed all instructions last one says please turn on power. Pressed button flashes blue as do four corners then they go out

Synchronizing the Wii Balance Board with your Wii Console
IMPORTANT: To operate correctly, the Wii Balance Board must be synchronized with the Wii console using Standard Mode Synchronization. Follow the steps below to synchronize the board to the console.

• This procedure must be followed for each Wii Balance Board compatible Game Disc.
• These synchronization settings will be saved even if the console is turned off.
• This procedure can be completed only if a compatible Game Disc is running in the console.

1. Press the EJECT Button on the front of the Wii console and remove any
   game disc if necessary. Insert a Wii Balance Board compatible Game Disc.
2. Use the Wii Remote to select the Disc Channel on the Wii Menu screen and select START.
3. Open the SD Card slot cover on the front of the Wii console.
   NOTE: Close the SD Card slot cover when you are finished with the synchronization procedure.
4. Remove the Battery Cover on the bottom of the Wii Balance Board.
   NOTE: Replace the Battery Cover when you are finished with the aynchronization procedure.
5. Press the SYNCHRO Button (SYNC.) on the Wii Balance Board. The Power LED on the board will start blinking (for up to about 20 seconds).

Press the SYNCHRO Button (SYNC.) on the console while the Power LED on the board is blinking.

1. IMPORTANT: Do not press and hold the SYNCHRO Button on the Wii console down for more than 10 seconds. This will delete all of the Standard Mode synchronization information for all Wii Remotes that you use with that console.
2. The Power LED will stop blinking and light steadily once the synchronization is
   complete. You are now ready to play the Wii Balance Board compatible Game Disc. Please refer to the instruction booklet for the Game Disc you are using for further information on gameplay.

• Only one Wii Balance Board can be synchronized to a Wii console at a time. Up to a total of 10 Wii Remotes and accessories can be synchronized to a console at any time with the Standard Mode procedure. If additional synchronizations are made, the oldest existing ones will be overwritten.
• The Wii Balance Board can only be synchronized to one console at a time using the Standard Mode procedure. If you change the console you are using the board with, you will have to repeat the synchronization procedure each time.
• The Wii Balance Board uses the Player 4 (P4) connection. If a Wii Remote is actively using P4, that remote will be disconnected while the board is being used.
